Motor neurone disease (MND/ALS) or “dysfunctional cellular receptors”?

A severely affected male regains muscular, respiratory and vocal functions several minutes after application of a wheatgrass extract to his skin.

Introduction

Motor neurone disease is a severely debilitating, incurable, usually fatal medical condition. It is thought to be caused by dysfunctional neurones in the brain failing to maintain muscular function throughout the body.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health states that motor-neurone disease consists of “a group of chronic, sporadic and hereditary neurological disorders characterised by progressive degeneration of motor neurones.”

However, in this case of a severely affected 50 year old male, we see significant, almost instantaneous restoration of his musculature, respiration and mobility, approximately five minutes after application of a wheatgrass extract to one leg.

The Case

In January 2023, when I was overseas, John and his business partner visited me unannounced at my hotel room after a long drive from the country. Having heard that the wheatgrass extract I use therapeutically, (view my website), might help improve his dysfunctional breathing and walking. Severely wasted, weakened, and only barely capable of shuffling his feet while leaning heavily on his walking stick, I felt there was little I could do to assist him. However, I invited them both in to take a rest.

John inched his way very slowly along the passage, using me for support. He then fell, exhausted, into an armchair. But, when he tried to stand unassisted, weakness failed him and he fell back into the chair. (See Video No. 1.)

Video No. 1. Prior to applying wheatgrass extract to John’s right ankle, note the severe muscular weakness and wasting of both his legs. He can only just manage to stand, but then falls back into his chair. (Compare with significant improvement shown in Video No. 3, about ten minutes later.)

Given my 29 years working with the extract therapeutically, it seemed that it could help restore John's weakened leg musculature by "reconnecting" dysfunctional motor nerves to the brain. I therefore sprayed it over a small area (2-3 centimetre radius) over his soleus muscle, medial to his right ankle (See Fig. 1.), to see if there could be any response from his brain.

Almost immediately, his lower right leg felt quite warm, and I could feel numerous, strong, pulling-like muscular movements which, less than a minute later, appeared in his other leg. For this reponse to occur, John's brain must have been functioning normally. (Unfortunately, the instantaneous response robbed me of catching it on film.)

About two minutes later, John, having regained sufficient strength in both legs to stand, was able to walk about the room using his stick, unaided. His brain must have been functioning normally! So what could have caused his dysfunctional muscular, respiratory and vocal symptoms?

To my mind, ligands present in the wheatgrass extract had rapidly reconnected defective peripheral cellular receptors with John's brain. Remarkably, he then was able to stand then walk around the room unaccompanied. Clearly, his brain was functioning normally.

While I was palpating both of John's legs a few minutes after applying the extract, (Video No. 2) I clearly felt the return of warmth, first in his right leg, then almost immediately afterwards, in his left. I could also feel multiple, strong “jerking” movements in both his calves and thighs, which I presume were caused by contractions of reactivated muscle cells.

I felt sure it was not a "dysfunctional brain" causing John's symptoms, but "dysfunctional cellular receptors" preventing contact with his brain - a dysfunction that my wheatgrass extract appeared to have reactivated.

Video No. 2. The wheatgrass extract has been applied, (a minute earlier) over a small, coin-sized area near John’s soleus muscle, next to his right ankle. (See Fig. 1.) This was chosen deliberately to test my "dysfunctional cellular receptor" theory. 

John’s respiratory rate had also slowed considerably and his voice had strengthened, suggesting further neurological recovery. Apparently there had been comprehensive restoration of neuronal pathways from the periphery to his brain.

(Click here to see a video showing recovery of a stroke-affected adult, almost immediately after application of the wheatgrass extract to his skin.)

In Video No. 3., five minutes after application of the wheatgrass extract, John is seen walking, unassisted, showing remarkable improvement of respiration, speech, and swallowing. He then discards his walking stick, walks - first cautiously, then with increasing confidence, around the room - unaided. Clearly, numerous cellular receptors in both legs had reconnected with his brain.

John and his partner left soon afterwards armed with oral and topical wheatgrass extract for continuing further treatment. However, given the severity of his condition, his prognosis was not promising.

Video No. 4. (Below) Nine days later, John returns unexpectedly, having driven himself for several hours. Being in the carpark coincidentally when he arrived, I was amazed to see him driving, then walking, with longer, more confident strides, and with marked improvement of facial expression, respiration and speech. Still dependent upon his walking stick, but with considerably improved mobility, he climbed into his car and drove off.

After returning to Australia, I was notified six weeks later that John had passed away. However, given the severity of his muscular and other severe symptoms at our first meeting, I was surprised he had survived as long as he did. Clearly, the wheatgrass extract restored his neurological dysfunction, most likely by reactivating numerous dysfunctional cellular receptors in his body. Perhaps he may have survived longer had he been exposed to the extract sooner.

How wheatgrass extract might work

The extract is known to contain at least 20 ligands (Rhone Poulenc Laboratories, now Aventis) that are capable of reactivating the faulty gene expression of dysfunctional cellular receptors throughout the body. In "MND/ALS" patients, (and in many other medical conditions) it appears to rapidly reactivate them resulting in re-connection to the brain - as demonstrated in Figure 2:

How ligands in wheatgrass extract reconnect the periphery to the brain.

Summary: Given the rapid response to wheatgrass extract displayed in this case, I question the theory of the cause of MND/ALS - that the brain is at fault. Instead, it appears that inability of numerous cellular receptors in retaining connection with the brain could be the underlying cause - not the brain itself. Here, wheatgrass extract ligands (at least 20 present in the extract), have apparently reactivated peripheral dysfunctional cellular receptors, thereby restoring neurological connection with the brain.
