Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I have been taking the Nerve Formula (Dr. 's) for the past few weeks, and though it has helped with insomnia and tremors, I have noticed some problems. The past few days I have been experiencing numbness and tingling in my arms and hands. Is this a common side effect of the Nerve Formula? Should I be concerned or does this just mean its working? I thought, maybe I shouldn't take this everyday, go a few days without it or maybe just take it when I have difficulty sleeping or when my tremors are out of control. What do you suggest? Again thank you for all the helpful information everyone has been sharing with me. The Parkinson's info and Copper info has been great.

Hi Anne, How much are you taking how often and in what format (tea, capsules, extract)? Has anything in your diet changed at all? If you are taking this as directed and suggested then you should have no problems. To the best of my knowledge there are no known side effects to taking this remedy. However, everyone is different. I would suggest that you continue using it, at the dosages recommended though, as most likely it is working and doing what it needs to do to repair your nerves. Have you done the total body cleanse yet? Bowel, kidney/bladder and liver/gallbladder cleanses? If not I would highly recommend that you do as well as eating much more raw foods (green leafy vegetables and fruits) in order to give your body the necessary vitamins and minerals that it is lacking in. You might also consider taking some extra plant enzymes as well. If you are cooking your food or eating a lot of mucus forming foods then you should really consider changing to a raw diet cutting out all dairy, processed foods, refined foods and meat.

Hi Anne, Is you plan to get off all of these medications? Is someone helping you? Are you getting good care and guidance form a qualified practitioner? That's a lot of heavy duty medication- I just want to see you be as safe and well as possible- I'd be very careful and be sure you are in very good care. Love, Whole Life Essentials.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi Anne, You are on some pretty heavy duty drugs there. I am really sorry to see that. However, you should consider weaning yourself off of them if possible. However, do it with the help of your primary care physician. Let him/her know you want off and work to get off. There are more natural ways of handling your problems besides using prescribes drugs. For your blood pressure I would suggest you taking cayenne, Hawthorne Berries, ginger and garlic. All raw of course. For Dysmenorrhea there are lots of really good herbal solutions instead of using oral contraceptives. Here is one you can try: 1/2 ounce Squaw Vine (a repens) 1/2 ounce Red Raspberry leaves (Rubus idaeus) 1/2 ounce Uva ursi leaves (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) 1/2 ounce Golden Seal root (Hydrastis canadensis) 1/2 ounce White Poplar or quaking aspen inner bark (Populus tremuloides) Simmer the herbs in 1 quart of distilled water down to 1 1/2 pints; strain, sweeten, allow to cool, bottle and keep in a cool place. Take 2 fluid ounces 3 to 4 times a day. Taking cayenne, ginger, garlic will also help with dysmenorrhea as well because they help to stimulate blood flow and help to tone organs. Black Cohosh will be good for tremors. Have you done any bowel cleansing Anne? What exactly is your diet like both fluids and solids? What nutritional supplements are you currently taking?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Anne you need to get some b vitamins in you. A defficiency can cause all your symtoms including the numbness and tingling.
