    A rare disease unknown many decades back humans are experiencing these days!
    Sad it took one more life, Rest In Peace is only we can pray.
    Here are some theories which point finger towards Vaccination too -
    The exact cause of GBS is not known. Researchers don’t know why it strikes some people and not others. It is not contagious or inherited.

    What they do know is that the affected person's immune system begins to attack the body itself. It is thought that, at least in some cases, this immune attack is initiated to fight an infection and that some chemicals on infecting bacteria and viruses resemble those on nerve cells, which, in turn, also become targets of attack. Since the body’s own immune system does the damage, GBS is called an autoimmune disease (“auto” meaning “self”). Normally the immune system uses antibodies (molecules produced in an immune response) and special white blood cells to protect us by attacking infecting microorganisms (bacteria and viruses). In Guillain-Barré syndrome, however, the immune system mistakenly attacks the healthy nerves.

    Most cases usually start a few days or weeks following a respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection. Occasionally surgery will trigger the syndrome. In rare cases vaccinations may increase the risk of GBS. Recently, some countries worldwide reported an increased incidence of GBS following infection with the Zika virus.

    It is all of god's plans.
    God always looks around his garden in heaven
    He finds a shortage of angel there for singing his glory
    So he looks down on earth.
    He puts his arm around the best
    And whisper child it's enough here. I need you in my garden.
    That's all.
    Children are the property of God
    He has the right to take under his possession whenever he needs
    We are no one to ask him
    But it is painful for those who loved him
    We must surrender and bow our heads to his plans.

    Though not a complete cure, plasma therapy helps a lot in the treatment of this condition.I was suggesting a plasma bank in Mangalore as it is very useful in many disorders including Covid.
