In October of 2000 I lost my Uncle Marshall Allen to ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). Marshall was a gentle giant who stood 6'6", spoke with a soft tongue and loved sports. When he died he left 3 children and 6 grandchildren, he has another one now that he has only met from heaven. Our family watched him deteriorate slowly and painfully, all the while completely aware that his body was failing him and his end of days nearing. You see ALS causes your muscles to waste away and harden. This means that while your mind stays 100% sharp your voluntary muscles that control such basic things as breathing and swallowing, as well as, major things like walking will eventually fail you. If you speak to hospice workers, hospital workers, social workers or whomever, most will tell you this is one of the most difficult and painful diseases to watch someone die from.
When my uncle was initially diagnosed, his family snapped in to action and began solidifying the ALS Association of North Texas. My uncle traveled to Washington DC to lobby for research of ALS. There is no cause or cure for ALS, and it can affect anyone. It does not discriminate race, sex. or age. However, the little we do know says that it is predominately hereditary. Since his passing his wife Linda has been actively involved in almost every aspect of ALS and to this day continues to be.
In 2011, Linda Allen, his wife, was also diagnosed with ALS. BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS HEREDITARY?! AND HUSBAND AND WIFE AREN'T GENETICALLY RELATED?! I did, and they are not, you are correct. Marshall and Linda are one of approximately 10 couples in the ENTIRE WORLD both diagnosed with ALS. RARE to say the least and something our family never dreamed we would have to endure again. A person with ALS will require an average of $127,000 in equipment and nursing care can exceed ten times that amount. As she wages a war against this heinous disease and the degeneration of her body and her family battles to accept these strange and unimaginable circumstances, Linda continues to press on advocating for The ALS Association Texas Chapter.
On November 17th ,2012 we will host an event called Bettin' on a Cure for ALS at House of Blues - Dallas from 7p - 11p featuring live music, food, drink, silent auction, DJ, casino games with fabulous prizes and much more.
Your kindess won't be forgotten. Not by the people who have lost the ability to walk and need the motorized wheel chair or the adjustments to their home to allow them daily access to the things we take for granted. Not by the family who seeks comfort, knowledge and a shoulder to cry on during this painful and scary journey in the support groups. Not the children of our children who will hopefully be spared because of advances in research and treatment. Not one of these people will forget the kindness you have offered up by supporting this cause.

I viewers, I was diagnosed officially in March 2015. I’ve SO MANY symptoms! The "diabetic nerve pain"-tho I’m NOT Diabetic! Just LOTS of it! The tingling, & numbness & fatigue and ALL the rest! Do I HAVE to live the remainder of my life this way? I don’t even have the energy to get my NORMAL tests, let alone an M.S. one! To get out of bed& go out is BEYOND a chore for me! Nobody would understand it! My life was a living nightmare - in ADDITION to what I have to endure with one of my sons.(I can’t even take care of him) - I desperately search for an alternative cure to save my life till a friend of mine from UK told me about Dr. MOHAMEND from AFRICA who cured her husband from ALS, PLS, and FSHD with His Herbal Healing OIL, ROOT and HERBS. I contacted Dr. MOHAMEND through His what’sapp number and told him about my MS problem and he assured me that I will be CURED that he has CURES to any disease and VIRUS. I was very happy to hear that from him. I place an ORDER and he sent it through a courier delivery service to my address which I sent to him. I received it within 4 days and immediately commerce usage as prescribed by Dr. MOHAMEND In the first one week of usage, I started noticing great change all over my body, I was now gaining STRENGHT gradually, after three weeks, I was able to move my arms and legs, talk and also swallow. I was totally CUREDof MS disease after six weeks. You can contact Dr. MOHAMEND via his email: [email protected] or call/whatsapp on +2348148010628. My FAMILY and I refer people to HIM everyday and everyone who has contacted him is recovering and seeing REVERSAL in SYMPTOMS. Please share this with anyone you know is suffering from ALS, PLS, MS, MSA, FSHD, Parkinson’s, and Fibromyalgia. I believe he treats more than those things, so if you have questions please just call. Can’t hurt. Let me know if you have any questions! I’ll be Happy to help through my email: [email protected]. I don’t want anyone else to die with this hideous disease! God bless.

I have heard of him before, but after watching the documentary “Last Days of Left Eye” I was turned on to the full story about Dr. Okaben He is a man who has the Cure for AIDS, Cancer, Sickle Cell, Herpes,warts,lupus, Diabetes and every kind of illness, through a whole foods vegetarian diet and natural herbs, what he calls Electric Foods. He never went to school, college or medical school but has thousands of testimonials of healing people with HIV and AIDS, Cancer and several other illnesses. Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of TLC was cured of Herpes by him and she was so moved by his knowledge that she went on to spread the word about him in every way she could. She also opened a Cultural/Healing Center for Children in Honduras before she passed away tragically. This all inspired me that i had to contact Dr. Okaben, because i was having herpes which could not be cure but was only managed, when i contacted Dr. Okaben, he sent me some herbs which i took, and now i can tell you, i have be totally cured of Herpes, Please if you have any form of illness especially STD,hemorrhoids,Infertility,HIV etc. you can contact him on. Name: Dr. Okaben Email: [email protected] PHONE/WHATS APP : +(2349029519146)
