Useful takeaways from this story.

Jenny Slatten’s ALS has progressed to the point that she can hardly speak and is growing weaker.

She is taking edaravone and riluzole—FDA-approved drugs intended to slow ALS progression—along with B12, melatonin, and magnesium.

The useful part

As the couple raise funds to get Jenny better treatment, they have delivered a series of health updates. Now, Jenny essentially can no longer speak, and she is growing weaker despite the battery of medications and supplements that she's taking. '90 Day Fiance' fans have noticed that Sumit Singh does most of the talking in videos about Jenny Slatten's ALS.

How it works

  • However, studies have found a link between taking melatonin and slowing disease progression of ALS and improving survival outcomes.
  • (Reminder that it was popularized in the US after James Reston underwent it following an emergency appendectomy during Nixon's trip to China.) No treatment, pharmaceutical or holistic, can cure ALS.
  • YouTube/GoFundMe) Jenny Slatten is 'getting weaker by the day' In a recent update to the GoFundMe page for Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh, family friend Serma Minincleri revealed the 90 Day Fiance:
  • Many of us may take melatonin to adjust to a new sleep schedule, avoid jet lag, or even rely upon the natural sleep hormone to go to bed most nights.
  • ALS has already robbed her of her voice Unfortunately, Jenny Slatten has also largely lost the ability to speak comfortably.

What to take from it

Details worth keeping

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis has treatments but no cure. "Jenny is getting weaker by the day," the update revealed. (This topic will require further study, but that is great news, especially since this supplement is readily available and widely considered to be safe.) Unfortunately, at best, this combination of medications and supplements will slow the progression of ALS — not stop it.
