ALS Lou Gehrig's Disease Root Cause Analysis and Updated Strategies by Amy Jaramillo Summary: 00:00:00 Amy explains the objective of the call, which is to discuss new strategies and results from their work, give a broad overview of what they're doing, and answer any questions. She emphasizes that she is not a physician, and this is not medical advice. 00:05:00 Amy discusses her approach to treating ALS, which she does not view as a disease but rather as an outcome of various causes. She emphasizes the importance of finding the right combination of treatments for each individual, as a monotherapy is unlikely to be effective. 00:10:00 Amy discusses her approach to treating ALS as a collection of manageable symptoms rather than an untreatable disease. She emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing individual components such as infections, chemical exposures, and fungal overgrowth. 00:15:00 Amy discusses her shift in focus from repairing mitochondria in motor neurons to targeting the supporting cells, or Galil cells, surrounding motor neurons. She explains that these cells, which include oligodendrites, microglia, and astrocytes, are responsible for providing a large majority of mitochondria to motor neurons. 00:25:00 Amy discusses the role of serotonin and acetylcholine in improving symptoms of ALS, specifically in relation to emotion control, speaking, swallowing, and breathing. 00:30:00 Amy discusses the role of the Herpes Simplex 2 virus in modifying brain chemistry and its impact on ALS progression. The virus, which resides in the spine but has control switches in the brain, can increase serotonin and dopamine levels, particularly in the reward center related to sex. 00:35:00 Amy discusses the complex nature of ALS and the need to correct neurotransmitter pathways rather than focusing on a single location in the brain. She mentions the involvement of neurotransmitters such as Gaba, glutamine, acetylcholine, and serotonin in motor neuron damage. 00:40:00 Amy discusses the importance of IV medications and acetylcholine pathways in treating ALS. The speaker explains that they had observed significant improvements in a patient's voice and mobility after using IV therapies, and when they introduced a medication that blocked acetylcholine receptors 00:45:00 Amy discusses the importance of identifying the root cause of motor neuron damage in ALS before focusing on repair. She explains that the use of stem cells, while beneficial, is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and the timing and approach to their application are crucial. 00:50:00 Amy discusses a patient's improvement in speech and facial muscle control after a combination of transcranial stimulation, Vegas nerve component stimulation, and building mitochondria. She explains that just providing stimulation to the motor cortex alone may not be enough if the underlying issue is serotonergic to acetylcholine imbalance or ongoing infections. 00:55:00 Amy discusses the process of identifying potential root causes of motor neuron involvement for individuals with ALS. She explains that the first step is to schedule a Zoom call for a strategy session, during which they will discuss various factors such as infections, chemical and fungal exposures, genetics, nutritional status, and immune function. 01:00:00 Amy discusses the dynamic nature of the treatment plan for ALS patients. She emphasizes that the goal is to prevent worsening and improve symptoms, rather than following a strict protocol. Jaramillo shares her experience with patients who have shown improvement and explains that the approach is constantly evolving to achieve better outcomes in more people. 01:10:00 Amy explains the difference between brain stimulation and electric shock therapy in treating ALS. She notes that while both involve electrical currents, the waveforms and targets are vastly different. Brain stimulation aims to modulate specific waves in the motor cortex to stimulate nerve cells, unlike electric shock therapy, which indiscriminately zaps the brain. 01:15:00 Amy discusses the importance of addressing the root causes of ALS, specifically the Herpes Simplex 2 infection at the base of the spine, which alters human behavior and controls neurotransmitters in the brain. 01:20:00 Amy discusses the importance of proper nutrition, specifically a Mediterranean diet, for ensuring the initial startup of cellular processes. She emphasizes the role of glycolysis as the cell's starter and the need for a small portion of complex carbohydrates with a low glycemic index to support this process. 01:30:00 Amy concludes the discussion by acknowledging the large number of people interested in ALS and the progress made in neurodegenerative diseases in the last five years.

Advancements in ALS Research Insights from Scientific Director Amy Jaramillo - March 20th 2024 00:00:00 Amy Jaramillo discusses her recent focus on new developments in ALS research, specifically in the area of neurodegenerative disease. She explains that her previous focus had been too narrow, solely on motor neurons, and she failed to recognize the role of supportive cells, or non-neuron cells, in motor neuron damage and disease. This shift in focus led her to discover the importance of microglia cells, which are non-neurons but play a crucial role in keeping neurons healthy by getting rid of infections and repairing damaged neurons. 00:05:00 Amy Jaramillo discusses her research on the asite protocol and its unexpected benefits. She shares that instead of just seeing speech improvements, they observed significant enhancements in hand strength, fine motor coordination, and walking, particularly for individuals with rigidity or spasticity. Jaramillo then explores ways to improve stem cell production and neuron repair, focusing on strategies used in oncology. She explains that some medications and radiation used in oncology destroy bone marrow, leading to an increase in stem cells and immune system support. 00:10:00 Amy Jaramillo discusses the use of stem cells in treating ALS and the importance of autophagy in allowing new healthy cells to replace damaged ones. She explains that autophagy strategies that work in individuals without chronic illnesses do not work in those with chronic conditions, and that shocking cells in individuals with chronic inflammation can worsen their condition. Jaramillo also mentions the addition of new strategies to the program to increase stem cell production, improve immune surveillance, and bolster the white cell community. She also discusses the potential damage to asites, which support neurons, and the role of halides in damaging them. 00:15:00 Amy discusses the importance of understanding the individual presentation of motor neuron disease and reverse engineering the condition. She mentions a case study of an individual with rigidity, fine motor coordination issues, speaking, swallowing, breathing issues, and mood-related symptoms, potentially indicating damage to astrocytes. 00:20:00 Amy Jaramillo discusses the use of ganglion blocks as a treatment for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a neurodegenerative disease. Jaramillo explains that she does not recommend ganglion blocks as a monotherapy due to their temporary effect, comparing it to using a dental block for tooth pain without addressing the underlying issue. Instead, the ALS center is focusing on improving the function of asites, which support motor neurons, using medications designed to increase mitochondrial health. 00:25:00 Amy Jaramillo discusses the benefits of exploring various areas of health and wellness, including traditional herbs and supplements. She mentions the example of mistletoe and its use in oncology, and emphasizes the importance of supporting mitochondrial function for individuals with ALS. Before implementing specific treatments, Jaramillo recommends focusing on general health and wellness by using supplements like sodium bicarb, chaperon one, and an amino acid powder. 00:30:00 Amy Jaramillo discusses the relationship between blood sugar dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases, specifically ALS. She explains that motor neurons require sugar to function but may struggle to get it into the cells due to insulin or insulin receptor issues. This can lead to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. When it comes to fruits, Jaramillo recommends a rainbow diet for maximum vitamin and mineral intake but cautions against consuming too much fruit due to their sugar content. 00:35:00 Amy Jaramillo discusses the importance of maintaining the right pH balance in the body for motor neuron function. She recommends using a combination of sodium bicarb and potassium bicarb to alkalinize the body, especially first thing in the morning and at the end of the day. Jaramillo also suggests consuming warm water with lemon as an effective way to alkalinize the body throughout the day. https://www.bodyscience.life/amy-bio Supplements mentioned in the webinar Chaperone1 https://www.biomeiqstore.com/products/chaperone-1 Extreme Aminos https://www.biomeiqstore.com/products/extreme-aminos Bicarbonate Supreme https://www.biomeiqstore.com/products/bicarbonate-supreme BodyScience 5975 Sunset Drive Suite 100 South Miami FL 33143 PHONE: 305-901-5888 www.bodyscience.life email: info@bodyscience.life ALS Page https://www.bodyscience.life/als-program Registration https://www.bodyscience.life/registration FB Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1008584079506823/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@bodysciencelife2562

Does Lyme cause ALS and Astrocyte Protocol Update 00:00:00 Amy discusses the Astrocyte protocol and its potential relationship to Lyme disease and ALS. She explains that her center's primary focus is neurodegenerative diseases, specifically motor neuron disease like ALS. 00:05:00 Amy discusses their shift in focus from motor neurons to astrocytes, a non-neuron cell type, in understanding and treating motor neuron diseases like ALS. Astrocytes are crucial for proper motor neuron health as they supply mitochondria, calcium, and antioxidants to motor neurons. 00:10:00 Amy discusses the progress of individuals undergoing treatment for motor neuron disease using an Astrocyte protocol. The protocol targets Astrocytes, one of three cells in the G network responsible for keeping motor neurons healthy. 00:15:00 Amy discusses the role of infections, specifically Lyme disease, in motor neuron damage and ALS. The speaker explains that they have observed a high number of individuals with motor neuron disease or ALS who also have high antibodies for Lyme. However, their efforts to treat Lyme did not result in the long-term improvements they were hoping for. 00:20:00 Amy compares the accuracy of antibody and antigen tests in diagnosing Lyme disease. He uses the analogy of an eyewitness misidentifying a robber to explain the potential confusion and inaccuracy of antibody tests. 00:25:00 Amy discusses the complex relationship between various infections, toxins, and motor neuron disease. According to the speaker, having a history of infections like micoplasma, exposure to chlorinated and fluorinated compounds, and heavy metals can contribute to inflammation and potentially lead to motor neuron disease. 00:30:00 Amy discusses the potential link between infections, specifically Lyme disease, and neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS. The speaker explains that viruses like COVID-19 can damage the immune system, leading to the reactivation of opportunistic viruses like Epstein-Barr, which can cause inflammation and neurodegeneration. 00:35:00 Amy compares the role of a pit crew in maintaining a race car to the function of micral, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes in maintaining healthy motor neurons. He explains that if these cells are not performing optimally, motor neuron damage and inability to function properly will occur. 00:45:00 Amy discusses the importance of considering various factors to determine the root cause of Lyme disease and its associated symptoms. He emphasizes the need to look at lab results, initial symptom locations, and progression speed to identify causal toxins and infections. 00:50:00 Amy discusses the complex relationship between infections, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS, and Parkinson's, and the role of stem cells in repairing damage. The speaker argues that in some cases, an infection like vericella-oster (the chickenpox and shingles virus) may not cause neurodegenerative disease at the moment of infection but rather decades later due to ongoing reactivations and resulting damage. 01:00:00 Amy discusses the role of genetics, infections, and toxins in the development of diseases such as ALS. Genetic predispositions play a significant role, specifically in relation to motor neuron oxidative damage and the ability to reduce oxidative damage. 01:05:00 Amy discusses the potential connection between herpes viruses, immune system dysfunction, and thyroid issues. He suggests that an individual's immune system's ability to control opportunistic infections may depend on factors such as the number of herpes viruses and other infections, as well as thyroid function. The speaker also mentions the possibility of heavy metal toxicity leading to thyroid dysfunction and, in turn, herpetic replication. 01:10:00 Amy discusses the importance of scheduling a consultation for individuals who believe their loved ones may benefit from the treatments offered. He mentions that each person requires unique medications and dosages, and that a Zoom call can be scheduled through the Body Science website to discuss potential testing and symptoms. The speaker then addresses a question about a woman diagnosed with ALS who has seen improvement after starting antibiotic treatment. 01:15:00 Amy discusses the potential reversibility of motor neuron disease, specifically in relation to the studies conducted at Tel Aviv University in 2021. The researchers found that reducing the amount of misfolded protein R (tdp43) in motor neurons allowed them to resume firing.

Listen to Amy Jaramillo (Scientific Director) describe the success on our Astrocyte Protocol 00:00:00 Amy discusses the Astrocyte protocol and its potential impact on symptoms of motor neuron disease (MND), specifically voice improvements, breathing, swallowing, and mood. The protocol, which is referred to as the Astrocyte protocol at Body Science, was developed based on anecdotal evidence from individuals with MND who experienced improvements after starting the treatment. 00:05:00 Amy discusses the role of neurotransmitters serotonin and acetylcholine in Motor Neuron Diseases (MND), specifically ALS. While serotonin is linked to mood regulation, its relationship to motor neuron involvement is unclear. Previous attempts to use serotonergic medications to increase serotonin levels have not shown improvement in lifespan. Acetylcholine, known for its role in the "fight or flight" response, has emerged as a significant player in the disease. The body can't be in both a serotonically driven (happy, content) state and a fight or flight state at the same time. 00:10:00 Amy discusses a shift in perspective regarding the cause of motor neuron diseases (MND/ALS). Previously, he believed that motor neurons were the primary source of damage due to the build-up of protein TDP-43, which limits neuron plasticity and survival. 00:15:00 Amy discusses the importance of astrocytes, which are supportive cells for motor neurons, in providing calcium for mitochondria and making antioxidants for repair. If astrocytes are damaged, motor neurons cannot get the mitochondria they need, leading to an inability to meet energy demands. Common things that can damage astrocytes include infections and chemicals such as chlorine, fluorine, perchlorates, and perflates. 00:20:00 Amy discusses the role of astrocytes and mitochondria in Motor Neuron Disease (MND) or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), specifically focusing on the damage to mitochondria and the importance of keeping them healthy. The speaker mentions that five patients, who did not receive stem cell therapy, showed improvements, but it is unclear if the same results would be achieved without stem cells. The discussion then shifts to a home protocol aimed at maintaining mitochondrial health, which involves cleaning up the area inside the electron transport chain and dealing with the free radicals outside the electron transport chain. 00:25:00 Amy discusses his shift in perspective from focusing on motor neurons as the primary culprit in Motor Neuron Disease (MND) to targeting the vulnerable astrocytes, specifically oligodendrocytes. He explains that while motor neurons are still a factor, the damage caused by infections and toxins is more likely to affect the oligodendrocytes, which can lead to motor neuron dysfunction. The speaker also touches upon the heterogeneity of MND, questioning how it can be considered one condition when it presents so differently in various individuals. 00:30:00 Amy discusses the underlying causes of motor neuron destruction in Motor Neuron Disease (MND) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). She explains that understanding these culprits is crucial for finding effective treatments. The speaker answers a question about the Vegas nerve procedure and its relation to sympathetic overdrive, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. 00:35:00 Amy discusses the potential risks of fluoride and chlorine compounds, also known as "forever chemicals," and their impact on the failure of astrocytes in Motor Neuron Disease (MND) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). 00:40:00 Amy discusses the importance of using clean water for treatments related to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Motor Neuron Disease (MND) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). They also touch on the topic of a home protocol but do not elaborate on it. 00:45:00 Amy discusses some early findings from using astrocyte treatments for Motor Neuron Disease (MND) or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Although there is limited data on the use of astrocyte treatments for MND 00:50:00 Amy discusses the Body Science ALS Foundation, which they founded to help those with Motor Neuron Disease (MND) or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The foundation is a not-for-profit organization with a growing team of 10 people on the board and committees, working to determine where funding goes and support people with MND.
