I think with ALS, patients are not expecting a miracle cure for the disease itself, but ways to help control some of the symptoms. Since eating problems are common in PALS, anything we can discover that helps with that specific issue is an improvent in quality of life. If she's eating more, her weight will stabilize, and this is a Very Good Thing in ALS. It will lengthen her survival time.
