Thanks for your post. I used work for a genetic charity and we frequently stated that Hundingdon's disease was incurable. In fact we often cited it as example of how a particular genetics lead to a particular result. However, over-time I have come across evidence that it may be treatable, especially if treated in the early stages.
Dr Abram Hoffer (a Canadian medical doctor), who has done most of his work round schizophrenia sets out to treat it primarily with Vitamin E. I think he also often uses high doses of Vitamin B3.
If I recall correctly he recounts one case in his book: "
Putting It All Together: The New Orthomolecular Nutrition
Available from Amazon.
If you haven't heard of him Dr Abram Hoffer is the leading light behind meganutrient or Orthomolecular medicine. (Orthomolecular medicine was a name given it by Chemistry & Peace Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling).
Another, more recent, line of enquiry is possibility that eicosapenaenoic acid (EPA) which is found in fish oil could help. Ethyl eicosapenaenoic acid (for your information, when you are reading scientific studies) is a chemical extract that seems to work in a very similar way to eicosapenaenoic acid, though it is chemically slightly different.
typing huntingdon's EPA into Google gives you a good range of results.
Warning: because it's a rare condition doctors (especially GPs) are highly, highly unlikely to be up-to-date with the research.
It would be good to hear how you get on. Do keep these boards posted.
If it can be shown that Huntingdon's is reversible with nutrients then it will be important for those affected by the condition and also ALL the other people who assume genetic equals inevitable. It's time that perception was changed!
Good luck with your search.]
Best wishes,
