Stephen Hillenburg (Aug. 21, 1961 – Nov. 26, 2018) was an American animator, cartoonist, and marine biology teacher. Hillenburg was the creator, director, producer, and writer of the Nickelodeon animated television series Spongebob Squarepants. Hillenburg died at the age of 58 from cardiopulmonary failure last month after battling ALS for nearly a year.
Spongebob Squarepants follows the adventures of SpongeBob Squarepants, an incredibly positive sea sponge who inhabits a pineapple underwater in the town of Bikini Bottom. We asked students and teachers how SpongeBob impacted the lives of their families and themselves.

I’m a little bit hesitant posting about my moms progress using Ayurvedic treatments but I’ll post in hope that someone finds this helpful despite the many herbal snake oil I see been advertise on this group. My mother who had been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease for 3 years at the age of 82 had all her symptoms reversed with Ayurveda medicine from natural herbs centre after undergoing their ALS/MND Ayurvedic protocol, she’s now able to comprehend what is seen and she no longer needs the feeding tube to feed,. God Bless all ALS disease Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength, their website is naturalherbscentre. c om She’s getting active again since starting this treatment program…

With my amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the first thing that happened almost 2 years ago now, was speaking as if I were drunk. I wasn’t. I initially did improve speech (articulating clearly but slow) but now I can no longer speak in an acceptable way. Then, a year later eating became problematic, I was biting my tongue and lips, and chewing became weak and less controlled. Soon after that some fingers started to fail me and things would drop out of my hands. Somewhere at that time bulbar ALS was diagnosed. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help me. The medical team did even less. My decline was rapid and devastating.. We tried every shot available but nothing was working. There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable treatment, Our care provider introduced us to Kycuyu Health Clinic ALS/MND herbal treatment. The treatment is a miracle.i recovered significantly! Visit www. kycuyuhealthclinic. com
