I realize this doesn't add anything to the conversation, but as someone whose mom passed away from ALS, I welcome anything that can remotely improve this terrible disease. Watching her go from walking to barely able to lift a glass in six months was devastating and I'd have given much for 33% more able-bodied time with her.

Me too. I almost can't keep it together reading this. 33%!! I do wish it's mechanism was known, hopefully anyway it will open up the door for better treatments.

I feel for you. Just two days ago I learned that an old friend of mine, one whom I haven't seen in many years, has been suffering from ALS recently. I hope to see her soon.
