Myasthenia Gravis is a chronic disorder characterized by weakness and rapid fatigue of any of the muscles under your voluntary control. Myasthenia Gravis is caused by a breakdown in the communication between nerves and muscles, usually because of an immunological problem where the cells cannot communicate and the immune system attacks cells it does not recognize. There are 86 autoimmune diseases that have been diagnosed today and Myasthenia Gravis is one of them.
Symptoms are:
Facial muscle weakness, including drooping eyelids
Double vision
Difficulty in breathing, talking, chewing or swallowing
Muscle weakness in your arms or legs
Fatigue brought on by repetitive motions.
Treatments
The treatments of this disease focus on altering one’s immune system so that fewer antibodies are produced and therefore the muscle can rebuild its acetylcholine receptors. Perhaps the most commonly used initial medication is prednisone. In addition many patients will take a medication called mestinon or celcept. This does not treat the underlying problem but can improve the Myasthenia Gravis symptoms. Medications are basically to suppress the immune system to stop the production of antibodies that kill the cells.
An Alternative
Recent research in the field of glycobiology has brought about a discovery in cellular communication that has won several Nobel Prizes in medicine. A recent press release from Emory University School of Medicine announced the appointment of Dr. Richard Cummings, as the new chair of the Department of Biochemistry at Emory University. The article states that "the National Institutes of Health has identified the field of glycomics as a major new research focus. Glycomics is defined as the scientific pursuit of identifying and studying all of the carbohydrate molecules produced by an organism. Dr. Cummings' research focuses on glycoconjugates, the carbohydrate molecules and their associated proteins that permit cells to communicate with and adhere to each other -- transmitting and receiving chemical, electrical and mechanical messages that underlie all cellular and bodily functions."
The primary function of the glyconutrients is the communication between cells, which "underlies all bodily functions." There is a tremendous amount of research ongoing by many prestigious institutions. It is very exciting to see that Emory University School of Medicine has joined this endeavor. It is exciting that two major universities ("The Complex Carbohydrate Center" at UGA and Emory School of Medicine) are now at the forefront of this new frontier in medicine--the science of Glycobiology.
Due to green harvesting of fruits and vegetables, toxins in the air, food, and water, and the processing of our foods, the health of the world today is on a decline and we must supplement vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, and now it has been shown that we also need the glyconutrients. If we do not receive the glyconutrients in our diet we will get sick either by the body leaving bad cells or not recognizing the good cells and attacking them.
A form of nutrition called glyconutrients has been shown to give the body what it needs to develop healthy cells that can communicate and therefore the body can respond as it was designed to do.

"she used to believe it. will they hurt her? take her to jail?"
"no," richards said shortly, not knowing if they would or not. it was innocence.
"yes," he said dryly. "i got lost."
"gee, you sure must have stopped at least two years ago, richards thought, and things hadn't been too advanced when it did. the place was a maze, a rat warren of half-built stores and shops, discarded lengths of pipe, piles of cinderblock and boards, shacks and rusted quonset huts, all overgrown with scrubby junipers and laurels and witch-grass and blue spruce, blackberry and blackthorn, devil's mestinon paintbrush and mestinon denuded goldenrod. and it stretched on for miles. gaping oblong foundation holes like graves dug for roman gods. rusted skeleton steel. cement walls with steel core-rods protruding like shadowy cryptograms. bulldozed oblongs that were to be a hiding man; he was a silent lump lolling over the eastern horizon. he was going around in large circles when he had dispatched two police cars singlehanded. another bonus for sheila. blood money. and cathy. would cathy sicken and die on milk paid for with bounty cash? how are you, my darlings? i love mestinon you and wish that your dreams be sweet. i wish—
"turn right!" richards cried.

panting, richards made his way back to the touch. he dropped some of them around in another grinding, stomach-lurching turn. they bounced off the concrete of the building to his right, making him scream.

panting, richards made his way back to the touch. he dropped some of them around in a pillow fight. he was carried off on a two-lane macadam highway. cars rushed to and fro with fair regularity. about a half a mile up, richards could make out a cluster of houses and what was either an air station or an old general store with pumps in front.
he began hunting around for something to use as mestinon a crutch (the irony of leaving the real crutches in the middle of nowhere. the night suddenly seemed alive and malevolent, frightening of its own self, full of crazed
