Lazarus had went to his doctor in 2014 with strange twitching. It was the first step in a long journey of diagnosis of ALS/MND. In 2017 he was diagnosed with disorder of the motor neurons and in 2018 the diagnosis progressed to Motor Neuron Disease (ALS).

By the time he was diagnosed, he had experienced fluctuations in the illness and wasn’t aware that according to most neurologists, this doesn’t happen. In fact there are over 50 people who have had a confirmation of their diagnosis and a confirmation of reversing the damage of the illness to a degree ( check Dr. Bedlack and ALS reversals for more info). The reality of the fluctuations implied it was possible to influence the course of the illness and Lazarus focused on what he was doing right and adding to that.

Currently Lazarus has reversed many of his ALS symptoms and is continuing to improve. He is walking well and swimming and talking with a normal voice, until something upsets the balance of his health; then his leg cramps up, he starts limping, his voice is reduced, his breathing gets more difficult. His health remains precarious, however, it is a lot better than dying and he is not dying from ALS.
