Another new therapy that is helping in muscle control and conditions.
HOpe this one is of some benefit to those that are concerned.
*** Creatine may help muscle therapy
WASHINGTON (AP) - A dietary supplement that athletes use to build
muscle may help patients whose muscles are wasting away from such
diseases as muscular dystrophy, a new study suggests. Taking large
doses of creatine daily seemed to increase the strength of patients'
muscles by about 10%, concludes the small study published Tuesday in
the journal Neurology. Independent scientists urged caution. The
study was too small and too short, lasting only a few weeks, to show
if creatine offers lasting benefit or if high doses for long periods
can cause side effects. Doctors actually tried to treat neuromuscular
diseases with creatine in the 1950s, and it failed, said Dr. Audrey
Penn of the National Institute of Neurological Disease and Stroke.
