Initially take 15 mg of manganese with each meal, best as chelated manganese. If manganese sulfate is used, dissolve 25 g in 500 ml of water. One ml of this contains 12 mg in the case of hydrated manganese sulfate and 18 mg with water-free manganese sulfate.

After sufficient improvement gradually reduce and eventually stop manganese supplementation, but use it again if there is a relapse. With slow-responding conditions, such as after a thymectomy, reduce the dose after one month to 15 mg of manganese with one meal only in order to avoid deficiencies in other trace minerals from developing.

With meals or 3 times daily take a high-potency multi-vitamin-mineral tablet; additionally 400 IU of natural vitamin E as water-soluble d-alpha tocopheryl succinate, not as oil-filled capsules.

Experiment with additional vitamin C, up to 10 g daily in divided doses, partly as calcium ascorbate, the rest as sodium ascorbate.

Initially weekly vitamin B12 injections (1000mcg) may be beneficial, alternatively or subsequently absorb a 500-mcg vitamin B12 tablet under the tongue once a day. Mix a teaspoon of lecithin granules with each meal as a source of acetylcholine.

Another beneficial supplement is vitamin A. Use 10 or 20,000 IU as liquid emulsified vitamin A once a day. This is especially important if the thymus has been surgically removed, but also with fat malabsorption and signs of vitamin A deficiency, such as night blindness, poor dark adaptation and longitudinal ridges of the fingernails. In this case continue with vitamin A for a long time. However, watch out for signs of overdose, in particular headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, joint pain, dry lips, scaly and dry skin and excessive hair loss. For this purpose beta-carotene is not a suitable substitute for vitamin A.

After thymus removal take 3 to 6 capsules of freeze-dried thymus daily, preferably keep each opened capsule in the mouth to absorb partly under the tongue, also use it temporarily if the thymus has been severely damaged by X-ray treatments.

Licorice root should be beneficial in all conditions to activate the adrenal glands. Take one capsule with each meal. However, do not use it with high blood pressure. With indications of severe adrenal weakness also freeze-dried adrenals may be beneficial, absorb under the tongue.

If the digestion is weak, use digestive enzymes and possibly hydrochloric acid tablets with cooked protein meals. Glycine is an important amino acid for muscle functions, up to a tablespoon has been used with meals; however, it may not be required with an ample intake of gelatin as from boiled fish heads.

To normalize the intestinal tract, have cultures of acidophilus and bifido bacteria as high-potency capsules. Initially take 2 or 3 capsules before each meal, after sufficient improvement, reduce that to one per meal and later one per day.

Other recommended supplements to improve vitality and wellbeing in general are coenzyme Q10, freeze-dried liver, bee pollen, spirulina, ginseng and MSM. If fresh wheat or barley grass juice is not used then take commercial dried barley grass juice.

Increase supplement dosages only gradually and with self-observation, the recommended maximum amounts may be too much for you. After recovery gradually reduce supplement intake, but continue with the full amount of multi-vitamin-mineral tablets. The mentioned natural food concentrates may be used liberally and indefinitely.

ADDITIONAL THERAPY

Avoid stress, emotional upsets, hot baths, hot showers and hot food, have plenty of rest. Before performing a difficult task, close your eyes and vividly imagine performing that task with ease. Then open your eyes and do it. As much as possible be outside in natural surroundings. Have frequent short expose of your unprotected skin to mild sunlight.

After thymectomy try to re-grow sufficient functional tissue from any still existing pockets of thymus cells. You may have acupuncture or use a magnetic pulser over the thymus area and experiment with the following methods.

Dissolve some chelated manganese in water, together with some MSM or aloe vera, and rub it into the hollow above the breastbone or sternum and along its upper sides. Frequently tap the top of the breastbone over the thymus with the fingers and tap the vertebrae at the base of the neck. Strongly press into any tender point along the upper sides of the sternum and into the sternum itself between the first and second rib. Also press strongly into any tender thymus reflex around the ball of each big toe and thumb. You may need a helper to do this.

Use guided imagery: see or feel a brilliant white or golden healing light enter the top of your head, flow through your muscles and organs, strengthening and invigorating them. Fill the thymus with this light; see or feel small pockets of remaining thymus tissue re-growing to form a healthy thymus. Look up an anatomical atlas for the location and appearance of a normal thymus. Do these exercises daily for about an hour, preferably combined with warm castor oil packs over the thymus area.

Warm castor oil packs over the liver and abdomen, thymus and eyes are beneficial by increasing blood circulation and strengthening the treated area. They are especially effective over the eyes for improving double vision. Use a woolen cloth moistened with castor oil and keep it warm for 1 - 2 hours with a hot water bottle. Repeat as often as required.

If improvement is rather slow, as after thymectomy and in very advanced conditions, use additional therapies, such as acupuncture, liver cleanse, and herbal parasite cure. Have your teeth checked by a holistic dentist. Any dead teeth, as with root canal fillings, should be removed. Replace mercury amalgam fillings with plastic composite and check for osteitis in the jawbone.Be especially mindful of the teeth in the upper 5 positions, which in acupuncture are related to the thymus. Preferably have no metal in the mouth but definitely not two different kinds of metal. Pure gold is least harmful, but commonly in dentistry a cheaper alloy containing palladium is being used.

In all conditions it is essential to use extensive intestinal sanitation and antimicrobial therapy as shown in Candida and the Antibiotic Syndrome. If the thymus has been removed also additional selenium is important to strengthen the immune system, up to 200 mcg daily.

Conclusion

It seems that MG has a tendency to reappear in stressful situations, especially in combination with an unbalanced or unsuitable diet and chemical exposure, which may include medical drugs. Therefore, if your recovery is slow or difficult and also to minimize the possibility of a relapse, make sure that you have corrected all conditions that might weaken your immune system and your adrenal glands. To do this

• Check for and eliminate hidden food allergies and chemical sensitivities.
• Use suitable supplements to correct any vitamin and mineral deficiencies and to support the adrenal glands and the immune system.
• Eliminate parasites, Candida and other microbes by using a herbal parasite cure based on wormwood, and investigate using colloidal silver, oxygen therapy and an electronic zapper.
• Sanitize your intestinal tract with acidophilus & bifido cultures and suitable laxative food (e.g. ground linseed and psyllium hulls in plenty of water).
• Sanitize your teeth by removing mercury amalgam fillings, any dead teeth and different types of metal in the mouth.
• Sanitize your bedroom by unplugging electric cords close to the bed while sleeping; minimize electromagnetic pollution and radiation in home and workplace.
• Maintain a high-quality nutrition with plenty of fresh vegetable and grass juice and minimize the use of any processed food.
• Maintain a relaxed lifestyle, practice relaxation exercises and learn to meditate.
• If there is a relapse, adopt again a strict MG program.
