Infuse Your Water. Choose a mix of herbs and use about five or six stalks or leaves in a large six-cup water pitcher. I like to use basil, mint, lavender, and lemon peel most of the time. For more savory flavors, go with oregano, sage, thyme, and rosemary and perhaps add a lemon slice to round out the taste. Experiment with using different herbs and see which ones you like. Place the herbs either in an infuser or just into the water pitcher and let them soak at least eight hours. Enjoy for two or three days for a flavor-rich, low-cost, highly nutritious beverage. I love serving mine over ice, but you could easily warm this up to make a tea as well.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Overview. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (a-my-o-TROE-fik LAT-ur-ul skluh-ROE-sis), or ALS, is a progressive nervous system (neurological) disease that destroys nerve cells and causes disability. ALS is often called Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famous baseball player who was diagnosed with it. ALS is a type of motor neuron disease in which nerve cells gradually break down and die. Doctors usually don't know why ALS occurs. Some cases are inherited.
