Dear PALS and Caregivers,
This is Kim writing this post. Though I leave most of the work of maintaining this site, and providing what we consider to be valuable and pertinent information to Kay for the most part, I try to stay abreast of as much as possible.
Our goal with this site is to help other PALS find a way to accomplish what Kay and I have with our battle against ALS. We are very sensitive to the cost so many of us incur and the lack of insurance assistance in the great majority of treatments we have used. We are constantly searching for treatments and resources that will allow each PALS to not only control the costs of healing, but to empower each to maintain control of their own program.
I discovered an article about a technique known as EWOT, or Exercise With Oxygen Therapy a few weeks ago. I had heard of this treatment at least a couple years ago, but did not explore further, feeling our protocol was doing a good job of maintaining our progress. However, I was intrigued with what I saw in the intro video on the internet, and ordered the book by Dr. Mark Sircus titled Anti-Inflammatory Oxygen Therapy. His book explains the benefits of the therapy and other important related issues, but neither offers the equipment for sale, nor does he promote any particular source. To me, this particular detail diminishes potential conflict of interest and validates his writings.
(Kay's note: Dr. Sircus' premise is that when exercising we are not getting enough oxygen. Breathing the extra oxygen and getting sodium bicarbonate {baking soda} and magnesium as you exercise allows more oxygen to be absorbed into the cells. His book has a chapter on each of those issues. I, Kay, having studied for years about the importance of being on the alkaline side of Ph balance, realize it is so important for disease control. Disease loves an acidic body. An alkaline body with more oxygen could give amazing results.)
We have always felt the core of our protocol and the key to its success has been the increased oxidation of my body. This includes the ozone therapies and the hyperbaric treatments we have done, augmented by the diet and supplements. The program promoted by Dr. Sircus fits right into our beliefs and findings. EWOT is a program that increases the oxygen content of our bodies, and may perform much better and faster the HBOT (Hyperbarics), and at a fraction of the cost.
Both Kay and I have been on the EWOT program for just over two weeks now, and are feeling the benefits. Though I continue to do the ozone IV and insufflation treatments, we are retiring our hyperbaric chamber for the time being.
We encourage, as always, each of you to study and research to see if this program can benefit you.
As a parting note, I generally like to see what all the "Quack Watchers" have to say about the new things we discover. I was not surprised to find negative and insulting references to both EWOT and Dr. Sircus. My response to them is simple. Show me one single neurologist that has treated a PALS that was in the condition I was 5 1/2 years ago and had the success I have had. Unless that PALS so treated can keep up with me on a round of golf, match me in swimming, or can help me put in a sprinkler system I just completed, the Quack Watchers need to keep their opinions to themselves.
Here are a few other websites that discuss EWOT:
The first article appears that it might be negative toward oxygen therapies, but read the whole thing.

We are taking 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda with some magnesium mixed in a glass of water 1/2 hour before starting the exercise session. This is to help drive the oxygen into the cells.
For further information on baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and magnesium, go to www.drsircus.com and read his articles on those subjects under his Articles tab. Baking soda will help detox heavy metals.
We will have more of an update on the EWOT next month as we have had more time to test it out.
