Myasthenia gravis is one the many autoimmune diseases,
which, according to contemporary Western medicine, offers no known cure, except
controlling or suppressing its symptoms.
This book is based on the author’s own experience of
battling against his myasthenia gravis: how he stopped all his medications
through a holistic approach to controlling and managing the disease. This book
provides insight and well-researched information that he would like to share
with those who are afflicted with myasthenia gravis or any other autoimmune
disease.
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.” Believe in the miracle of self-healing. Healing comes only from
within, and not from any external source. Every individual should avail every
opportunity to initiate the self-healing process, which is innate in the human
body. Just believing in a miracle cure, however, is not enough; you must also
empower yourself with knowledge and information to overcome myasthenia gravis
through a holistic approach to the wellness of the body, the mind, and the
spirit.
This book covers every aspect of holistic health to cope
with autoimmunity: body detox, diet, lifestyle changes, exercises for muscle
weakness, and mental relaxation techniques for vision problems.
“The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in
the direction of hope. That is why the patient’s hopes are the physician’s
secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription.” (Norman
Cousins) Find your own ingredients in your prescription for a cure of your
myasthenia gravis.
