2007 A Whole New Year

Since January of 2007, Sergio decided not to drive any longer. This was a very big step since he has always prided himself to be fairly independent (Even as a baby he was always on the go- taking his first step at 7 months and learning to ride a 2 wheeler bike at 4 years old). Today, he relies on his friends and family to get around the town.

Other big changes needed to be made to his home also. Sergio sleeps in the downstairs bedroom since his master bedroom is upstairs and stairs are much too hard and dangerous to maneuver these days. Sergio's brother in laws, Mike Guss and Jimmy Bravo, have made changes to it so that Sergio can be as comfortable as possible in his room with all the conveniences of a wall mounted TV, new fan lamp, painting and other such things.

Sergio has a full bathroom downstairs which he uses but needed to change out the step in tub/shower combo to a big walk/ wheel in shower. For those of us without any physical restrictions, these are things we just take for granted but they are big changes that needed to be made for Sergio and others like him. And not to mention hard on the wallet.

A GIANT thank you to sister, Norma and her husband Jimmy, and his friends, along with Tina and her husband Mike for helping to convert Sergio's bedroom and bathroom for him.

Sergio and Jimmy celebrate the holidays.

Sergio and Mike.

Something else that Sergio has decided to add to his daily regiment of pills is Glyconutrients.

Glyconutrients are designed to work with our bodies to help it repair, heal, regulate and sustain disease free health. In fact, these patented pharmaceutical-grade Nutraceutical products contain components now considered the newly discovered fourth category of essential nutrients (missing from our average modern diets) but which are vital to our optimal health and well-being!

An article in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (MIT) – Technology Review stated:

Glycomics is one of the ten emerging technologies that will change the world! “If you don’t have the making of glyco-protein forms (sugars) around the cell, you don’t have life. The medical potential is absolutely enormous.

There is an old adage that states “Let the body heal itself”. We all realize that our bodies are amazing machines but even the best machine needs the appropriate fuel to function at 100% efficiency. We all now have these scientifically validated “fuels” available to us – Glyconutrients!

Just in the past few months, Sergio has felt a bit stronger in his legs. Yet still not easy, getting up from a sitting position isn't as hard as it was just a few months ago.

As stated before, we understand fully that none of this will reverse or cure Sergio of ALS but with all that we've done, and and all that we will do Sergio, it is so that he can live the most healthy life for as long as possible.
