Neuromuscular Disorders

Explanation

Included in this category are various conditions associated with muscular wasting, paralysis, numbness, loss of muscular control and coordination such as Myasthenia Gravis, Muscular Dystrophy and other muscular disorders. Pathology includes poor muscle tone, inadequate blood and lymph circulation with resulting sagging of internal organs due to loss of support eventually resulting in constipation, poor urinary control and other complications related thereby.

Considerations

There may be a genetic factor. However, nothing is clear-cut in any disease. Multiple deficiencies contribute to the abnormalities and most of these can be corrected or removed and great improvement may result. Toxic accumulation of metals or residual waste products can be involved, leading to an autoimmune reaction.

Treatment

Muscles are largely protein in their basic structure but other elements such as fatty acids, innumerable activators, enzymes and coenzymes are involved in the chemistry of muscle tissue. Adequate calcium, magnesium and other trace elements as well as the all-important muscle nutrient Vitamin B-complex must be present in adequate amounts in order that harmonious orchestration of strength, coordination and smooth function can result.
