Ya, someone brought this website to my attention - it looks to be a complete waste of money and shame, shame, shame on them for thinking PALS or their loved ones might fork over this kind of money.
I’m a firm believer in positive thinking, and I know it helps sufferers of some disease. Case in point, my Uncle was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in the early 80’s and told he had six months to live. He sold EVERYTHING but their house, including their time share in florida. They travelled the world and kept positive. When they came home from their extended vacation he went to the doctor and the tumour was completely gone - no traces of it. The doctor said he was the first person in Canada to his knowledge that recovered like that.
Was their a miracle involved? Perhaps, but I don't think so, just very lucky and chances are, whatever started the tumour growing decided to turn itself off. But who really knows.
What didn't happen was a miracle cure, life saving book or anything like that. However, if my uncle or someone he knew was a sheister I'm sure he would have used my uncle's name to push a miracle and sell something, anything.
Luckily there's no one like that in my family.
Sometimes positive thinking can help, but this is something that comes from within, not from spending $997.
The more I read about these types of websites and what not, the more I like the advice that some of our members gave another member when she learned of a potential ALS diagnosis. STAY OFF THE NET!
