Calming Guillain-Barré

About the Book

The road to recovery in Guillain-Barre’ Syndrome is full of uncertainty and passive, stressful waiting. Breaking news in GBS-related research is presented along with scientific evidence for and against the effectiveness of conventional treatments. Natural ways to fight GBS with anti-inflammatory foods, supplements and Breath Work have the potential to dramatically improve recovery outcome. Based upon the most up-to-date information, the author has compiled a list of “Superfoods” to be used for meal planning. Although this book is not intended to be a cookbook, some easy to prepare “Super-Mood-Food” recipes are given to simplify meal planning. These recipes are categorized according to food “moods”, not as breakfast, lunch or dinner. Another focus of this book is stress reduction through the practice of Breath Work. Results of many scientific studies show that stress increases inflammatory biomarkers and that controlled deep breathing decreases inflammation. Several simple Breath Work exercises are included to allow the GBS recoverer to practice in the comfort of his or her home. Improved sleep and mood may also be experienced in a short period of time with regular practice. Once the benefits of implementing a highly antioxidant diet and routine Breath Work are realized, it is anticipated that these lifestyle changes may become permanent, leading to a life of vitality and longevity.
