MEDICAL INFORMATION: DUSCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY " Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease passed from one generation to the next in an X-linked recessive fashion. This means that females carry the defective gene that causes the disorder, but males almost exclusively are affected by the disease. When a mother carries the defective gene, her female children each have a 50 percent chance of carrying the gene also, but they, too, will not show any symptoms. However, each male child has a 50 percent chance of having the disease and showing signs of the disorder. Although the disease is present from conception, symptoms do not usually develop until the child is 5 or 6 years old, or perhaps even a year or two later. When one child in the family has already developed the disease, the parents are more able to recognize early signs, and a second son may be identified as being affected when he is 3 or 4 years old. In recent years, scientists funded by the Muscular Dystrophy Association have identified the gene containing defects that cause Duchenne dystrophy, as well as a milder form of the disorder known as Becker muscular dystrophy. This has helped greatly in definitively establishing the diagnosis in boys with the disease, and in being able to tell female relatives whether or not they are carriers, and thus likely to pass the disease on to their offspring. The symptoms result from weakness of the muscles. First, a boy affected with Duchenne muscular dystrophy will have some difficulty in keeping up with other children when running. He'll develop a characteristic " waddling " run (as he becomes weaker) that will also be present when he walks. He'll have difficulty going up steps, and have to first put one foot, then the other foot, on the same step before moving on to the next one. Soon he'll have to pull himself up using the handrail. Over the next few months, he will walk more and more on his tiptoes, and develop a forward curvature of his spine -- a " lordosis. " At this stage, his muscles will look healthy or may even be enlarged -- " pseudohypertrophy. " He'll start to fall more often and be able to rise again only by pulling on objects or by placing his hands on the floor while standing and then lifting his upper body by " climbing " up on his legs with his hands. He'll soon have to get out of a chair in the same way. Inevitably, the weakness progresses until the child can no longer walk and requires the use of a wheelchair. The age at which this happens varies, but most children are between 8 and 10 years old and virtually all use a wheelchair by age 12. Although weakness of the arms is present early, it does not advance as rapidly as in the legs, and causes no real problems until after the boy begins using a wheelchair. The child experiences progressive loss of strength in the shoulders and upper arms until it becomes impossible to lift objects of any weight, and eventually impossible to lift his hands to his mouth. Strength in the fingers and hands is retained, but it, too, eventually decreases and fine movements become limited and clumsy. As the amount of time a child with Duchenne dystrophy uses a wheelchair increases, he develops more curvature of the spine, but now to the side -- " scoliosis " -- as well as to the back. Eventually, his body curves until his ribs may be resting on his hip bones. The affected youngster may also develop tightening of the joints or " contractures " at the hips, knees, ankles, shoulders and elbows, to the point where the legs are bent up against the stomach with the feet pointing down and the arms locked into the sides with elbows bent. With additional weakness of the chest muscles, the youngster will be unable to breathe deeply or cough properly, and even minor colds and chest infections have a high chance of leading to pneumonia. Severe respiratory problems mark the disease's final stages, usually claiming the lives of those affected during their twenties. The heart muscle is affected at times, and some children may die of heart failure. All respiratory infections must be treated vigorously, and should be prevented. These children should receive yearly vaccinations against pneumonia and influenza. They should be kept out of school during cold or influenza epidemics and should be taken to the physician if they develop symptoms. Affected children will still develop marked disability even if all known therapeutic measures are followed, but they will experience much less physical and emotional discomfort as a result of scoliosis or muscle contractures, remain mobile longer, and their lives may be prolonged for several years. Although Duchenne dystrophy is a serious disease, there is little or no pain associated with it. There is no effect on sensations. The bladder, bowels and sexual function develop and continue to function effectively. " PRANIC HEALING TREATMENT: 1. Invocation. 2. Scan and re-scan during the treatment. 3.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Has anybody on the list had success treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy or know of anyone who has? Any referral in and around the Chicago-land area would be great. Thanks. -Steve -- Stephen Bonzak <smb021169 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
