Sea Moss for Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis: Anti-Inflammatory, GluN1 Autoimmunity, Neuroinflammation & Brain Support

Anti-NMDA receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is the most common autoimmune encephalitis, predominantly affecting young women (~80%), driven by IgG autoantibodies against GluN1 (NR1) subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, causing receptor internalization, synaptic glutamate/GABA imbalance, BBB breakdown with CD19+ B-cell/CD138+ plasma cell CSF infiltration, complement C1q deposition, microglial IL-1beta/TNF-alpha/IL-6 neuroinflammation, and NMDAR hypofunction in GABAergic interneurons. Sea moss fucoidan modulates complement C1q/C3 and NF-kB neuroinflammatory cascades; selenium supports neuronal GPx1/GPx4 antioxidant defense and selenoprotein P BBB transport; omega-3 DHA supports synaptic membrane fluidity and resolvin D1/E1 neuroinflammation resolution; zinc supports NMDAR-associated postsynaptic density scaffolding and FOXP3+ Treg. First-line: IVIG, plasmapheresis, corticosteroids; second-line: rituximab, cyclophosphamide; tumor removal for paraneoplastic.
