| Eliminate Nerve Pain—Using the Best of Natural and Prescription Treatments Dear Readers, One of the more difficult and uncomfortable types of pain comes from nerve pain (called Neuropathic Pain or Neuropathies). Whether the pain comes from diabetes, shingles, fibromyalgia, chemotherapy, or a host of other causes, this searing, burning, electric shock kind of pain can leave you miserable. Unfortunately, most physicians are still not trained in treating nerve pain, and give anti-inflammatory medications like Motrin (which are not effective) or narcotics, which are modestly effective. The good news is that NERVE PAIN IS VERY TREATABLE. Many studies have shown that using nutritional support with Lipoic Acid 300 mg 2x day, Acetyl L-Carnitine 500-1,500 mg 2x day, Inositol (500-1,000 mg a day), and Vitamins B6 (50-100 mg a day) and B12 (500-5,000 mcg a day—both B vitamins and Inositol are in the Energy Revitalization System vitamin powder) can actually help heal the nerves and decrease or eliminate the pain. Nerves take time to heal, so natural remedies need to be taken for 3-12 months. In the interim, Holistic Pharmacies can make powerful creams combining multiple medications effective against nerve pain (available by prescription from ITC Pharmacy 303-663-4224). These are rubbed over the painful areas, and can be very effective after 1-2 weeks of use. Being rubbed on the skin though, the total dose to the rest of your body is very low, making it largely side effect free! Other medications can also be VERY effective. Just because doctors are not trained in pain management does not mean you have to be in pain. Want to make your nerve pain go away? You can! Read more » |

Treating with Vitamin D at ~ 2,000 units a day decreased pain by 47% after 3 months. Read more » Lipoic Acid for Diabetic Neuropathy This recent study showed that Lipoic Acid was more effective than medication for diabetic neuropathy, but should be taken long term.

| | | | | Zen with a Twist ;-) 2008 Zen Sarcasm The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt or a leaky tire. It's always darkest before dawn, so if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. If at first you don't succeed... Skydiving is not for you. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put back in your pocket. A closed mouth gathers no foot. Duct tape is like "The Force." It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. There are two theories to arguing with a women - Neither one works. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. |
