Since I feel sick today, I have been on my computer learning all sorts of things. I found some MG related information and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on these links.

1-The Autoimmune Epidemic by Dpnna Jackson Nakazawa

I reserved this book from the local library and I look forward to reading it. Has anyone read it?

2-Hydrangea root may help immune disorders:

I thought this was an interesting study although I don't know if it can help MG symptoms. Does anyone know of other studies being done to help those with MG?

3-Herbal Supplements-Specifically the Blood Purifier & Immune Stimulant categories in this link.

I am considering trying some herbs and/or vitamins to improve my health. I know this needs to be done carefully and with my doctors knowlege. What I was wondering is, does anyone take herbal supplements or specific vitamins or even eat certain foods that improves your MG symptoms? I know for example that Tea & Coffee help MG when I drink them in small quantities.

4-North American Ephedra - I usually drink tea made from the native Ephedra plant during the Holiday season because I am very allergic to all the chemical "scents" of Christmas and I find that it helps a little (in fact all those chemicals have contributed to me being very sick today - no more shopping for me for a while). Drinking Ephedra (or Mormon Tea) is somewhat of a family tradition that goes back a long time. I am hesitating to drink it this year since I have MG. I am finding information that says Ephedra may help MG but also that it is bad for MG, but most of the information is about the Asian Ephedra that has the chemical Ephedrine in it. American Ephedra does not contain ephedrine, but does have all sorts of good minerals and it makes me feel good. Does anyone know anything about it? If my doctor has nothing against it, I am going to drink some. It tastes similar to Jasmine Tea.

I know that not everyone likes herbal medicine, but I am a big fan, especially when it is in small quantities and not as a daily supplement. Anything can be bad for us when we eat it everyday. Lots of things are good for us when eaten on occasion.

Just so everyone knows, I love plants and am currently studying plants including the food & medical uses of native plants.

I hope everyone is feeling well today.
