Is STS Treatment a Viable Treatment for Duchenne?
By Misty on May 3, 2010 in STS Treatment
I found out about Dr. Donald Rhodes and his STS treatment machines back in November at the same time I was writing my book “In Your Face” Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy All Pain All GLORY. Although skeptical I decided to call Dr. Rhodes. I had no idea he himself would be calling me back. I was sure that his nurse or secretary would be calling me. Based on my conversation with him I also reached out to a few leaders in the Duchenne Community, one of which told me the treatment wasn’t viable and the other was holding out until they could talk to Dr. Rhodes themselves.
After my talk with Dr. Rhodes about how the treatment works for Duchenne patients. I called my family immediately, my gut is telling me Luke has to try this STS Treatment especially now that we know about it and knowing it wouldn’t harm Luke in anyway. It isn’t a shot/injection, or anything chemical like a pill or even chemotherapy, the treatment works on cellular circulation through the energy path ways of the body. In my mind a perfect treatment. But since our insurance won’t cover this innovative treatment which has already helped other Duchenne boys I knew I would have to fund-raise to get my Luke the treatment. That is when my family stepped in, they have put together a Raffle, Benefit Dinner & Silent Auction!
Here is a video of a Raffle Booth at the Women Show from April 23, 24, 25 2010, indoor football team the “Predators” did a push-up contest, losers had to buy raffle tickets. It was such fun! I am completely honored and humbled beyond measure. I am overflowing with energy and emotion, especially after one young boy gave his allowance to help Luke. I am BLOWN AWAY by all the support that is coming in daily! Incredible time we are in! Enjoy the video!
please let us know how the treatment goes!!
You Bet
Misty, my 13 yr old son has DMD and is now in a wheelchair. Since diagnosis 7 yrs ago I have researched for cures daily, watching all of the hopeful therapies, test trials and breakthough’s. I have always had my eye on STS and while I am skeptical, I just know that it will play an important part in the cure. Please keep my email in your distribution list and let me know when you go and what the outcome is.
Hi Chelsea, we leave June 8th. We feel since the treatment won’t hurt Luke and we know about it. That we MUST at least give it a try. It is better than just merely keep on keeping on. It is helping us make hope bigger!
Nice fill someone in on and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you for your information.
