I believe his longevity was little to do with any special treatment and more to do with the strain/variety of the disease. My brother in law contracted Motor Neuron, was given 2 years to live, and died after 2.5 years, the last year of which was not really living. Up until then I had never understood that Stephen Hawking was actually in one sense amazingly lucky. RIP, an amazing fellow.
