There is an aquaintance of ours who is convinced that a specific diet high in the right saturated fats will eliminate my hubby's symptoms of ALS. She contacted me several times in the fall to tell me that if we just followed this diet he would literally regrow muscles within three months. But don't tell the docs because a cure would mean they don't get money, so they don't want a cure. I thought I had moved on past this with her, by politely thanking her but indicating that we were comfortable with the doc recommendations at this time.
Today she called me at work! Actually told me that she was concerned because ALS doesn't have to be a death sentence and we shouldn't be sitting around waiting for it to happen. again she repeated that the right diet will result in restoration of atrophied muscles. I now have several links in my email inbox. The complication is that I work with her husband and need to have a cooperative relationship with him. UGH!! How can people not understand that this disease is horrible enough without this kind of 'help'. She wants to come start a dialogue with us about his diet. Triple ugh!
