Mr. Zhu, a late-stage ALS patient with total muscle paralysis, relies on ventilator support and has only minimal movement in his right index finger, along with long-term stubborn constipation.

After seven weeks of nutritional intervention, his motor function improved in multiple aspects: movement in fingers of both hands and toes of both feet, ability to turn his wrist voluntarily; gradual extension of time off the ventilator; reduction in phlegm and saliva secretion; resolution of constipation from the sixth day, achieving daily autonomous bowel movements; stable overall vital signs, and improvement in mental state, complexion, and physical strength.
