Do you have any recommendations for anything that might help my friend with Bulbar ALS symptom management? Resilience Activation

Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is a hallmark symptom of bulbar ALS, affecting up to 85% of patients as the disease progresses. Early signs may be subtle, including a “wet voice” or silent aspiration. As the condition advances, patients may experience difficulty chewing, loss of muscle tone in the lips and tongue, and frequent coughing or choking while eating[5]Respiratory complications are a significant concern in bulbar ALS, often leading to respiratory failure. As the disease progresses, patients experience weakness in both inspiratory and expiratory muscles, resulting in decreased cough effectiveness and difficulty clearing secretions[6]. This is further complicated by the inability to close the glottis due to bulbar dysfunction.
