CMTUS shares resources, positive living strategies, practical suggestions, and new treatment paradigms for Charcot Marie Tooth syndrome (CMT). The butterfly is our symbol of HOPE and we believe that C.M.T. means "Can Manage This"! CMT can cause slow degeneration of the nerves in the extremities, thus muscles atrophy due to the loss of stimulation by affected nerves. CMT symptoms are diverse and present in many different ways due to each individual's genetic code. Unique to CMTUS is our experiental sharing; "this is what works for me"; all in an upbeat and positive light. Members develop a positive quality of life, provide affirmation, encouragement, inspiration, HOPE, and empowerment. We share personal discoveries and insights gained from living with CMT as well as acquired medical information. We're here to learn all about the idiosyncratic nature of CMT. Of utmost importance is PROVIDING DIVERSIFIED, ENGAGING, CURRENT RESEARCH NEWS to all. This includes high thoroughput screening, regenerative and nanomedicine, prolotherapy, nerve growth factors, gene silencing, HTS, P2X7,Curcumin and Citicoline supplements, Myostatin, C-Jun nerve repair, microRNAs, Ruboxistaurim use, HSP, FK506, Ascorbic Acid(Vitamin C), Innurex and Hedgehog Protein, Progesterone Antagonists, Dynamin research and neuro-regenerative peptides.
