[quote=Anonymous]I am not an expert but here’s my armchair analysis based on the limited reading I have done. Pharmaceutical companies know this is a huge area where they can make a ton of money so they have invested a lot of dollars in treatments. None have been stand out and many have been questioned. Because there are no treatments the FDA and because the drug companies need these drugs to go on the market to recoup their investment, FDA has been pressed and lobbied to approve things even with limited indications of efficacy. My understanding is the drugs available now may slow the progression but they will not improve your loved ones condition. Personally I am skeptical of these drugs. I think doctors believe they are unlikely to cause harm so why not try them.[/quote]
