Hi Debbie,

Your question regarding muscle wasting is hard for me to answer in an objective manner. Given my prior profession, teaching classical dance, my body worked like a well oiled machine. On Saturdays alone I taught from 9:00 am until 7:00 pm with no breaks and felt fresh and energized when I finished. Since May of 2010 I have been unable to work and I now occupy an alien body that has difficulty even walking without balance problems, sometimes resulting in falls. Although I have extremely poor muscle tone and some atrophy in my right hand I have done hand to hand combat to maintain range of motion and severe atrophy of my right arm.

When diagnosed in February of 2010 I immediately began to educate myself. I stumbled upon Hoosmand's website and have used much of what I learned there to do what I could to prevent atrophy. I follow Hooshmand's protocol of 20 minutes of exercise and twenty minutes of rest from 7:00 am until bed. It has been exhaustive but I believe it is the reason I am not much worse now.

My recent tCDS treatment has enabled me to increase what I am able to do. Since I am very attuned to subtle changes in my body due to a dance background the improvement in my muscle tone to me is of the atomic bomb variety. Although I still cannot do more than twenty minutes of exercise at a time, and I am still quite limited in terms of the types of exercise I do, I push the limit of what I can do during periods of exercise.

So, yes, the tCDS has improved my muscle tone and atrophy.

Hope this helps!
