profoundly prevents brain damage associated with Parkinson's disease, mouse
study suggests - Science Daily, 6/24/11 - "lithium has recently been
suggested to be neuroprotective in relation to several neurodegenerative
conditions including Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis and has been touted for its anti-aging properties in simple
animals" - See Nutrient Carriers Incorporated, Advanced Research, Lithium Orotate, 120 mg, 200 Tablets

"Free radicals have long been thought to play a role in ALS, and some ALS
specialists advise taking antioxidant vitamins in hopes of curbing them. In Mattson's experiment, published in this month's Annals of Neurology, free radicals caused ceramides
to rise inside those crucial nerve cells ... Indeed, doctors like Newman expect medications, not diet, to ultimately hold the key. For now, Newman advises patients just to eat the moderate-fat diet the government already recommends for a healthy heart and take antioxidants such as vitamin E
as a precaution"
- DA Grants Orphan Drug Status to Creatine for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - Doctor's Guide, 3/26/02 -
"Creatine
is a critical element in cellular energy production and modulation. It is the substrate of the creatine kinase system, which helps prolong cellular life and protect against cell injury and death ... We have seen, and
continue to see, encouraging results among ALS patients, as measured by muscle strength and a decreased rate of deterioration. Additionally, creatine has a long history of safe use, and is well
tolerated by patients in the study"
