Research carefully both here and on the Internet, any Rx drug before taking it. The Proletariat Protocol is based on the assumption of no Rx drugs (since doctors usually won't cooperate). However, realistically speaking, most patients who are on a do-it-yourself protocol such as the Prole Prote will also taking one or more Rx drugs either with the cooperation of their medical doctor, or without it. The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of interesting Rx drugs, but may serve as a place to begin investigation. Those drugs which in my opinion show the most promise I have shown in boldface. BOILERPLATE: I am not endorsing anything on this list. The only drug on this list that I take specifically for ALS is Deprenyl (Jumex), but that doesn't mean anyone else should. I also take Telmisartan for hypertension and occasionally inhaled beta agonists and steroids for COPD. | Research carefully both here and on the Internet, any Rx drug before taking it.
