Lou Gehrig's ease

We've heard of ALS as "Lou Gehrig's disease" Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis a cause to pray on our knees But Lou Gehrig felt he was "the luckiest man on earth"* the Yankees, and his wife the main reasons for mirth Thankful for his life though with illness cut short** at ease in his disease what an awfully good sport (* regarding his farewell speech at Yankee stadium ** like in the Principle and Foundation of St. Ignatius of Loyola!) :)

My first ALS symptom occurred in 2016, but was diagnosed in 2018. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatiue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Aknni herbs centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit ww w. aknniherbscentre.c om). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others.
