Certain Weather Conditions

★★★☆☆WORKED TEMPORARILY
A misty/drizzly day will TOTALLY remedy my cold and sweaty hands, but any other weather, hot or cold, and I'm out of luck.
This seems to be in complete contradiction to everything I read concerning cold and sweaty hands and feet. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Does anyone else experience this phenomenon? I've tried everything from magnesium supplementation to iontophoresis and everything in between herbally, etc. No amount of abuse to my body or pampering seems to make a difference except the weather.

If you are really concerned about this, you can get Botox injected in your hands which will stop sweating. Some do it in their underarms.
Vitamin D

Hi Cal, this was certainly enlightening! I started calcium and vitamin D supplementation a couple of days, and since then I asked my husband a few times if its suddenly warm now a days...I used to always feel cold previously. Thanks for this revelation. Other foods that I found increase my body temperature have been coconut oil and caffaine from coffee or tea.

Reply to Cal - Vitamin D to warm up the core. I have the same problem for years. And I also have been to doctors that just shrug me off. Results for thyroid came back clear. At the moment I am wearing a jersey at work whilst my colleagues have the fan on. At night I have to wear socks and even take a hot water bottle to bed. It feels like there is ICE in my body, running thru my veins. I wil try out the vitamin D and let u know if there is a difference.

Hi Shen, did you try the Vit D remedy? Did it work?
Warm the Core

Hi there, I have had the same problem with icy hands and feet. I went to see a doctor who has this high-tech machine (ZYTO bio-communication scanner) that reads your body's energy and figures out what's wrong. It's like something from Startrek! Anyway, it turned out I had a massive Vit D deficiency. I felt dramatically better once I started taking Vit D pills. However the shocking thing is I just went back after a month on 2 x 2000 ius a day, and I STILL have a massive deficiency. So now I'm taking 6 x 2000 ius a day, and we'll see what happens. I read that sometimes the kidneys lose their capacity to metabolize Vit D. I think this could be my problem although I'm not sure... Hope this info helps someone...

Are you taking a multivitamin every day? Do you eat a salad at least once a day? How much exercise are you getting? Try using liquid vitamin D and rub it into your skin as in your arms and your ankles and take 10,000 units a day.
Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse

Cold hands and feet - I cured my cold hands and feet as well as my sinusitis with a Liver and galbladder detox, you can look it up on the internet; apple juice, epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) olive oil and grapefruit-, lemon- or orangejuice). You have to drink 1 liter applejuice a day for 5 days in a row and on the 6th day you do the detox. So actually it is a one day detox. Before you start you have to be sure if you are willing to repeat this cure several times! I did the cure 6 times in a row with 2 weeks in between. Be aware that you can have Herxheimer reaction. I think this detox is very good for over all health! Now I repeat the detox at least once a year. By the way I am a thin person.
