Autoimmune pathologies can affect not only the internal organs, but also the neuromuscular apparatus. One of such diseases is asthenic bulbar paralysis or myasthenia gravis. Treatment and prognosis for this violation are still being investigated and improved, as the exact cause of the development of the disease has not yet been revealed. But the latest advances in medicine make it possible to achieve remission of this chronic illness in most cases.
Treatment of myasthenia gravis folk remedies
Neuropathologists categorically prohibit monotherapy of asthenic bulbar paralysis with non-traditional medications. Phytopreparations and any folk remedies are allowed to be used only as a supportive treatment and prevention of pathology.
The easiest way to prevent relapse of myasthenia gravis is to add the following foods to the diet:
- black currant;
- cabbage;
- radish;
- dog-rose fruit;
- citrus fruits;
- Bulgarian pepper;
- dried fruits;
- bananas;
- baked potato.
The recipe for oat broth
Ingredients:
- water - 550 ml;
- oatmeal - 1 glass;
- honey - 1 tsp.
Preparation and use
Soak the oats in water for 45 minutes, insist another hour. Drink 4 times a day the remedy before meals (for half an hour), adding honey.
Preparations for the treatment of myasthenia gravis
The classical approach in the therapy of bulbar asthenic paralysis involves the administration of anticholinesterase (AChE) medications:
- Proserin;
- Kalimin;
- Mestinon;
- Amiridin.
Simultaneously with AChE drugs, potassium preparations are prescribed, since they prolong the action of the main medicines.
If the basic therapy is ineffective, addition of corticosteroid hormones or immunosuppressive agents is recommended in addition.
Recently, new directions have been developed in the treatment of myasthenia gravis, involving the artificial purification of blood plasma from antibodies produced by the immune system:
- plasmapheresis ;
- cryoapheresis;
- cascade filtration of plasma.
Thanks to even short courses of such therapy, the patient's condition improves significantly, and relapses of the pathology in question do not occur 6-12 months.
Prognosis of recovery in myasthenia gravis
This disease is progressive and chronic, so it can not be completely cured.
Prolonged and correctly formulated treatment allows to achieve stable remission, to get rid of the symptoms and complications of myasthenia gravis.
