Hope Now for ALS

Hope Now For ALS (HNFA) is a group of People with ALS (PALS) who are devoted entirely to finding ways to develop and use 21st Century technology to cure a 19th Century disease. Currently, the regulatory authorities in the United States of America are mired in 1962-era 20th Century rules and thinking when it comes to treatment options for ALS. This spills over into the pharmaceutical industry and stifles progress. Consequently, people with ALS die waiting for experimental treatments to slowly crawl through the approval process and some promising drugs are simply shelved because companies run out of money trying to finance multiple long and expensive clinical trials.
