Melatonin has been shown to enhance the full spectrum of the sleep cycle, including the deep cycles needed for the restoration of myelin sheath on neurons.

It is also known to induce apoptosis (cell death) of certain cancer cells.

Both cancer and CIDP share a common problem of an underlying systemic inflammation. It may be acting to reduce systemic inflammation as well, although this is a leap of logic but certainly a testable hypothesis for researchers.

It is a safe substance, even for healthy individuals, and it certainly does not cause

kidney damage like the standard immunoglobulin drug being used for CIDP.

I am not saying to avoid standard medical treatment, however, I suspect their are

natural substances that could be of huge importance to the management of this

cruel disorder.

What is Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy?

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder characterized by progressive weakness and impaired sensory function due to damage to the myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers. It is believed to be an autoimmune condition, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves. Symptoms often include muscle weakness, numbness, and fatigue, and they can vary in severity. Treatment typically involves immunotherapy, such as corticosteroids or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), to reduce inflammation and improve nerve function.


How does igg help cidp?

IgG therapy is thought to help CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy) by reducing inflammation in the peripheral nerves and modifying the immune response. It can help to stabilize the condition and improve nerve function in some patients with CIDP.


What are the demographics of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneruopathy?

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) can affect individuals of any age, but it's more commonly diagnosed in adults, with a peak incidence between 40-60 years old. Both men and women are affected, although CIDP is slightly more prevalent in men. There is no specific racial or ethnic predilection for CIDP.

Is Refrigerator Perry still living?

Yes. Perry was hospitalized in April, 2009 for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, a disease that affects the nervous system and is a result of being afflicted with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a disease where the immune system attacks the nerves causing weakness and numbness in the arms and legs. Perry was hospitalized for about 5 weeks and left the hospital to receive rehabilation at an undisclosed location.
