I found out a few tidbits about myself that I had not really known before, E http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/diabetes/pubs/neuro/neuro.htm#whatis >>>>>, interesting article. Altho it's not CMT I found this interesting, " inherited factors probably unrelated to diabetes may make some people more susceptible to nerve disease than others. " >>>This raised a question, if a person with the CMT genes also had the other inherited factors, would it cause CMT to be worse? Or a mutation of the CMT gene?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Debbie, I had peripheral neuropathy and parethesis(numbness in extremeties) that got better when I dealt with my mercury properly. I used porphyrazyme/cilantro extract with upregulation to finish detoxing the brain,CNS after earlier doing a little DMPS and DMSA/ALA, etc. When eliminating mercury sources and detoxing make sure you get proper nutritional, antioxidant support. I've also use Bio-Cleanse for detox. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I very much appreciate you taking the time to write this out for me. My husband says to get him the supplements and he will take them! Thanks again, Dianne Alobar wrote: > That is not a simple question to answer.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Taking large amounts of cayenne daily can temporarily relieve pain from neuropathy. Cayenne also increases blood flow which helps keep tissue healthy in hands and feet. Using high-heat cayenne (probably not available locally) allows one to use far less of it. I built up slowly, adding it to foods, until I was able to handle a high dose without feeling like I was gonna die from the heat. If you need sources for any of the supplements, I can tell you where I get mine from.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm a big fan of cayenne pepper too. My dh says to ask if you can get neuropathy in your hands. He has some numbing in his left hand and the dr. didn't seem too concerned about it. I don't think it is carpal tunnel because it's the wrong fingers.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Neuropathy is common in hands, feet, penis and eyes. When I first started reversing my neuropathy, I burned myself on hot pots in the kitchen. I was upset that I had been so careless. Then it occurred to me that I used to have far less feeling in my hands, so I got into the bad habit of picking up hot pots without a potholder because they did not feel hot to the touch.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks so much for all the info. We are going to get to work on this problem. I also bought him a pair of Crocs shoes. They have a pair especially for diabetic feet. I thought it couldn't hurt and might actually help. I would love to know where you get your supplements if you care to share that info.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Have you heard of MBT (shoes) - Masai Barefoot Technology? They may assist with diabetic issues. You could check out their website - www.swissmasai.com I bought a pair a few weeks ago and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I don't sell them, I wear them. ________________________________________________________________________________\ _ How would you spend $50,000 to create a more sustainable environment in Australia?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I looked into MBT shoes some years ago. They might be good for a person in good health, but not for me. Many of us diabetics have achilles tendons which are shrunk or tight, so we tend to walk on the front of our feet and not the heels, thus becoming more prone to sores as flesh thins down on our foot soles from poor circulation. Couple that with my wide toes and hammer toe means I should never wear shoes with a closed toe box. I take a pair of sandals with velcro straps situated such that the sandals fit me comfortably, then glue 3 layers of padding into them. I have heel cushions, arch supports, and full innersole support. ..Padding lasts about as long as my sandals last -- generally about a year.
