Question
I read the quesion/answer regarding the lady with IBM. My father has also been diagnosed with IBM, however it is mostly affecting his lower body (most noticeably the quads which are degenerating). Would we follow the same protocol? It is very difficult for him to get up stairs, out of a chair, and he has also taken quite a few falls recently. Is there anything we can do to slow/stop progression or even stregthen? I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Natalie,

Thank you for writing. I believe i have relayed about 3 different protocols that help IBM in the past, and this is due to the specific needs of the individual.

If you could, please let me know in short which protocol you are referring to, and also how old your father is, and if he is suffering from anything else currently. This way i will be able to give you more details on how to proceed.

If you would prefer to communicate with me directly through email, as it is more convenient, please send me your email address, and make sure that you mark your response as "private" so that your email address is not posted on the public forum. Please check mark the tiny box that says "private message".

Thanks and best wishes,

Imran
