A great project which attempts to consider many of the possible things that people with a terrible illness think of trying to fix it is ALS Untangled, http://http://alsuntangled.com http://http://alsuntangled.com A group of experts on ALS (aka Motor Neurone Disease or MND) evaluates various alternative therapies for the condition, considering factors including scientific plausibility, risks, etc. Some of the proposed treatments are totally implausible, like injecting something into a place where there's no reason to expect it would have any effect. Others are obviously scams. Others are conceived and sold by well-meaning people who make sick people feel some hope thanks to a positive and helpful demeanor, but who unfortunately don't have anything medically useful to offer.
