Diet supplement for MG

 
 
MG is a auto immune disease whchi is believed to be caused by accumulation of toxic substances inside our body. Thus, our body needs internal cleansing. One such cleansing drink Essiac, is a detoxifying herbal anti-aging drink consisting of four herbs: burdock root, sheep’s sorrel, slippery elm, and Indian rhubarb root. In 1922, Canadian nurse Rene Caisse made an herbal drink that completely cured her aunt of an inoperable cancer. Beets and burdock can be a part of daily detoxification diet or drink. You can also grow sprout seeds and make your own my bread and yogurt. Thus, began a diet of high-fiber foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Also made a point to include some raw foods in thr diet. You can include a salad of brown rice, nuts and seeds, fresh vegetables and an apple, with a dressing of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and olive oil, in lunch. An anti-aging lifestyle may significantly improve your autoimmune conditions.
 
Zinc is the most important mineral to  thymus gland. So, you can eat a handful of Brazil nuts everyday, put pumpkin seeds in salad, make broth with potato peels, and add ginger-root and garlic to whatever food you cook. All these foods boost  immune system by strengthening thymus gland. Coenzyme Q10 for myasthenia gravisAutoimmune disease, in particular myasthenia gravis, requires constant supply of energy to body. Coenzyme Q10 is important to energy production. Include sardines, which are rich in this nutrient in diet. In addition, I take a daily supplement of 30 milligrams of Coenzyme Q10, because only fatty fish such as sardines, organ meats, and peanuts contain a small amount of this important nutrient.Glutathione for myasthenia gravisIn order to regenerate immune cells, glutathione, is an important free-radical fighter of myasthenia gravis. For rich sources of glutathione, include cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli in diet - or ate them raw, steamed them, or juiced them. For fruits, take plenty of watermelon in the summer, as well as avocado, both of which are some of the richest sources of glutathione.DHEA for myasthenia gravisDHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is more than an anti-aging nutrient: it is an effective immune hormone to fight against myasthenia gravis. So take good care of it. By the time you reach fifties, your DHEA levels are only half of what they were when you were twenty. Sexual dysfunction, memory loss, and muscle shrinkage are often indicators of a decline of this immune hormone. To find out more about this important hormone, read the very informative book The Youth and Health Hormone.DHEA is always low in individuals with autoimmune conditions, especiallymyasthenia gravis. To supplement the loss of this potent hormone,  begin with a low dose of 5 mg and then gradually increased it to 15 mg. Magnesium for myasthenia gravisMagnesium is a mineral which is used in building bones, manufacturing proteins, releasing energy from muscle storage, and regulating body temperature. In addition, recent research in France and several other European countries have pointed out the critical role of magnesium not only in the transmission of hormones, such as insulin, thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA, among others, but also in the nourishment of neurotransmitters, which affect myasthenia gravis. 
 Eating a variety of foods that contain magnesium is the best way to get an adequate amount. Magnesium-rich foods include bran cereal, shredded wheat, oat bran, almonds and spinach. But magnesium content in foods may be considerably reduced due to depleted soils and fertilizer application. In addition, magnesium is lost in cooking some foods even under the best conditions. To retain magnesium,  cook foods in a minimal amount of water and in the shortest time possible. Furthermore, magnesium in your body may be lost through excessive sweating, having too much calcium, which blocks magnesium absorption, high sodium intake, or even drinking alcohol and coffee.Manganese for myasthenia gravisManganese is an essential mineral found in trace amounts in body tissues. It is essential to several critical enzymes necessary for energy production, bone and blood formation, nerve function and protein metabolism. It is important especially for transmitting nerve impulses. Deficiency of manganese has been linked to myasthenia gravis.Include mustard green and kale in daily salad, as well as in green juice. Of course, daily consumption of organic brown rice also added this essential mineral to diet. Add Bananas, to make doubly sure that I would not be deficient in manganese. blueberries are also rich in manganese, Wheat germ is a rich source of manganese too, and you can sprinkle it on breakfast cereal. Most other important nutrients for myasthenia gravis, such as vitamin A,vitamin B6, vitamin C, and vitamin E, could be readily obtainable from my balance daily vitamine supplements. you may also include a fair amount of almonds daily in your diet.  
Phytonutrients for myasthenia gravisAccording to the American Institute for Cancer Research, phytonutrients have the ability to halt a cell from converting to a cancerous cell. Fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts are rich in phytonutrients, which also benefit to combat against myasthenia gravis. To prevent the formation of free radicals in immune system,  eat fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts daily. To get the maximum benefits from these potent disease-fighting substances, eat them raw - at least in one meal. The Raw Food Diet shows you how to gain awesome health with a raw food diet that you may enjoy with excellent recipes. An occasional raw food diet gives you the best digestive health. In addition, make sure to consume a variety of foods rich in phytonutrients: dark green, yellow, red and orange vegetables and fruits rich in carotenoids; broccoli, onions, peppers as well as apples and grapes, rich in flavonoids. To ensure the proper absorption of the powerful antioxidant lycopene in tomatoes, you my drizzle a little flaxseed oil or cold-pressed olive oil on these fat-soluble carotenoids. Plant sterols and sterolins for myasthenia gravis Plant sterols and sterolins are powerful immune enhancers. As precursors to DHEA, they not only enhance your DHEA levels, but also decrease your stress hormone cortisol. Plant sterols and sterolins are present in raw unprocessed nuts and seeds and their oils. Seeds such as sesame seeds and sunflower seeds, fruits such as figs, apples and oranges, and vegetables such as peas, squash, and potatoes are especially rich in sterol content. These plant fats found in most plant-based foods are your best medicine in maintaining your immune health: they inhibit your immune response and inflammatory process - just like the conventional anti-inflammatory and immune-suppressing drugs - thereby reversing your immune abnormality and correcting its dysfunction. Unfortunately, food processing, freezing, and cooking result in less than five percent of sterols and sterolins being absorbed by you from your food sources. To obtain plant sterols and sterolins, consume raw vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Rrecommondation for the dietary changes for myasthenia gravis and all other autoimmune diseases: Reduce protein intake to 10 percent of total calories; replace animal protein as much as possible with plant protein. Eliminate milk and milk products (substitute other calcium sources). Eat more fruits and vegetables (make sure that they are organically grown). Eliminate polyunsaturated vegetable oils, margarine, vegetable shortening, all partially hydrogenated oils, and all foods (such as deep-fried foods) that might contain trans-fatty acids. Use extra-virgin olive oil as your main fat. Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids. Take ginger (start with one capsule twice a day). Turmeric can also be helpful. Try "Turmeric Force" capsules from New Chapter and follow the dosage directions on the package. In addition, patients with myasthenia gravis are often advised to eat plenty of foods high in potassium, such as oranges, tomatoes, apricots and their juices, bananas and broccoli which, along with adequate rest, can help control the fatigue that often characterizes the disease
