Have had gradual symptoms of neuropathy

Posted By Geno (Eureka, Ca) on 01/26/2014

Hello! I have had gradual symptoms of neuropathy since 1998. The latest have been cold like sensations starting in my feet and are now all over my body including my face/head. I've already had the burning sensations in hands feet and legs.Wwhich have went away except leaving a dull achiness. Which is tolerable as long as I stay away from nightshade foods. DO YOU KNOW OF A CURE? are there supplements that can treat this? I appreciate any feedback. Thank you, Geno

Take 5000 mcg sublingual B12 methylcobalamin every day. This is the most popular cure. Lots of success with this alone. Will know within 2-4 weeks whether it is working.

Take 300 mg B1 benfotiamine in morning and 300 mg B1 benfotiamine in evening for two weeks. Then down to 150 mgs B1 benfotiamine in morning and 150 mg B1 in evening for maintenance. I believe you should know within 2-4 weeks whether it is working.

Try Alpha Lipoic Acid but I think this is really for diabetic neuropathy

I'd start with both the methylcobalamin and benfotiamine

Geno: Put 1 cup spring water, 1/4 organic lemon including the peel, 1tsp. expeller pressed coconut oil, and 1 tsp. flax oil into a blender. Grind up and drink. Do this 4 times per day. This must be done properly because the citrus pectin is required to emulsify the oil. Cut the ends off a large organic banana. Cut into 4 sections including the peel and put into the blender with 1 cup spring water, some organic chili, 1 tsp. raw cocoa powder, 1g colostrum, 1g Hawaiian spirulina, and 1/2g chlorella. Grind up and drink. Do this 8 times per day. Put 1tsp. desiccated Argentinian liver, 1tsp. sunflower lecithin, and 1tsp. non denatured whey isolate into 1 cup spring water and drink. Do this 4 times per day. 3 times per day take 1ml skate liver oil.

HI U GENO, , , , , , , , , , , I learned this from a patient who has neuropathy due to Hepatitis C. She takes Alpha Lipoic Acid daily and also takes It by IV monthly. My problem is due to diabetes and although I take ALC daily, about twice a year I do an I.V. and which keeps my feet free of pain.

A couple of years go or more I suffered from neuropathy badly in my left foot. I did research and also came across ALA but decided not to use it as there is eventually a loss of certain vitamins, as well as the cost.

Since then I have taken high amounts of vit C from the Indian goose berry which is AMLA. I take it daily in powder form, soaked in water with some honey. I also use the same regimen with turmeric. But the AMLA has removed that terrible electric pain to this day. By the way, honey is a good conductor rather than DMSO and is good for diabetes regardless of those voices that cry "sugar". Amla keeps the arteries supple and prevents the damage from diabetes, together with turmeric with hemp oil.

Namaste, Om

I have found 900 to 1200 mg of sustained alpha lipoic acid a life saver for some neuropathy that I was experiencing from 4 herniated discs in my neck and back, along with burning mouth syndrome. I also take A C E Selenium, and Zinc supplement and 15,000 IOUu of vitamin D3. I do alkalize with lemon/baking soda each morning.

Just a note for Becca. If you still have the herniated discs, refer to my posts on Hyaluronic Acid. As people get older, their synovial fluid can become depleted of HA causing herniated disc. It needs to be highly absorb-able kind.

HI U BETSEY, , , , , , , , , , , , , What all need to understand is that I am not a guru. I am just an old dog that has been down lots of dusty trails. I am a polly parrot as I just repeat what I have experienced or what I have read. I have no lab which I have done all these grand and glorious experiments. I have neuropathy because I am a diabetic. I take Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements and do the IV's twice a year. It works for me as I have no foot pain. I just tell all what works for me. Others have solutions that you may want to consider.

What makes me want to cry is that I have an MD within 20 miles who does Naturalpathic things that most of you have no access to. Times are changing as more doctors are disgusted with conventional medicine of only treating symptoms. Hope this gives you a trail to follow. Read and read some more.

Thanks...I will. I do still have the herniated discs but therapy and ALA has made a huge difference. I also had a sudden onset of burning mouth syndrome about 6 months ago when a specialist that I started seeing put me into a hyperthyroid state with a medicinal overdose of thyroid medication and the ALA has been a God send for that as well. I still take a low dose compounded thyroid medication (from a different doctor) but am supplementing thyroid/adrenal builders in hopes of getting off of the prescription meds. I will be ordering blood work in a couple of weeks to check some of my levels to see if my regimen is working. I also have noticed that my blood pressure has dramatically decreased to the point that I only take a BP pill once or twice a week if I feel that I need it and my vision has improved. My hope is that the next time I see my doctor and show her my lab results, I will be medicine free and feeling great! At the moment she has no idea about the regimen that I have researched and put myself on...but she is a great doctor and firmly supports natural healing over prescription when it can be achieved!
