Re: Johanne, is there a diet for neuropathy?

[Guest guest]

Hey Joyce,

Neuropathy is no picnic. I can tell you what worked for me thus far. I do the

metabolic typing food plan for my body, take specialized supplements based on my

hair analysis and cancer history and aside from NAC which pulls out chemo and

radiation out of your body, there is a product called Methyl B-12 1000 mcg from

Jarrow Formulas that I take daily which has stopped all neuropathy for me. It

works for people who have had shingles too.

Have you considered your food plan and a personal supplementation schedule?

Chemo has its way to deplete your body but one supplement does not serve all

people. Your body is unique and looking at all that is going on helps to map out

a plan for your nourishment.

Hi Johanne,

Can you recommend a diet for a bad case of chemo-induced neuropathy in

both feet? My EEG shows permanent nerve damage. Thanks

Hi Johanne,

Thanks for responding so quickly. Someone else knew someone who got

B-12 injections and it cured his neuropathy 100%. I asked my

neurologist about it and she tested me for a B-12 deficiency and mine

was okay, so I wasn't a candidate. Can I get Methyl B-12 from Jarrow

Formulas from a health food store, or do I need a prescription? I eat

anything and will check out the metabolic food plan also. Do you think

I should see a nutritionist, or just get the diet via the internet?

It's really great to know someone who UNDERSTANDS what I'm going thru.

Joyce,

First of all, get that B-12 supplement at

www.vitacost.com<http://www.vitacost.com/>

I would also want to recommend NAC from Jarrow Formulas at the same place and

take it 4 times a day to detox from all that chemo.

As far as the metabolic type diet, it may be of use for you to get some help but

read the book first and see if this fits your lifestyle. It does a great job but

for some people, it just doesn't fit and that is ok. After you have read the

book which introduces you to this, you can email me and I will help if you still

need it.

Bless you,

Johanne

Hi Johanne,

I've heard of NAC one other time (a youtube video about Cantron).

My dad is starting chemo on Monday. I understand that chemo is poison,

and it has many unwanted side effects, so it makes sense to flush it out

of the body. However, I am confused because why go through the chemo if

you are going to flush it away detoxing? At what point should someone

take something like NAC? How long do you leave the chemo to do it's job

before you start the detox process? I imagine it's a delicate balance,

but how do you know when to detox?

Many thanks,

[Guest guest]

Oh ,

Brace yourself for some sad and hard days. I do not endorse chemo but if one has

decided to do that, then the NAC would not be good until after all the chemo

treatments have been done. I'm sorry you have to go through this. Everybody has

to detox. If you change the filters in your car then it makes sense to clean the

ones in your body just as often! However, the method that you choose will depend

on your history. For example, somebody with a previous drug abuse history should

not dive into a liver detox unless well supervised by professionals. Detoxing

from chemo is very delicate as well. You need a doctor or naturopath that has

experience in these things so the body is not in danger.

Blessings,

I was taking something similar to NAC while I had chemotherapy. I remember

that everyone was surprised that I had no neuropathy after the fourth round

of chemo. I did get some neuropathy after the six rounds were finished,

but it is gone now.

Hi, .

When I got chemotherapy between 1989 and 1990, the oncologist

explained to me that cell poisons work within the first few minutes

of injection. I therefore do not think you have to worry about other

stuff interfering with the potency of the chemotherapy drugs.

There is a very good book called " Beating Cancer With Nutrition " you

might have a look at. It was written by the nutritionist for " Cancer

Treatment Centers of America. "

Though they are mainly mainstream, Cancer Treatment Centers of

America do practice complementary medicine along with mainstream, and this

particular nutritionist is not at all a run-of-the-mill type. He has a great

deal of knowledge, especially about what to eat and what to supplement with

concurrently with chemotherapy to both potentiate its effect on the cancer, and

to mitigate against side-effects from it.
