  • At 47 years old, Greg Busch can no longer work, drive, cook or even use the microwave. He occasionally trips and falls. Some days, his speech is coherent - other days, he slurs his words. When people ask if he’s intoxicated, Busch replies, “No, I have Huntington’s disease.” Unfortunately, there’s no cure at the moment, but researchers are getting closer. Huntington’s disease causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, leading to involuntary movements and cognitive issues. It’s also genetic. Busch was diagnosed when he was 40. His father, grandmother and uncle all had it. Busch’s 23-year-old son has a 50 percent chance of developing the disease, but hasn’t been tested. “Right now, he doesn’t want to know,” says Busch. “It’s understandable.”
    For the last 13 years, Busch has been married to his wife, Julie. He calls her the “love of his life.” The two still try to have date nights as much as possible. Julie is also there for his appointments at Nebraska Medicine's Huntington’s Disease Clinic - the only one in the area that focuses on managing the patient’s symptoms.
    To schedule an appointment or learn more about the Huntington's Disease Clinic at Nebraska Medicine, call (877) 647-7497.

    Thank you Greg for allowing us to have a glimpse of what it's like, and to the entire medical team working at the center for promoting and encouraging special care to neurodegenerative conditions like Huntington's disease. Hope Mr. Busch is doing well.

    I'm such an asshole having this disease! I lash out at my wife, mother... and i'm always angry, always depressed and full of negative energy! I hate the disease and I sit at home collecting social security which isn't enough to pay rent, bills, and all the other bullshit in life. I don't have severe twitches yet, but my mind is full of anxiety and my nerves are always on edge.

      I was diagnosed with Huntington's disease in 2018 and I have tried everything I could to heal myself, but it was all to no avail, until I saw a post on a health forum this herbalist through his email and he prepared me a herbal cure for Huntington's disease and sent it to me via the delivery service of UPS from the company, when I received this herbal cure. They gave me step by step instructions on how to apply it, when I applied it according to the instructions I was totally cured of this disease within 5 months of use, I am now Huntington's disease free, all thanks to Dr. Timothy You can also contact this great herbalist for help by email: timothydouglas3612@gmail.com or contact Dr. Timothy through his whatsapp number: +1(239) 977-4390 He is also specialize in treating all kinds of diseases, VIRUS HERPES , HEPATITIS B, CANCER, BRAIN DISEASE, INFERTILITY, DIABETES EPILEPSY AND MORE .....

      There is no cure. I'm reporting this for being spam.
