See book keywords and concepts |  The amount of creatine within cells may be deficient in people with muscular dystrophy. This deficiency may contribute to the weakness and degeneration of muscle tissue seen in this condition. A case reporr described a 9-year old boy with muscular dystrophy who experienced improved muscle performance after creatine supplementation.23 A double-blind trial found that creatine supplementation (10 grams per day for adults, 5 grams per day for children) slightly but significantly improved muscle strength and performance of daily activities in people with varying types of muscular dystrophy. |

He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell's equivalent of a brain. |

In two separate studies, researchers found that patients receiving modest dosages (100 mg) of CoQIO supplements daily exhibited increased endurance and less fatigue after three months. In a medical journal article, researchers described the case of one particular patient, a lawyer, who had muscular dystrophy. He had been told by his neurologist to prepare himself mentally for being confined to a wheelchair within two years. |

Uracil and uridine, among others, were found to be responsible for the specified actions. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These nutrient deficiencies and excesses compound the symptoms of autoimmune diseases (the immune system attacks normal tissues), including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and perhaps muscular dystrophy. Treatment for these conditions is largely palliative, using steroid hormones and immuno-suppressants. When they do help, improvement is temporary and partial.

Not only sugars but also phosphates present in many of our processed foods, especially in the soft drinks, are a major cause of hyperactivity. | | A combination of yeast overgrowth and decreased immune defense may be responsible for a number of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, muscular dystrophy, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Low-Fiber Diet
Fiber is mainly carbohydrates and passes through the gastrointestinal system because it cannot be completely digested. There is much more fiber in plant food than in animal food. Plant fiber can be divided into three different types: cereal fibers, vegetable fibers, and fruit fibers. |

Biochemical evidence of CoQ10 deficiency was found in cardiac and skeletal muscle of animals with hereditary muscular dystrophy.29 In addition, treatment with CoQ10 or its analogues increased survival and improved the performance of dystrophic mice, rabbits, and monkeys, as determined by a reduction of creatinuria, regaining of righting reflex, and weight gain.30-33
Deficiency of CoQ10 has been found in muscle mitochondria of humans with muscular dystrophy. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In a research experiment exploring the causes of the devastating disease muscular dystrophy, Dr. Lipton cloned human muscle cells and removed the nuclei from the cells with all the gene material. Without any genes to control the cell, it did the unexpected. It acted like a normal cell. It couldn't reproduce or repair itself, but it did function—without genes to instruct it on what to do.
What Dr. Lipton discovered is that cells are like computer chips: programmable biological matter. Our genes, our DNA are programs and our cells react not only from within but also from without. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Taurine supplementation may benefit children with Down syndrome and muscular dystrophy. This amino acid is also used in some clinics for breast cancer treatment.
Excessive losses of taurine through the urine can be caused by many metabolic disorders. Cardiac arrhythmias, disorders of platelet formation, intestinal problems, an overgrowth of Candida, physical or emotional stress, a zinc deficiency, and excessive consumption of alcohol are all associated with high urinary losses of taurine. Excessive alcohol consumption also causes the body to lose its ability to utilize taurine properly. | | It is used in the treatment of epilepsy, mental retardation, muscular dystrophy, ulcers, and hypoglycemic coma, a complication of insulin treatment for diabetes. It is a component of folate (folic acid), a B vitamin that helps the body break down amino acids. Because one of its salts is monosodium glutamate (MSG), glutamic acid should be avoided by anyone who is allergic to MSG.
Glutamine
Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid found in the muscles of the body. Because it can readily pass the blood-brain barrier, it is known as brain fuel. | | Conversely, carnitine deficiency may be a contributor to certain types of muscular dystrophy, and it has been shown that these disorders lead to losses of carnitine in the urine. People with such conditions need greater than normal amounts of carnitine.
Carnitine also enhances the effectiveness of the antioxidant vitamins E and C. It works with antioxidants to help slow the aging process by promoting the synthesis of carnitine acetyl-transferase, an enzyme in the mitochondria of brain cells that is vital for the production of cellular energy there. |
