Yes, I was talking about clinical evidence that fungii are present in the CSF & brains of certain people with ALS.
As you pointed out, antifungals didn't prove to be wonder drugs, so we're left with the usual chasm between research and treatment![]()

Andy, you could take a good probiotic supplement - natural yoghurts alone can fall short in both type and quantity of probiotics. (I am also vegetarian and eat a lot of vegan food)
Given your relative small loss of function - and I'm conscious of my use of relative, as any loss of function is life changing - would you be interested in trying Theracurmin for 6 months?
Love Ellie.

Good afternoon Ellie
Thank you for your comments - where is the best place to get this stuff from as I will try anything once!
I know this place in Vancouver in, BC Canada who might ship it - https://lifestylemarkets.com/contact-us/

Bedlack recommends Theracurmin by Integrative Therapeutics, rather than the bog standard brands, due to its greater bioavailabilty and ability to be detected in the faecal microbiome.
If you search for it, a couple of US based sellers pop up. Amazon don’t ship it to the UK, but others do.

As far as I know the only documented report of people using antifungals for ALS is below.

Interesting to read but should probably be taken with a pinch of salt as bold claims of improvements are made.
However lets not completely rule it out. Similar improvements have been noted in people with ALS like sysmptoms which have turned out to be related to HIV infection and possibly I think lyme desease.
Hi Ellie
Okay - will have a look later when I get near a safe machine

Hi Ellie
I seem to have made an order from somebody who will ship to the UK of the type of Theracurmin by Integrative Therapeutics you mention.
Now waiting to see how much I get charged as it comes through customs!

Hmmm, it strikes me that you don't do as much online shopping as I do
Hope they get through Customs easily and quickly. You never know, they may make it through without charge!
You should be only liable for VAT is the order value is between £39 and £135, plus Royal Mail's £8 handling fee.
Good luck.

Hi Ellie
I ordered six month supply in the hope it would work and so paid over that amount, and now seem to have call from the Post Office for just over £50 for customs duty or something

50 quid duty on 6 months supply isn't bad, Andy.
Wish you luck from the bottom of my heart!
Love Ellie.
