I need to say that you guys are getting into areas that are highly complex and involve multiple body systems. Everything you are suggesting here that is supplement-related depends on a variety of things from a person's individual metabolic rate, to their overall health, what other drugs or supplements they are taking and the doses involved. Not to mention that many of these OTC's are not FDA approved or regulated.

Sure, it's great to discuss things that "might" help our immune systems but this is almost bordering on saying that they will cure MG. It's dangerous territory to give false hope to patients. No, I'm not saying that's what's being done but you don't know who could be reading this and will blindly take supplements without speaking to their doctors.

I'm all for using sensible supplements, seeking out 2nd opinions on alternative therapies, etc. But I hope you guys will realize that MG, and any traditional or alternative treatments, are not a "one size fits anyone" disease.

I'm glad you have found things that work for you, Aries51. It may not work for others and the risk involved for others in "trying" may be too high.
