Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Dear Wayne, In anyone over 50 with these symptoms, always look for B vitamin shortages first. Brewer's yeast is the best source. Next best is blackstrap molasses. In addition to either of those, you still need B12 methyl cobalamin sublingual daily. If it is a circulation problem, then try cayenne pepper daily. Start at 100,000 heat units and work up to 150,000. If there is no change in the neuropathy or other symptoms after three weeks, then you might look into ozone therapy, which will fix neuropathy and Raynaud's and circulatory problems. Best of Health!

Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 11:30:56 -0500 A number of my friends have numb fingers, toes, and even problems with the legs. Some of them think they have nerve problems, rather than circulation problems. On of the things diagnosed is Raynauds Syndrome, If the problem is nerves, rather than circulation, is this due to damaged and deteriorated nerves or communications problems with the nerves. Any terms or search strings that would tell me more about this? Wayne ---------- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Evening Corny, >> I'm wondering how old your friends are that are developing this " peripheral neuropathy " ? 50 - 60? I don't worry so much about the older ones. The one that is 37 is the main concern. She is lean, trim, goes to the gym 5 days a week, and if she can't make the schedule, works our at home that day. She takes a variety of nutrients which I have not analyzed yet. She tries to eat right but fails due to limited knowledge. What the hell are they doing to themselves? My guess is that it is a degenerative disease - meaning: self-caused. It's what they eat and drink. Also disuse of the body. Of course I agree with you, 100 %. The real puzzle is to figure out what is missing and correct that. >> An easy way to determine this is to simply start using the body more, as in WORKING OUT. Even without a diet correction the results will be good. Better if you eat good food. She works out a full 1.5 hours, 5 days per week. I think food, stress, and some missing links are the causes. She is somewhat politically active. Darn, that is enough to cause all this. Not sure whether to blame if on the Democrats or Republicans. It may be after the elections before she will slow down enough to answer any questions. Thanks for the comments. Will let you know what I find out. She is taking iron supplements and thinks she is anemic. Wayne ---------- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

The one that is 37 is > the main concern. > >================ Hi Wayne, If what she truly has is Raynauds is does effect more women than men and usually those who live in a cold climate. The usual age range in women is between 15 to 40 years of age. It is a circulatory condition where they will have vasospastic attacks that cause the blood vessels in the fingers and toes to constrict. Possible causes are carpal tunner, some drugs, including beta-blockers, migraine medication, certain agents used in cancer chemo. It's most commonly associated with hand/arm vibration so often a job where you have to handle vibrating machinery can lead to it. Sometimes medication are prescribed but usually they like to stay away from medication with this and go with things like staying warm. Double layering of clothing, hats/mittens/etc. Don't smoke, exercise and control stress as stress can also triger an attack. I think if it were me, I'd try the cayenne and perhaps niacin.
