In my opinion, I'm unaware of any magic pill or physical therapy or diet or nutritional supplement that will quickly (or slowly) repair the damage typically done to the peripheral nervous system by GBS. Time appears the critical component for healing the damage to the myelin sheath. Omega 3 fatty acids & B6-B12 vitamins are essential, but are usually sufficiently present in a normal, healthy well-balanced diet.

The cure is mostly time, and supportive treatment of symptoms.

No.
IVIG and Plasmapheresis are the front line recommendations for treatments.

No, there is no cure for Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I think with it becoming plunged more in the spotlight and more are becoming aware, there is a chance that a cure may be possible!

Treatment with immunoglobulins for a better defense of the body and the respiratory support. Then the nerves are rebuilding themselves. And then physio to regain mobility. Depending on the age the healing may be total or partial.

The inicial symptoms will go away, slowly, but the aftershocks remain forever.
