I found that one person (this was many years ago to) was able to get a combo a vitamins and supplments that put her into remission - Can't post links in replies for some reason so serch google with Myasthenia Gravis and Walter Last.
Excerpt - "This manganese therapy for MG was discovered and tested in the 1940's and 50's in the U.S. by E. K. Josephson (A-albionic Research 1961).
The report of his first MG case with this new method is quite instructive. A 43-year-old female developed the symptoms of MG in 1932. She had intermittent X-ray treatments for thymoma over many years. Drug treatment was started later but gave only a slight transient improvement and after some months she failed to respond completely. Nutritional therapy was started in 1937 with high doses of vitamins A, B, and C, along with a high salt intake because of severe adrenal weakness, and glycine, an amino acid important for the muscles. Within three weeks the patient was much improved. The later substitution of part of the salt with potassium chloride caused acute glaucoma and had to be stopped.
After a year the therapy started to become ineffective and the condition deteriorated again. Now vitamin E was added in the form of wheat germ oil. The condition rapidly improved and symptoms of MG disappeared except for occasional mild relapses. However, after two years MG reappeared without relief from the treatment.
In 1942 manganese sulfate was added to the therapy. Within one week her muscle strength was better than at any time during previous treatments and all symptoms of MG disappeared. The thymus tumor that had previously been unsuccessfully treated with X-rays disappeared as well. Until her death ten years later from a heart attack she had no more symptoms of MG."
