According to the medical
community, there is no known cure for myasthenia gravis, or any autoimmune
disease, for that matter. That is not surprising, given the complexity of
autoimmunity and the approach of conventional medicine to disease treatment.
What is myasthenia gravis?
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic
autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness
and fatigue of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body. This muscular
dysfunctional condition is believed to result from an immune disorder that
causes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to become less effective. Some
muscle groups, such as the eye muscles, the face and throat muscles, and
muscles in the arms and legs, are more commonly and easily affected by this
neurotransmitter.
Essentially, the hallmark of the
disease is muscle weakness, which increases during periods of activity and
improves after periods of rest. Muscle weakness may adversely affect the way of
life, such as vision, (muscles that control eye and eyelid movements), facial
expression (facial muscles), breathing, talking, chewing and swallowing (neck and
throat muscles), and body movements.
Myasthenia gravis is more common
in women younger than 40 and in men older than 60.
Albert Einstein once said: "There are two ways to live: you
can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a
miracle." Believing that you can cure your myasthenia gravis is living
your life as if everything is a miracle. Yes, self-healing of myasthenia gravis
is a miracle of life. Even Western doctors are taught in medical schools that
illnesses are self-limiting—that is to say, we can get better on our own. If
that is the case, then self-healing is not a myth, but a reality—and a miracle
at that.
Therefore, no cure for
autoimmune diseases is a myth, not a reality. However, the cure does not come
from pharmaceutical drugs.
