And that's the problem, isn't it? No alternative medicines are really being studied - probably because the drug companies wouldn't make any money.

Any treatment, traditional or "alternative" needs to be looked at on an individual basis though. We can't all do steroids or IVIG or plasmapheresis. Some people can't even do Mestinon. And too many of specific vitamins and minerals can make you worse.

I hope everyone will proceed with caution with any kind of self-medicating or prescribed medications! If you do try something, try it one thing at a time in case you get any adverse reactions or side effects. Then you'll know it's either the new thing or the new thing interacting with something else you are taking.
