Re: Re: Painful feet

I almost forgot, the only things that I have found to be helpful for the burning feet are seeing a chiropractor & a little trick he told me to do. Here goes, I will probably ruin my reputation with this one! LOL Try taking a can of soup, preferably chicken (just kidding), put it on the floor and roll your foot back & forth across it for about 3-5 minutes. I was told that it stretched the muscles/tendons in the foot. As silly as this sounds, for whatever reason, placebo or other, it does seem to help. LOL

If the chicken soup doesn't work, you could try beef noodle, or you could use a tennis ball.

** Quick answer here. The reason this works is because it stimulates

circulation. The increase in serotonin fromn the drug constricts blood

vessels and eventually damages them. This causes the feet (and often other

areas of the body) to burn.

I am still going to respond to people. Some of you have been waiting a

long time. I'm hoping I'll be able to sit here tomorrow and do this.

Dear ,

You said:

<<Thanks . I am off to see my GP this afternoon, as I can

hardly walk. I really don't want to take strong painkillers as they

make me feel sick, but I feel this is all they will offer. Do you

know of any alternative treatment? Will the the blood vessels

recover when I finally get off of this last little bit of cipromil?

I cannot believe all the damage these drugs have done to my body, it

hurts so >>

** Things that relax and/or repair damage to arteries and blood vessels

and/or nerves:

-- Ginkgo Biloba - increases blood flow and acts a powerful antioxidant to

protect from further damage to circulatory system.

-- Magnesium - relaxes smooth muscles and arteries.

-- Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) - used quite successfully by people with

impaired circulation and nerve damage from diabetes. The cause of this type

of damage doesn't matter--nerve damage is nerve damage. Also assists B

vitamins in producing energy from the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats

consumed through foods.

Most of the trials on ALA are being in Europe. In one clinical trial,

328 people with diabetic neuropathy received either 100 mg, 600 mg, or 1,200

mg a day of alpha-lipoic acid for three weeks. Participants who took 600 mg

daily had the greatest reduction in pain and numbness.

Speaking of B vitamins, there's no doubt that people who have taken

psychotropic drugs are depleted in B vitamins. The problem here is that

many of them have a difficult time assimilating B vitamins and often

experience adverse effects from them. I've found these problems to be

greatly reduced when the B vitamins are being taken in a formula that

includes other essential nutrients instead of on their own. For this I

recommend one of the liquid supplements mentioned in our files.

Some people can handle B12 injections also. The least preferable is B12

orally, in isolation from other nutrients.

-- Horsechestnut - particularly helpful for circulation in legs and feet.

A difference is usually seen almost immediately. Helps relieve the pain

from nerve damage.

Homeopathic remedies:

-- Belladonna 30C - key words here are heat, redness, throbbing, burning.

This remedy also could apply to a feeling of congestion and pressure in the

brain.

-- Some people respond well to Arsenicum Album or Aconite inn this

situation. If you getr even a slight improvement from a 30C dose this tells

me that we should move to a higher potency for more permanent resolution.
