Herbal Remedies for MOG Antibody Disease

MOG Antibody Disease is an autoimmune neurological disorder which is characterized by the inflammation of the optic nerves and/or the inflammation of a section of the spinal cord and the brain. In this condition, the immune dysfunction targets the Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) which is a protein located on the outermost myelin sheaths of the nerve cells. The condition can be effectively managed in a natural manner, with the help of some beneficial herbal products available from Planet Ayurveda herbal manufacturing company.

MOG ANTIBODY DISEASE: OVERVIEW

MOG Antibody Disease is an idiopathic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, which includes the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord. It is a neuro-inflammatory condition associated with an atypical immune system response to the MOG (Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein).

MOG Antibody Disease

In this condition, the antibodies – proteins that circulate in the blood stream and are a part of the body’s immune system – target the MOG which is found on the outer membrane of the ‘Myelin’ fatty protein that insulates and protects the nerve cells, and enables speedy transmission of messages from the brain to the different parts of the body. The antibodies to MOG damage the myelin sheath, and hamper the message-transmission process along the nerve. Due to the damage to the myelin sheath (demyelination), patients suffering from MOG Antibody Disease can experience neurological symptoms (related to the brain and the nervous system).

In most cases, MOG Antibody Disease is linked to Optic Neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerves), Transverse Myelitis (inflammation of a portion of the spinal cord), and/or Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (inflammatory condition that affects the brain). The course of the disease can be monophasic (one-time occurrence) or relapsing.

MOG Antibody Disease can affect individuals of all ages. However, the disease usually starts affecting individuals during the early- to mid-30s. The risk of developing the disease is slightly higher for women as compared to men.

MOG ANTIBODY DISEASE: CAUSES

The exact cause behind the occurrence of MOG Antibody Disease is not known. Nonetheless, it is apparent that the disease is linked to an abnormal immune system response to MOG protein and, thus, affects the central nervous system. It is also believed that disorders associated with MOG are typically non-familial disorders.

MOG ANTIBODY DISEASE: SYMPTOMS

The symptoms of MOG Antibody Disease can range between mild and severe, depending on the extent of demyelination and the parts of the brain affected by the condition.

Based on the inflammation of the optic nerves, the spinal cord or the brain, some of the symptoms of MOG Antibody Disease are:

  • Blurred vision
  • Pain while moving the eyes
  • Loss of color vision
  • Complete vision loss (in rare cases)
  • Pain in the back
  • Weakness in the legs
  • Weakness in the arms
  • Bladder/bowel problems
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Unsteadiness
  • Lethargy or extreme tiredness

MOG ANTIBODY DISEASE: TREATMENT

The treatment of MOG Antibody Disease is aimed at controlling the recurrence of the disease or preventing its relapse in future. The common treatment options for the disease include oral steroids, oral immunosuppressants, Plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs), and Intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP).

MOG Antibody Disease can also be managed naturally by with the help of Ayurvedic formulations which can effectively relieve the symptoms of the disease. Planet Ayurveda offers the following herbal products for natural management of the disease:
