WHY I DIDN'T LOVE THIS BLOG ENTRY
--------------------------------------------------------------

Ms. Stagliano:  No approved treatment.
sheldon101:  Wrong www.mongabay.com/health/medications/Riluzole.html

Ms. Stagliano:  There's a vest and a machine needed to help breathing and they cost a lot and insurance covers only a little.   He wanted insurance to pay for his alternative treatments.
sheldon101:  The vest is better than tapping the chest. Many programs include BI-PAP or help those with ALS obtain a BI-PAP , http://www.alsforums.com/forum/tips-tricks-gadgets/9732-bipap-information.html    Without a "we'll cover crazy stuff" clause, the insurance company was correct.

Ms. Stagliano:   "Jim died just as the disease was overtaking the slowdown the alternative treatments had offered."
sheldon101:  Anything, including reading this blog, may appear effective.  However, most people know that correlation ( progression slows after reading Ms. Stagliano) isn't evidence of causation (reading Ms. Stagliano slows ALS). 

Ms. Stagliano:  "You did the right thing, my friend. You died quickly. If only that weren't the only option in America."
sheldon101:  It's not America, it's the disease. Unlimited funds wouldn't change the course of the disease. It just puts more money in the pockets of Big Alternative.
