Guest guest Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 AL: Check out a site http://www.trivita.com and look at their product called the Nerve Formula, its all natural and specifically for severe neuropathy that you're describing.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi Al, You need to detoxify asap. My recommendation would be to use an ionic footbath every other day for 30 days and then decrease to twice a week and then once a week. If you can afford it, buy a machine yourself, otherwise find someone near you who offers treatments and ask for a bulk deal. One problem with chemo is that it kills off the cancer cells and normal cells but it doesn't get them out of your body. Chemo is a toxin and needs to be eliminated. I bought a footbath detox unit last summer and my husband who was working in a factory as a lathe operator grinding metal about 8 years ago was literally " full of it " ! He used the bath and his second one just reeked of that metal he used to work with. I would not recommend chelation as it is very hard on the liver and kidneys and I suspect that they won't be healthy enough now to cope with it. If you do go that route make sure you take some very good liver and kidney support. Your bowels will also need a good probiotic to heal themselves and make sure you don't have a re-occurance. I'm new to this list so I'm not sure if we name products here but email me if you like for details on either of these things. I don't have enough knowlege about neuropathy to tell you if this would work in your situation or not but for diabetic neuropathy (hurting, burning, tingling, numbness) magnetic insoles were shown in a double blind placebo study to help 90% of patients. Are you taking any kind of essential fatty acids? Do you supplement? What kind of diet are you on, if any? Hope you feel better soon and let us know how it goes and what you decide to do.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Regarding the nueropathy, Naturopath gave my husband large doses of Vitamin B6, He also had accupuncture, both of those helped some. Accupunture provider is also a Chinese Medical Dr. and he gave him a Prickly Ash Combination. Contains Prickly Ash, Bayberry and Irish Moss, which was additional help. Feet are almost normal.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Redracer: I just read a article at < http://www.cancertutor.com > which led me to this website about iodine effects upon neuropathy, on http://www.vegansociety.com/html/food/nutrition/iodine.php ----------------------------------------- quote: " Most vegans know that B12 deficiency can cause neurological complications and tingling sensations or numbness. B 12 deficiency is also a common cause of elevated homocysteine levels in vegans. It should be noted that hypothyroidism (myxedema) can also cause nerve damage, tingling sensations and elevated homocysteine and should be considered as an alternative diagnosis for these symptoms. " The key to good thyroid function is adequate, but not excessive iodine intake. Intakes in the range 100-300 micrograms per day are desirable, though intakes up to 500 micrograms per day are probably not harmful. If taking supplements go for about 100-150 micrograms per day, to give a total intake of 150-200 micrograms per day.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hi Al, I currently have an Aqua Chi but there are also other brands that work just as well. I'd like to get another one so I'm currently researching other brands. Give me a week or so and I'll post what I find out. That's great with the organic food. The last thing you need is pesticides and herbicides and dead food. Eating locally helps too, because much, if not all food is irradiated when it crosses the border.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Al: My father passed away from prostate cancer that had spread to his back and his colon. I searched high and low for some natural treatment but was too late to help him. Take a look at this website: http://www.lovemangosteen.net/cancer.html. I HAVE NO IDEA if this product could help you or not, but I have heard some pretty good things that would lead me to believe that it might. I gave this juice to a woman who works at our meat plant who has severe arthritis (and has for years) in her hands. She told me that her pain almost went away after two days. After that experience, I started buying the juice wholesale and use it myself daily and have significantly reduced the back pain that I have experienced since being hit by a car years ago.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Sharon, I wondered which foot bath unit you bought. I have been looking into them and can't decide which is better.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Since having chemotherapy in 1989, the neuropathy finally went away some years ago, but I still have to wear socks to bed or my feet, even though not cold, feel like they are freezing. Crazy thing is that mainstreamers will complain about " the dangers of neuropathy from non-mainstream treatments, but it's okay if THEIR drugs cause neuropathy. It just takes time for the neuropathy to go away. I believe nerves or nerve endings have to regenerate. Maybe there are some supplements folks can recommend to speed the process---B complex? Amino acid complex? Best wishes, Elliot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
