I just found this site! I've looking for help for diabetic neuropathy pain. I've been using msm in crystal form for two months, but always get a very sick stomach. On this low dose, haven't had any reduction in pain yet. Anyone else too sick from msm? Also, been putting dmso at 70% mixture on my feet at bedtime. Most nights it does reduce pain. Dr. Jacob said everyone who uses dmso will smell like garlic. I've never tasted it in my mouth or have ever smelled from using dmso. Thank you! Laura

Laura,

On foot pain issue caused by neuropathy...

I'm an advocate of DMSO so am glad you are already onto it. Also consider using the DMSO gel if you are not using that. Try applications during the day also.

Another help for diabetic neuropathy is the wonderful "AEP" (comes in different forms; mag AEP and calcium AEP) which Hans Nieper popularized. Dr. Adkins used AEP in IV drips for his MS patients. If you go on line you can find sources for Calcium AEP...I'd give four or five at night to my mother who had full blown MS especially a lot if she was having flair ups. Worked wonders. I've mentioned AEP many times on EC and have always referenced the google site: "Calcium AEP nutrition review" for a great article.

On dietary issues; I presume you are off the carbs which present glucose problems for diabetic folks or pre-diabetic.

Another trick that has worked for me...baking soda, a half teaspoon dissolved in half glass of water. Apply the liquid to feet and legs...twice within three minutes. Then I drink the rest. It helps alkalize the system and the application somehow really helps the "restless" or aching limbs. Works for me. Usually within minutes.

Laura from Newark , Ohio ---- I have no more trouble with neuropathy since using AMALA , a very potent and pure vit. C. from India. It is available also online. To date it is three years. I take it as a powder, in solution with warm water and stevia (I use honey) and, at least three tsp. and divide this for about two days, drunk through a straw to protect tooth enamel, You can read up on this highly potent vit C on Ayurvedic sites. If I forget for a little while, I get small twinges to remind me.

Be aware that all vit C is now GMOed. I also take dissolved turmeric in almond milk daily with Amala for many benefits including sugar. Turmeric also has much chromium. This combination is suggested by Ayurveda for sugar with many more benefits. Namaste, Om

I don't know about either DMSO or MSM but I use "Tegretol CR 200" (Carbamazepine 200mg controlled release) even though this is not a natural remedy, one tablet at night helps me heaps. I hope this helps you.

Take MSM with Molybdenum to remedy the sick feeling MSM gives!

... If taking MSM, garlic, onions or other Sulfur rich foods makes you feel sick? take some molybdenum.

"I had a bad reactions to high sulfur foods (a garlic and onion soup I made) which I had not experienced in the past, and indicated to me I was getting sicker.

I started out with 300 mcg of Molybdenum and worked up to 1000 mcg. WOW! Not only did the Molybdenum take care of the 'sulfur sickness' I was experiencing, but the brain and thinking problems cleared up and I had a lot more energy after only 3 weeks.

I was just about to ask if anyone at EC has tried DMSO. A few months ago, at night, the bottom of my feet began feeling warm and 'stuffed', it then moved up to the calf area. Not all the time and not both extremeties at the same time. I applied DMSO when the sensation occurs and it's disappeared on several occasions. I've noticed that if I cheat by eating sugar or drink even a little wine, it reappears. After reading about neuropathy on EC, I'm going to try Dr. Berg's Keto diet and start on ALA. Thank God for EC.
