Snake Oil Salesmen?
Just goes to show they are alive and well today. They will sell anything from seaweed to magical potion injections.
Might as well visit a witch doctor too while you are at it.
Throw dem bones, cast that spell, make me well as hell.
Oh but first SHOW ME THE MONEY.
Just my opinion, I have ALS and I want to know the FACTS......Not false hope, miracle cure, pie in the sky. I know I am dying and I am getting ready for it the only way I know how to, by praying and trusting God. I take the medicine my Neurologist and other doctors recommends, Rilutek, B-12 shots for energy(Works a little), Valium, and Lortab for pain when I have it. My doctors have said their goal is to make me as comfortable as possible, that is all they can do while I slowly die.
I know and respect that others have different beliefs. You walk your way and I'll walk mine and I'll give you the right and space to do what you feel is right. Please do some more research before you jump into these schemes. There are plenty of places on the internet that will tell you what has happened to some of these people who have tried these miracle cures. Most are dead now and all have less money. Don't believe me do a search here for different treatments and see the results for yourself.
Saying all that, I feel so sorry for people who are being ripped off on false hope and false cures just for $$$$$$$$$ That money could be better spent on real research.
Think of the future when your loved one is gone, like me for example, my wife will have no income. 60 years old and bills everywhere and no income. The only income will be Social Security survivor benefits which are a joke. They will not even buy groceries. So if my wife spent one dollar on some false hope cure when there is NONE, I would be greatly upset. Because I love her and I am seriously concerned about how she will live after I am gone and the income is gone also. How will she survive?
This is just one of the reasons I get so upset when I see people not being honest about these treatments, and promises of a cure. It hurts to see other people hurt. Even having said all that, it's your money, and I support the right for you to do whatever you think is best in your situation.
BUT, THERE IS NO CURE, YET.........
God Bless you and your loved ones,
