Myasthenia After a year, the therapy started to become ineffective and the condition deteriorated again. Now vitamin E was added in the form of wheat germ oil. The condition rapidly improved and symptoms of MG disappeared except for occasional mild relapses. However, after 2 years, MG reappeared without relief from the treatment. In 1942, manganese sulfate was added to the therapy. Within 1 week her muscle strength was better than at any time during previous treatments, and all symptoms of MG disappeared. The thymus tumor that had previously been unsuccessfully treated with X-rays disappeared as well. Until her death 10 years later from a heart attack, she had no more symptoms of MG. In another case, a young woman developed rapidly progressing MG after her thyroid had been removed because of hyperthyroidism. Within 2 days of starting manganese therapy, she showed marked improvement. However, in this case it took 2 to 3 years until she was completely well. In the following years she had two relapses, which cleared up each time within a few weeks with manganese therapy. This included shrinking of the enlarged thymus during the initial therapy and the last relapse. Another interesting case was an elderly male who first developed signs of systemic lupus erythematosus and after several years also signs of Parkinson's disease. Many years later MG appeared. Nutritional therapy including manganese soon removed the symptoms of all three diseases. In his summary, Josephson (1961) states that generally, myasthenia cleared up within days to weeks rather than months. At the same time, hyperplasia of the thymus and thymomas "virtually melted away."

Thymus & Manganese

Thymus, Manganese and Myasthenia Gravis a book by Josephson states. However, it is written as a scientific monograph and difficult for most readers to understand. Amazingly, there is no indication that this method has been tested in a clinical trial, despite Josephson having presented it before the American Association for Advancement of Science at the Harvard School of Public Health in 1946. An MG patient was a female golf professional, who took manganese therapy on a raw-food diet, but only gradually. When she started taking manganese, she was back to playing golf within a few weeks. Initially she still had some double vision, which cleared up after one warm castor oil pack over the eyes. Another female patient started immediately with manganese and fully recovered within 2 weeks, except for a slight weakness in one eyelid. It might be added that these patients also benefited from improved nutrition and suitable other supplements. Go to next page of myasthenia diet
