I have a friend who has a son with MD. He's in a wheelchair now, and I was just wondering if this type of treatment, in addition to slowing the progression of the disease, might even reverse some of the effects.

I believe the article does mention that dogs were able to walk, and that it did improve things on them. I don't believe they are permanent reversals, UNLESS treatments are continued.

I am not a doctor....but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

By the way, I have a friend who I met our freshman year of highschool, almost 30 years ago. We studied martial arts together, I stood up in his wedding, and the last almost 20 years, I've watched him go from 5'11" 180lbs, to being in a wheel chair with arms no bigger than my wrists, and legs no bigger than my arms. All because of MD. So I hope that this treatment is promising.
