Searching for ALS and MND Information Online?

Experience has shown that there are many individuals ready, willing, and actively taking advantage of people searching for information about ALS and MND. These individuals are shameless in their pursuits and often use spam e-mail tactics, or worse yet, false claims, promises of miracle cures, misleading leading information and fear tactics in order to profit from your situation.

Protect yourself, read the Scam Watch to ensure you're aware of how people might take advantage of your situation.

Have something to add to our information about potential scams? Do you have a personal story to share? Please feel free to share it with us through our publicly available support groups. Working together we can make the Internet a safer place for people affected by ALS/MND.

Sponsorship and Thank You's

A very special thank you goes out to Al Pettit (ALS forum moderator supreme). Without Al Pettit's hardwork, kind nature, and thorough knowledge of ALS, this website would not be as important, or as helpful.

A special thank you also goes to our web technology sponsor. ALSforums.com benefits from non profit Web site design, web development and web maintenance by the kind folks at Intrigue Design, located in Toronto, Ontario. Without the generosity and sponsorship of Intrigue as well as the sponsored hosting, this P'ALS community would not be possible.

Most importantly, a very big thank you to all of our heroic members and daily visitors - if only we could have met on different terms - keep up the fight!
