I'm glad you found the info helpfull. However I think you should increase the Co-Q10. This excerpt is from the article.

"In two placebo-controlled, double-blind trials, 100 mg CoQ10 daily resulted in "definitely improved physical performance" in patients with muscular dystrophies and atrophies. "In retrospect," the authors wrote, "a dosage of 100 mg was too low although effective and safe." But even at this low dose, their conclusion was emphatic: "Patients suffering from these muscle dystrophies and the like should be treated with vitamin Q10 indefinitely."

I submit that 300-600 mg/day would be a more effective dose, especially for an older MD child. For most families, the limiting factors will be cost or medical disapproval. Even pricey supplements are cheaper than most drugs. And as there are no harmful side effects with CoQ10, it is inexcusable to NOT give it a serious therapeutic trial.
