I must say, this has helped me such a lot. I still get the white fingers, but if I put my hands in my pockets, the circulation comes back quickly. Before cayenne, it took forever to get circulation back. I have a feeling, this will be a cumulative process, as I notice other good things coming. I take a full small teaspoon in water every morning, I take mouthfulls of this up until lunchtime. I don't think I will ever stop. Thank you Earth Clinic for your wonderful work in circulating all this information for us.

I have dealt with for 20 plus years and I did get a measure of help with magnesium oil. However, this latest supplement is a major improvement in my Raynaud's and I just had to share with you all! SERRAPEPTASE is a natural enzyme that eats scar tissue and junk in your body...please search and read up on it so you can learn more about it.
I’ve been taking it for about 2 weeks and today I was in 20 degree weather for longer than I am normally because I know I can’t be but I was visiting someone and had to stand outdoors for 15 minutes! I was freezing but my fingers and toes never went white, not even the slightest bit! Wow this worked for me it’s a keeper for sure! My dosage first 2 wks was 2 capsules of 80,000 SUs on an empty stomach in the AM however I’m increasing that to twice a day!
I realize everyone is different but this is working great for me I hope it works for you too!

To give you a little background info, I suffered from really bad Raynaud's and poor circulation especially in my hands and feet. Both would turn extreme bluey purple easily and I was ALWAYS cold even when everyone else was boiling. I tried everything, herbal and medical but to no avail. Fed up of numerous visits to the doctors and paying large sums for useless medication I ventured on my own journey. I ate healthy, the greens, the smoothies, litres of water and hours of exercise but nothing helped.
One day I thought why not add the humble lemon to my water as I was fed up of drinking plain water and thus started drinking lemon water and by God I realised I was getting warm. Change happened so fast I didn't even realise that drinking lemon water regularly cured ALL my circulatory problems and now I am always sooo warm that I have reversed my problem.
Doctors are amazed at my cure and after years of medication, Raynaud's and my bad circulation, I am the warmest person alive!

I take this stack 3 to 4 times per day and it seems to be working. Recently, while defrosting the freezer, my wife and I noticed that despite handling the ice and melted ice water, my fingers did not turn white. No Raynaud's. A definite improvement.
This would indicate to me that at least one possible cause of the Raynaud's is calcification. The Rath-Pauling protocol is for calcification and plaque.
I am also careful to drink no fluoridated water, eat no dairy to avoid the calcium, take no calcium supplements, and take Borax for the boron.
The magnesium and other supplements has also been great for my 73 year old joints, not sore joints, no arthritis.
Just the atherosclerosis which I am working on.

However, hard and/or long workouts 3-4 days in a row sneak up on me and the symptoms return. Also aggravating, I have discovered, is high consumption of tofu, dairy, and daily protein shakes, taking advil, working late on the computer, and Doing what you don't enjoy.
I was reluctant to try yoga for years and never thought about doing acupunture. Now I swear by them. Give them a go and be amazed - and get off that computer by 9pm!

As soon as I started taking 200mcg selenium and 50 mg zinc with a vitamin E source (usually sunflower seeds) and a stress B complex, I immediately stopped having this problem. I have read on various sites on the internet that Selenium and Zinc deficiencies cause problems with the conversion of T4 to T3. Good luck.

I love the Earth Clinic website and after reading about magnesium oil used for something else on the EC site I decided to look into magnesium oil and read it helped people with Raynaud's. I have been using it for the last four days faithfully with the temperature ranging from 20 to 45 degree's here and I have only had one tip of one finger turn white or loose blood!! This is amazing since just last week when my husband dropped me at the door of the supermarket so I would only be exposed to the cold 30 seconds and I would loose the blood (go white) in all 4 fingers on both hands and all toes on both feet.
This is a great improvement in just a few days using the magnesium oil so I am very excited and wanted to share. I knew I had symptoms of low magnesium and have tried other magnesium supplements (oral) before without any improvement, however the oil that I am now using is absorbed through the skin so it is obviously utilized better by the body. Hopfully it will be a lasting improvement...I'll post again if there are any changes!
Thanks for all the great info on EC site!! My favorite :)

Aricepatty from Dayton, Ohio, USA: "I have been suffering from Raynauds now for a couple of years. I have been unsuccessful in finding gloves or shoes that keep my fingers/toes warm enough so that I do not loose circulation and they turn blue/black and white. Of course, the only thing that my specialist recommends is to keep warm! Well that's hard in Ohio! So I avoid, if possible, going out in cold weather, swimming and air conditioning. Are there any remedies that I can try that will help relieve or eliminate this problem or the symptoms? So far, I have tested negative for RA and Lupus, so it appears that my Raynauds is just by itself, thankfully."
Can't guarantee that it will help your Raynauds, but first things first, if you are a smoker - QUIT as of last year! But smoker or not, two vitamins that help the circulation are niacin (one of B complex) and vitamin E. If you have never taken niacin before, be aware that it will cause flushing & tingling and be aware that you should not drinkhot coffee, tea, or hot chocolate within 30 minutes to an hour after taking niacin. This is not an allergic reaction, it is an expected result of taking niacin. My thinking is if you're too low on any of the B vitamins, you should be taking a good Bl00 complex because you are probably low on the others also.

Have you tried dry brush massage? You take a natural bristle brush and massage your skin before a bath. Brush your whole body - ESPECIALLY your hands and feet. This really helped me when diabetes was giving me numb and cold hands and feet - do it til your hands are red and you can see the blood moving under the surface and they feel warm. After I had done this just a few times the numbness went away. Eating virgin coconut oil made the cold hands and feet go away too - when I stop taking the VCO my cold hands and feet come back. The combination is perfect for me. Try it - it can't hurt. Djh/Texas
