Homeopathy Treatment for Myasthenia gravis

Homeopathy has effective treatment for Myasthenia Gravis. Properly selected homeopathic remedy gives a long term relief from all symptoms of the patient.
The homeopathic medicines are selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis, which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and mental constitution, family history, presenting symptoms, underlying pathology, possible causative factors etc. A miasmatic tendency (predisposition/susceptibility) is also often taken into account for the treatment of chronic conditions.
The focus is not on curing the disease but to cure the person who is sick, to restore the health. If a disease pathology is not very advanced, homeopathy remedies do give a hope for cure but even in incurable cases, the quality of life can be greatly improved with homeopathic medicines.

Homeopathy has shown its efficacy in reducing the frequency of relapses and improving the power and tone of muscles.The role of homeopathy is more as long term control, rather than for acute crisis control.

Disorders that may interfere with therapy: tuberculosis, diabetes, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, renal disease, hypertension, asthma, osteoporosis, obesity

Clinical features

The distribution of muscle weakness often has a characteristic pattern.
The cranial muscles, particularly the lids and extraocular muscles, are often involved early in the course of MG, and diplopia and ptosis are common initial complaints.
Facial weakness produces a “snarling” expression when the patient attempts to smile.
Weakness in chewing is most noticeable after prolonged effort, as in chewing meat.
Speech may have a nasal timbre caused by weakness of the palate or a dysarthric “mushy” quality due to tongue weakness.
Difficulty in swallowing may occur as a result of weakness of the palate, tongue, or pharynx, giving rise to nasal regurgitation or aspiration of liquids or food.
In approximately 85% of patients, the weakness becomes generalized, affecting the limb muscles as well.
If weakness remains restricted to the extra ocular muscles for 3 years, it is likely that it will not become generalized, and these patients are said to have ocular MG.
The limb weakness in MG is often proximal and may be asymmetric.
Despite the muscle weakness, deep tendon reflexes are preserved.
If weakness of respiration becomes so severe as to require respiratory assistance, the patient is said to be in crisis.

Grades of MG:

■ Grade 1: Only ocular disease
■ Grade 2A: Mild generalized weakness
■ Grade 2B: Moderate generalized weakness
■ Grade 3: Severe generalized weakness
■ Grade 4: Myasthenia crisis
