Help Sally beat ALS

I’m Sally. I was diagnosed with ALS in August 2019. It came as a huge shock because I was only 32 and in excellent health. The only issue was the mysterious muscle weakness that was rapidly occurring and after 6 months of doctor visits I finally received possibly the scariest diagnosis anyone could receive.

Once you’re diagnosed with ALS, doctors just hand you paperwork that hasn’t been updated in 30 years: providing a brief summary of what ALS is and the clinic information. The only thing doctors offer after a diagnosis are ALS clinic visits and maybe a clinical trial. In these visits a team of nurses monitor your function (breathing, strength, speech, walking, etc.). They 100% of the time expect decline and simply monitor and provide options to assist with the decline. They don’t discuss potential therapies, diet, supplements, or anything that would potentially preserve nerve function. They aren’t trained to look at ALS any other way than as a fatal disease.

I stopped going to clinic visits years ago in 2020 and guess what? I haven’t declined since then. I decided to take my health into my own hands and pursue a functional route of my health: working with functional practitioners that do diagnostic testing to look for problems that could have led to my symptoms of ALS. In the last couple of years I’ve learned SO MUCH about my body and human physiology in general. I’ve done expensive testing and now I must continue to work with doctors that are interested in helping me heal rather than helping me into an early grave.

I’m choosing to fight rather than succumb to archaic ways of thinking that ALS is terminal and there’s nothing that can be done. I’m not interested in a pharmaceutical drug that does more damage in the body than it’s worth, and will only potentially slow progression rather than treat the root cause. I’ve already stopped progression of ALS, and now I need help to fully heal.

I need help with expenses with diagnostic testing, practitioner fees, equipment costs, physical therapy, and making my home accessible and functional. I worked hard for 17 years saving money and supporting myself, but I’ve spent my life savings in the pursuit of health. I have no other option than to ask for help to meet my goal so I can afford the care that I need from qualified health professionals. I know they can help me resolve the issues of toxicity that were the catalyst of my ALS symptoms.

I believe to my core I can regain my ability to walk with hard work, nutrition and detoxifying the mold, Candida, and heavy metals I’ve tested positive for.

Since my diagnosis, I’ve opened up and run Denver Wine Merchant with my life partner Steven Washuta. He is spread thin running the store and being my caregiver. We’re growing a young small business and the profits are not substantial enough to pay for my medical expenses. The wine shop gives my life purpose, and I know it has helped me stop progression by being fortunate enough to run my own business.

Thanks for listening and much love,
