THIS WEEK IN THE HSI FORUM

" Pins and needle feet " is the appropriate name that an HSI

member uses to identify himself in a Forum thread

titled " neuropathy " - short for " peripheral neuropathy " - a

condition characterized by a numbness or painful tingling in

the feet, legs, hands and arms. Wanting to avoid taking a

medication for the rest of his life (suggested by his

doctor), " Pins " asks, " Is there any other remedy, vitamin,

mineral, herb, or do I just learn to live with this? "

In an e-Alert I sent you last week ( " Big Mama " 4/15/03), I

told you about diabetic neuropathy which can be treated with

the antioxidant alpha lipoic acid (ALA). ALA has been shown

to help control glucose levels, relieving diabetic

neuropathy, but Pins' neuropathy is caused by a thyroid

condition.

A member named Pat tells how her mother found a great deal

of relief from neuropathy with B-12 shots, and her husband

had success treating polio related nerve problems with B-12

tablets.

Finally, another member, Lance, puts the complexity of

neuropathy into perspective with this thought: " Disease can

have many causes (and, therefore, many cures). A different

cause requires a different treatment. Is the neuropathy the

result of a deficiency, physical injury, metals or other

toxic ingestion, etc? If it is the result of a deficiency,

which supplement/substance will help the most? It may be

alpha lipoic acid, B-12, carnitine, NAC, or one of many

other supplements. "

Lance also makes the point that neuropathy is a symptom, and

to successfully treat it, the cause has to be accurately

determined. This is often easier said than done, and as

Lance points out, if a therapy isn't working, it's probably

due to a misdiagnosis.

Other topics in the HSI Forum this week include a discussion

about the use of colloidal silver for the prevention and

treatment of SARS; aromatherapy in a thread titled " Oil of

oregano " ; the pros and cons of gastric bypass surgery;

several comments about the late Dr. C. Atkins by

members who obviously feel gratitude after successfully

dropping weight using the Atkins diet; and a warning about

olive leaf extract from a member named Steve who states: " If

you are on antibiotics it WILL destroy the antibiotics so

make sure you are not on antibiotics when taking olive

leaf. "

OUT THE INBOX

The new HIPAA medical privacy rule is so long and complex that

you might want a lawyer at your side while trying to decipher

the regulatory twists and turns. Fielding questions from HSI

members, we'll look at the regulations from a human level,

sort through some misconceptions, and weigh the urgency of the

rule's critical privacy issues against the supposed invasion

of privacy created by the spam in your e-mail inbox.

GIVING IT AWAY

When a prestigious study helped confirm the association

between Alzheimer's disease and high cholesterol levels,

pharmaceutical companies wasted no time in hitching their

cholesterol-lowering statin drugs to the potentially vast

new market that Alzheimer's offers. But if you'd like to

avoid the many unpleasant side effects of statins (and who

wouldn't?) we'll tell you about the simple dietary and

supplement tips that can help regulate your cholesterol

levels safely. It could make all the difference between

confusion and clarity in the coming years.

MULTI-TALENTED

With the threat of SARS looming worldwide, there could

hardly be a better time to take a close look at that

anti-viral, anti-bacterial workhorse: vitamin C. HSI Panelist

Allan Spreen, M.D., explains why you don't always see high

amounts of vitamin C in multi-vitamins and why that's not a

bad thing. In his typical lively style, Dr. Spreen examines

the different types of vitamin C, along with advice about

which ones are best and what dosage levels to look for in

both vitamin C and multi-vitamins to help keep your immune

system strong.

LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION

A true pioneer in the world of nutritional medicine, when

Dr. C. Atkins passed away last week he left a legacy

of hope for the millions of people who have found new health

and freedom from obesity with his controversial diet. We'll

take a look at some of the gratifying successes that the

Atkins diet enjoyed over the past year, which finally

vindicated the good doctor for his three decades of

tireless, groundbreaking efforts in the face of fierce

resistance from the mainstream medical establishment.
