My husband was recently diagnosed with ALS and I am finding it hard to believe this disease has been around for so long and yet there is still nothing that really helps it. Like cancer and many other diseases I do not believe with all the money, brilliant minds and years involved nothing has been discovered better then the barbaric drug procedures they are pushing on us today! Really? We have gotten involved with the local ALS foundation--they are very nice people--nice is not going to help my husband! It's like they just want to keep a record of how he dies.....how this disease kills him--write it all down and put it in their records. Come on, I realize if any cures were found for ALS, cancer etc our country would go bankrupt, Dr's would be without jobs, hospitals would be in dept with all of that over-priced barbaric equipment but hey, we are talking about a human life. Often times it's babies--how can anyone feel ok with this? My husband is far from a baby or child but he deserves the right to be given a chance to survive this despicable disease! Are we suppose to believe that all they have is a few drugs, mostly drugs that only prolong a horrible death and at a unaffordable cost with side effects worse then the disease itself? Really? Real actual human beings actually push this stuff? Our big pharmas own us--our country--our government and I just cannot stop believing they are the ones calling the shots here. Has money really become that important in our country? aybe my husband is one of the lucky ones and he can finally go home where he can be at peace. :-(
