His continued high: CPK levels are expected with dmd; , normal values are <200-250. List each ingredient & daily dose of his complementary & alternative. Medicines for all of his treating physicians to avoid drug interactions. Follow research on potentially useful therapies at http://www.Muscular-dystrophy.Org & end duchenne.Org. Daily physical therapy & ongoing pediatric/subspecialty follow-up care are important.

Need check: One of the complication of dmd is heart involvement with cardiomyopathy. Specially with untreated disease. Your son need follow up by a dmd specialized pediatrician.
