What You Wish For - By Paul Blacklow & Rebecca Hayter

What You Wish ForThe book, What You Wish For, is the work of Auckland writer Rebecca Hayter and Paul Blacklow. Paul was diagnosed with motor neurone disease at the age of 31, just a few months after his marriage to Julianne, and died four years later in March 2007.

Since Paul has passed from Motor Neuron Disease Rebecca has been completing the writing and editing Pauls book. Pauls hope was that the published book will raise awareness of the disease and help those with a terminal disease live a quality life.

This is a profound, touching and honest account of terminal illness. It will answer questions for many as Paul finds peace in the knowledge that there is no cure, and for him, death will come earlier than planned. Paul and his wife Julianne have done a brave thing in inviting readers into their private world of grief, anger, joy and adaptation.

Pauls book shows how each of our lives can be unexpectedly and suddenly changed and the extent to which we can all become open to ideas and experiences which we may never have previously entertained.Pauls desire to learn and experience from such a wide range of therapies is a lesson for us all in determination, courageousness and remaining open minded.

My husband was diagnosed with MND ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) when he was 69 years old 6 years ago. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. The psychological support from the medical center was non-existent and if it were not for totalcureherbsfoundation .c om and the sensitive cure of their herbal formula he would have been not been alive today,there was significant improvement in the first 4 weeks of usage that gave us hope that he will be alive,His doctor put him on riluzole, letting us know there was no cure until we gave try on total cure herbal supplement that cure him totally from this disease after 15 weeks of his usage. There is nothing positive about cure ALS condition except for their herbal treatment .

My father was diagnosed with ALS in the summer of 2013;  His initial symptoms were quite noticeable. He first experienced weakness in his right arm and his speech and swallowing abilities were profoundly affected. We all did our best to seek help for this disease, no medications they prescribed worked ,we were all scared we might lose him due to his condition, as he had been his brother's caregiver a few years earlier for the same disease before he passed. doctor recommend natural treatment from multivitamincare .org for his ALS we have no choice to give a try on natural organic treatment ,this herbal cure has effectively reverse my father condition ,losing his balance which led to stumbling and falling stop  after the completing the herbal supplement which include his weakness in his right arm and his speech, home remedies from multivitamincare .org is the best although their service is a little bit expensive but it worth it, they save lives.
