Feedback and new interest abound since the ice bucket challenge ran it's course and made the world aware of ALS. Though most of the money raised will only fill the coffers of traditional study, constricted by the parameters set forth by the FDA and AMA, the word is out and bit by bit the less known and lesser funded concepts will be able to be infiltrated into mainstream research. The fact that virtually nothing has made more than a minor impact on the disease in over eighty years should cement the notion that we need to look elsewhere for treatment and cure.
I'm aware that cures will come out of the woodwork. I'm aware that most of them are bullshit. I'm also aware that none of them have science behind them because scientific study costs money. Its about time the powers that control what is worthy of funding begin to investigate based upon anecdotal evidence, expanding the case studies until the markers become more than incidental, more than coincidental, more than orphan in scope. The fact that people are actually improving should be the first line of offense. Find them all and create an environment from which scientists may forge new methodology for their efforts.
