Eric Edney, Diag. ALS 1993

Healing ALS was founded in 2010 by Patricia Tamowski and Scott Douglas when they met Eric Edney, a partial ALS reversal who was diagnosed with ALS at age 59 and was in his 80’s.

Eric knew of others who had also reversed ALS and with time we found many more. Since then, we have interviewed over 40 people who have reversed ALS and know of well over 100 ALS Reversals. Many have recovered almost all of their functionality and are leading normal lives today. Others are partial ALS reversals who have stabilized and are leading fulfilling lives. We have also met many long term ALS survivors.

HEALING ALS STAFF

Thanks to your donations we have been able to have a part-time paid staff.

Alicia Hebert

Alicia Hebert’s father was diagnosed with ALS and finding Healing ALS helped bring her family out of the darkness of such a devastating diagnosis. Alicia was involved in every aspect of his care and the research that was needed in trying to reverse his symptoms. Sadly her father passed away due to complications with pneumonia. She is dedicated to changing the way ALS is handled by the medical community.

She is actively helping with the ALS Registry and is always available to step in where needed.
