What is Muscle Dystrophy and how to slow down detoriation?
Our current understanding of Muscle Dystrophy indicates that there are two general approaches to the treatment that offer hope. The first approach is to develop the technology for effectively re-introducing the deficient gene, or a functional portion of it, into the dystrophic muscles. However, significant technical hurdles have thus far prevented the development of a suitable gene therapies. It is important, therefore, to develop alternative therapeutic strategies for improved quality of Life. The Ayurvedic treatments are meant to slow the progress of the deterioration by regulating the large contribution of immune cells to the death of dystrophic muscle.
