| There are many reasons for this page. While there is
much information on Muscular Dystrophy on the Internet and
various other places. I wanted to provide a place where
much of that information could be located easily.
Let me make it perfectly clear that I am neither a doctor or any other
type of health care professional. My only
knowledge comes from the fact that I have a form of MD
called Friedrich's Ataxia. I have spent some time
looking for information and possible treatments which I
will share with anyone here.
I invite anyone to share any knowledge they may have
with visitors to this site. Simply email me
If you read as much as I have from the conventional
medical field you tend to lose hope of a treatment or
cure.
My feelings are do as much as you can. I never accept
what the doctors tell me and I do things they say I
can't do. My younger brother never let his condition
stop him as long as he could keep going he did and
attempted things even I didn't consider.

I'm afraid there was no way to make this short as there
is lots of information here. Some may apply to many
people and some only to me. I have to make another point
here...I use homeopathic remedies, some people have a
very difficult time accepting that and if you are one of
the people are unwilling to consider them I would
suggest that you not even read any further.
I asked the homeopath one day who is helping me what
advice I could give people with one of the forms of MD?
His answer was "Get to a good
homeopath as soon as possible"
