Hi Guys, Well it seems ALS is getting a lot more play on regular TV these days which is a GREAT thing. (If they would get it right that is) One of the characters who is on and off the show (Naomi's boyfriend and everyone's boss) has ALS and they were trying to approve a new treatment quickly without all the red tape required here in the US. The character dropped a cup and in another scene he could not open a jar. He finally admitted secretly to a co-worker that he had ALS and was diagnosed 8 YEARS ago and has been in REMISSION until now. Wow, wish the disease really did go like that. They briefly went over what ALS does and some natural treatments. (that they said so quickly you could'nt even hear what they said) The PALS on the show wanted this drug trial to push though quickly to find a cure. (sure like they are the only ones with any ideas and they would be able to quickly find a miracle cure).....sigh....Well I hope they get it right in the future and at the very least they bring more awareness out there about ALS! Its on Thursdays on ABC. Hugs to ALL....Kari
