Cayenne in Socks - Diabetics Beware
Posted by John (Panama City, FL) on 01/20/2008
★★★★★
Someone offered this advice to hunters (and anyone else looking to keep their feet warm): sprinkle cayenne in your socks. It DOES work. However, DIABETICS BE WARNED: you should be careful using any topical treatment which provides heat, be it medicinal or homeopathic (this includes cayenne, IcyHot or similar items, electric heating pads, etc.). Because diabetics often suffer from poor circulation and skin issues, using such items can produce burning, and since diabetics often do not heal as quickly, this can become a serious medical issue.

Sudden pain in the leg/s sounds like cramp (?) in which case you would get a quick result by taking Magnesium Chloride LIQUID as per directions on label I.e. you mix it with WATER, which by the way, you could be missing out on, in adequate quantities of, as it is crucial for muscle action!!
Cheers, Michael

You can find homeopathics at Vitacost online. Also you can find a lot of homeopathics at Sprouts grocery stores.

My Dad (Aged 61yrs old)has gone thru By pass surgery for his heart & since after that surgery he is feeling his right leg to be very heavy day by day & not able to move his leg & go out somewhere or else stand properly for a long time. Where as his left leg from which they have taken a vein for the drafting purpose during the surgery feels very relaxed. We have many options to cure it ie both Natural as well as tried other medicines as suggested by the Dr. Bt still he couldn't get any postive results from any of these. So I have came across thru this post werein I can find few postive responses however m not sure about thier exact problem. So could you please Suggest me & brief me more about this therapy. I'l be glad if I can get a positive revert from your end because we can't see our Dad getting depressed due to this reason as a result of which the entire family becomes Sad as he is most Important person in our lives & we LOVE HIM ALOT...SO PLLLZZZZZZ HELP.

Hi Norman: I know it's been some time since your post, but I'm hoping you're still out there and can tell me what your current results are in using the BSM for leg-swelling. I, too, have been informed by my Dr. that the valves in my leg veins no longer work. I've been advised to keep my leg elevated as much as I can.

I'm a victim of sudden pain in my legs, I woke up in the midst of the night crying out with pain, I never had a problem previously, the pain was so sharp shooting from my knee caps all the way through my toes, so I went to the doc and he put me on gabapentin, and that was it, I didn't feel comfortable with his decision as the pain continued on to my other leg and traveling fast, so I am trying two of the remedies, the AV, I just rubbed my legs with the AV as I don't know how to make a compress that would last 20 min? I am going to try the airbrush scrub and then the coconut oil, I just want to thank all of you for your ideas, I shall be back with the outcome within 24 hrs! Thanks again as I tried life script and they were NO HELP, so thanks again.

it is all because of insulin resistance. removed all processed foods, high carbohydrates including all meats because that too raises your insulin.

Sodium bicarbonate and citric acid would just give you a salt.

It sounds like you benefited from the thyroid boosting benefits... You may want to suplement your iodine to keep the benefits permanent.... But I would never give up the coconut oil, its just great stuff..... (you can replace most any oil you use internally or externally with coconut oil and you will get benefits.)

Do you massage this oil on the legs or are you taking it internally?

IHerb also carries some Hylands products, not sure which ones.
