HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause
progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal
genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form
healthy muscle.
There are many different kinds of muscular dystrophy.
Symptoms of the most common variety begin in childhood, primarily in boys.
Other types don't surface until adulthood.
Some people who have muscular dystrophy will
eventually lose the ability to walk. Some may have trouble breathing or
swallowing
Causes-
Certain genes are involved in making proteins that protect muscle fibers from
damage. Muscular dystrophy occurs when one of these genes is defective.
Each form of muscular dystrophy is caused by a genetic
mutation particular to that type of the disease. Many of these mutations are
inherited. But some occur spontaneously in the mother's egg or the developing
embryo and can be passed on to the next generation
Symptoms-
The main sign of muscular dystrophy is progressive
muscle weakness. Specific signs and symptoms begin at different ages and in
different muscle groups, depending on the type of muscular dystrophy
The
day to day activities of the patient is affected. Some of them are-inability to
walk, poor balance, loss of bowel control, drooping eyelids, waddling gait, respiratory
difficulty, limited range of movements, frequent falls, loss of strength in a
muscle or a group of muscles as an adult, low muscle tone (hypotonia), joint
contracture (club foot, claw hand or others), abnormally curved spine
(scoliosis)
Some
types involve heart muscles, causing cardiomyopathy or disturbed heart rhythm
(arrhythmias)
HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES
Homeopathic treatment helps to
slow down the process of muscular degeneration, and can work on bringing some
symptomatic relief, such as improving muscle power. It is aimed at better
quality life.
Homeopathic
medicines are prescribed after the detailed case study consisting of physical,
emotional and genetic make up of an individual. Homeopathic medicines help to
reduce the muscle weakness and control the disease progression. There are some
specific Homeopathic remedies, which help for muscle paralysis and weakness and
which have been found effective in the treatment of Muscular Dystrophy.
