Guest guest Posted October 5, 2000 Report Share Posted October 5, 2000 Hi all Joi here, I just read an article in cmt international that co enz 10 does work! It says, it helps us breath more easily and recomends 120 mgs a day. Glutamine seems to help me maintain some muscle? I also take Glucosamine for my bad knees. MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane) has a whole list of benefits from Muscle cramps,Arthritis, Tendonitis, Blood circulatioon problems Hormonall problems , Toxicity Tiredness and fatigue. I just startedd about one week ago but my parents up in Oregoon have been on in for a while and all their friends and they swear by it. They would'nt stop callling me until I tried it. I'll let you know, I just started taking it about a week ago. As far as the Glutamine like I've said I'm an ex-bodybuilder and I retained most of my muscle mass, even in my calves. The strenth has greatly diminished can only raise up on my toes if I do them simutaneiously and hold on to something but there still pretty big! Good luck, Joi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Doreen: Lamar here, When I attended a CMTA conference in Florida about 3 years ago, there was a segment on Alternative Therapy. It was presented by an atty. that had CMT. She had experienced remarkable help with Rolfing. It was so convincing that I looked into it with hopes of trying it. Alas, there are no certified practitioners anywhere in my area. In fact the closest I located was about 500 miles away. Impractical for a series of visits that would be weekly or more frequent. Also cranio-sacral therapy was highly recommended. ----- Original Message ----- From: sugrbearft@... egroups Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2000 06:14 PM Subject: [] Alternative Therapies Has anyone used any alternative therapies? I asked my neurologist about any vitamins that might help. He suggested using Co-Enzyme Q and Vitamin E. Are there other supplements that people have found helpful? I've previously used massage therapy and acupuncture with good results, but haven't used it for about a year now. My son is a massage therapist and wants me to try Rolfing before considering surgery. I am open-minded on the subject. I would like to know what the group's experience is. Thanks. Doreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Doreen, I take 1000 IU of Vitamin E daily. In a Gelcap. My Dr. suggested this. I had tried some rolfing years ago, but it hurt too much. Massage is great. Reiki is good for relaxation, too. Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 << Doreen, what is Rolfing? >> I just completed 2 sessions and was very impressed. I have decided to follow through with my surgery after talking with my doctor. My son, the massage therapist, feels that the sessions will probably prepare me for surgery. I will follow through again after surgery. Doreen Here's the description from their web site: http://www.rolf.org/about/index.html ABOUT ROLFING Rolfing® Structural Integration is named after Dr. Ida P. Rolf. She began her inquiry more than fifty years ago, devoting her energy to creating a holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education that organized the whole body in gravity; she eventually named this system Structural Integration. She discovered that she could achieve remarkable changes in posture and structure by manipulating the body's myofascial system. " Rolfing " is the nickname that many clients and practitioners gave this work, and is now a registered service mark in 27 countries. Rolfing structural integration has an unequaled and unprecedented ability to dramatically alter a person's posture and structure. Professional athletes, dancers, children, business people, and people from all walks of life have benefited from Rolfing. People seek Rolfing as a way to ease pain and chronic stress, and improve performance in their professional and daily activities. It's estimated that more than 1 million people have received Rolfing work. Research has demonstrated that Rolfing creates a more efficient use of the muscles, allows the body to conserve energy, and creates more economical and refined patterns of movement. Research also shows that Rolfing significantly reduces chronic stress and changes in the body structure. For example, a study showed that Rolfing significantly reduced the spinal curvature of subjects with lordosis (sway back); it also showed that Rolfing enhances neurological functioning. Read about findings from recent research on the Research on Rolfing page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
