It would be helpful to find out how to clean the body and bloodstream. Children's bodies adapt quickly, and could benefit from this. If the body is cleansed the child has a chance a being cured. Where if you focus just on drugs you are simply covering up the symptoms and not working on a cure. Hope this helps!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a temporary inflammation of the nerves, causing pain, weakness, and paralysis in the extremities which can progress to the chest and face. It typically occurs after recovery from a viral infection or, in rare cases, following an immunization. It can occur at any age, but is most common between 30 and 50. It resolves completely in more than 9 out of 10 cases. Some people may have mild long-term loss of reflexes in the feet and legs. In some cases, however, the syndrome can affect control of the lungs. The outlook is best if symptoms clear within 15 to 20 days of onset. The causes are not well understood. It may be due to the body's immune system attacking the nerves. The outlying nerves become inflamed and begin to lose their outer layers. About half of the people have a history of a recent minor illness with fever. This could be a cold, flu or sometimes a stomach flu. Guillain-Barre Syndrome has also occurred after surgery, receiving a rabies or swine flu vaccine, certain cancers, and lupus. Muscle weakness usually appears in the legs first. It can extend to the arms and face in 1 to 3 days. There is often loss of the sense of touch at the same time. There may also be numbness or tingling. Stiffness and cramping pain, like a "charley horse", often occur. The syndrome may lead to serious problems like:

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an eponym for a heterogeneous group of immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies. A feature common in all GBS variants is a rapidly evolving polyradiculoneuropathy preceded by a triggering event, most often an infection. (1) GBS generally manifests as a symmetric motor paralysis with or without sensory and autonomic disturbances. Population-based surveys attempting to document the annual incidence of GBS have been conducted in various countries worldwide and generally are in agreement on a rate of 1 to 3 per 100,000 persons annually. (2,3) GBS occurs in all age groups, although rarely in infants, and the incidence varies. From birth to 30 years, the annual incidence is fairly uniform at 1.3 to 1.9 per 100,000. Peaks are noted in late adolescence and young adulthood, as well as in the elderly. The first peak likely correlates with increased risk of cytomegalovirus and Campylobacter jejuni infection. The reason for the peak in the elderly is unknown but is postulated to be caused by failing immune suppressor mechanisms. 2 Another variation in incidence is found in pregnant and postpartum women. According to a Swedish epidemiologic study, (4) the incidence appears to be lower during pregnancy with an increase in the months immediately after delivery.

    Guillain-barre syndrome
    Guillain-Barre (Ghee-yan Bah-ray) Syndrome is an inflammatory condition of the peripheral nerves. Peripheral nerves are found outside the brain and spinal cord. Guillain-Barre is also called acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and Landry's ascending paralysis. The main symptoms are weakness, numbness, tingling, and paralysis. The symptoms usually start in the feet and legs, then arms and face. It can cause paralysis of the breathing muscles of the chest. The symptoms appear quickly over a day and may worsen over 3 to 4 days. In severe cases, it is a medical emergency and the person may need intensive care treatment with a breathing machine. Guillain-Barre syndrome typically occurs after a viral or bacterial infection or, in rare cases, following a vaccination. Most people who get Guillain-Barre have a history of a recent minor illness with fever. This could be a cold, respiratory flu or stomach flu. Recently, Campylobacter, a bacteria found in inadequately cooked food, especially poultry has been a rare cause of Guillain-Barre. The disease can occur at any age, but is most common in adults. It goes away completely in more than 9 out of 10 cases. Some people may have mild long-term loss of reflexes in the feet and legs. The outlook is best if symptoms clear within 15 to 20 days of onset.

In people with GBS, the antibodies generally attack the myelin sheath, or lining of the nerves. They may also attack part of the nerves themselves. What is going on in the body? autoimmune disorder that is triggered by an infection, vaccination, or other factors. It causes a severe inflammatory reaction around the nerves. The myelin sheath becomes swollen. Impulses and messages cannot travel along the course of the nerve. In time, nerve impulses are blocked. What are the causes and risks of the condition?

    What research is being done?

    Where can I get more information?

    After the first clinical manifestations of the disease, the symptoms can progress over the course of hours, days, or weeks. Most people reach the stage of greatest weakness within the first 2 weeks after symptoms appear, and by the third week of the illness 90 percent of all patients are at their weakest. top
    In diseases in which the peripheral nerves' myelin sheaths are injured or degraded, the nerves cannot transmit signals efficiently. That is why the muscles begin to lose their ability to respond to the brain's commands, commands that must be carried through the nerve network. The brain also receives fewer sensory signals from the rest of the body, resulting in an inability to feel textures, heat, pain, and other sensations. Alternately, the brain may receive inappropriate signals that result in tingling, "crawling-skin," or painful sensations. Because the signals to and from the arms and legs must travel the longest distances they are most vulnerable to interruption. Therefore, muscle weakness and tingling sensations usually first appear in the hands and feet and progress upwards.

    The author of this book describes the struggles he faced with this illness and in writing this book hopes to help others and their families learn more about GBS so that they may be better prepared in the care giving of their loved one.
    http://www.gbsnightmare.com
    This site is dedicated to public awareness of the devastating effects of GBS!
    Most of us have nightmares from time to time. Some involve a bad experience from our childhood or perhaps the recollection of a book we've read or movie we've seen. For someone like myself who spent the first 52 years of his life as an independent spirit, doing what he wanted when he wanted most of the time, my worst nightmare would be losing that independence. I was raised in a Christian home, went to church every week, and even attended sixteen years of parochial school. So I certainly knew about God, although I'm not sure I ever truly knew God. At least not like I would come to know Him through the experience I'm about to relate. So imagine my devastation when on May 21, 1999 I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre’ Syndrome. I'll tell you more about the illness itself later. It is a very debilitating attack on the peripheral nervous system. It can strike without warning and leave its victim totally incapacitated. The whole ordeal for me actually began on Thursday, May 20, 1999, and this is that story. Home Page About the Author Contact Us About Guillain-Barre Syndrome ... Order Page

    Guillain Barre Syndrome
    Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system (the part of the nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord). It is the most common cause of acute generalized paralysis and there are about 0.4 to 1.7 cases per 100,000 people each year. It is not known what causes Guillain Barre Syndrome, but it is thought to be mediated by the immune system. The main symptoms of Guillain Barre Syndrome are muscle weakness and a loss of reflexes ( areflexia ), which usually begin about 10 days after a viral infection, such as an upper respiratory tract infection or gastroenteritis. The weakness is symmetric (both sides of the body are affected), begins in the muscles of the legs and then slowly advances upwards toward the trunk and arms over days to weeks (

    CARLOS EDUARDO REIS Medstudents' Homepage
    Campylobacter jejuni infection, hepatitis, infectious mononucleosis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae , vaccination, surgery, lymphoma, or SLE. Which leads the conclusion that it is almost certainly an immune-mediated disorder. GBS during many years was synonymous with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, because initially the pathologic substrate of many cases was shown to be lymphocytic infiltration of the spinal roots and peripheral nerves, with macrophage-mediated demyelination and secondary axonal degeneration. In the other hand, it is known now that a large proportion of cases in the developing world and a small proportion of cases in North America and Europe are Characterized by noninflammatory acute axonal degeneration.
    Clinical Manifestation
    Classically, the disease presents with symmetric leg weakness that spreads to involve other regions of the body in an ascending manner, finally involving the cranial nerves and impeding respiratory function( 25% of the cases ) within 1-3 days from onset of symptoms. The weakness does not ascend in all cases, however. Relatively minor sensory signs and symptoms occur; however, the patient may complain of painful extremities subjective and objective sensory disturbances are common initially, most commonly occurring in a distal( stocking-glove) distribution.
