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.
Stephen Sherry, Diag. ALS1995
We have now evolved into a Community of over 1000 PALS (Persons diagnosed with ALS) in 30 countries, along with CALS (Caregivers), FALS (Friends and family members) and Medical Professionals dedicated to helping PALS reverse ALS.
Kim Cherry, Diag. ALS 2011

As a videographer and director of over 40 interviews with those who have successfully reversed ALS, his experience with investigative journalism on health in Seattle, Washington at NBC Affiliate King TV brings a wealth of information for our Healing ALS Community.
Patricia Tamowski
Patricia is principle coach and researcher for our Healing ALS Community. She has interviewed over 40 ALS reversals and dozens of integrative and conventional medical practitioners. She is publishing Healing ALS, the upcoming book. She founded Healing ALS and Healing Advocates along with her husband Scott Douglas.

She created the Healing ALS Registry along with dedicated members of the Healing ALS Volunteer Team.
Back in 2009, Patricia’s mom was diagnosed with “Mixed Alzheimer’s/Dementia.” Patricia started looking for some vitamins and found out that Azheimers, ALS. Parkinson’s and MS are all reversible. She and Scott helped found SharpAgain.org, a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to preventing, treating and reversing Alzheimer’s holistically. In 2015, she and Scott with SharpAgain, published their Alzheimer’s one-hour YouTube video on how to reverse Alzheimer’s disease. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1XvjeoOK0c&t=1460s. Since 2015, Patricia and Scott were divinely guided to work exclusively on ALS, which they have been doing since.
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. Alicia is able to answer the large majority of questions sent to the Healing ALS email and if not, can get the answer quickly. She is actively helping with the ALS Registry and is always available to step in where needed.
Paitra Walker
Paitra Walker is a musician and social media manager. She has worked with numerous clients from different types of industries, and in 2021 was connected to Scott and Tish from Healing ALS through a previous client. As somebody who has had several health issues in the past, Paitra has learned a plethora of valuable information from Healing ALS that she has been able to apply to her own life. She is committed to spreading the word about Healing ALS with people online and to help reach as many PALS and CALS as possible.
