Melody, Look into Coconut oil for your hubbys Neuropathy. Its something I just

come across and WOW does it have many uses including helping people with that. 

Check this site out, it explains alot of what it can do.

http://www.coconutresearchcenter.org/

here is just an example

* Boosts energy and endurance, enhancing physical and athletic performance.

* Improves digestion and absorption of other nutrients including vitamins,

minerals, and amino acids.

* Improves insulin secretion and utilization of blood glucose.

* Relieves stress on pancreas and enzyme systems of the body.

* Reduces symptoms associated with pancreatitis.

* Helps relieve symptoms and reduce health risks associated with diabetes.

* Reduces problems associated with malabsorption syndrome and cystic fibrosis.

Hope this helps, would love to help you on something when you help so many of

us!

I am going to have to get coconut oil.  Hope whole Foods has it.  Going to

have to make a trip there.  I had read a long time ago that coconut shampoo

would keep away lice or that they couldn't live where the coconut shampoo was. 

Had a granddaughter who had lice and didn't know where she got it.  Might have

been on the air flight.  but family had a hard time getting rid of it.  My

daughter said she now knew why being called a louse was such a big insult.  it

was horrible.  Have to wash things in hot water or put in hot dryer or cover in

plastic and keep air out for a few weeks.  Had to spray furniture, etc. as well

as do the special shampoo on the head and kill the nits and redo the hsampoo a

time or two.  Awful stuff.   Wonder if coconut oil would keep mosquitos off

me. 

 

And osteoporosis is a good reason to use the oil.  Anti-inflamation too.  have

to alternate coconut oil and olive oil maybe as both so good for us.  I have

grape seed oil too, but not sure which is better for us there.

If his neuropathy is not from diabetes, what is the cause?  Heart problems that

might cause peripheral artery disease in the legs and cut off some of the

circulation?  My husband has some problems with the legs and his ankles turn

dark.  His heart is not beating and moving the blood as well as it should. 

For me, I get it but am diabetic but it comes and goes so there is  fairly good

circulation but I don't walk enough.  Arthritis is a problem with the knees and

also the back.  Going to try that coconut oil for arthritis.  And will try

some broccoli sprouts as well.

Ok melody I have to ask I know its OT but, what can you tell me about the methyl

b-12, I have actually had issues with my b-12 being to low, then when getting

injections of b-12 I took a b-12 under the tongue  suppliment for energy and

then was diagnosed with b-12 toxicity. (Personally I think the Dr. was nuts,

that is so rare its crazy even my other Dr.s thinks it was a miss diagnosis)  

then just a couple months later I was again told I didnt have enough b-12

again.... Go figure!

We think of lice being from poor parts of twn but that is not accurate.  It can

happen to anyone.  It can be caught from theatres and airplanes.  It can be

passed around by girls who let others use their brushes or combs or who just hug

and have their hair against someone else's.  They were around me and I never

got it.  They did have long hair and were always hugging other girls and you

could see photos with head to head.  They are grown now so won't have that

problem again I suppose.  But they had 2 rounds of it.  They also had an

exchange student in their home from China.  So who knows how they got it.  But

it was miserable and we were all itchy, know what I mean?  Someone just talks

about it and I'm scratchin my head.  LOL.

Carolyn, I read somewhere that it recommended not going 100% coconut oil cause

the other oils has good things we need too, so that it is best ti experiment

with it and find what we like/dont like with the coconut oil and what we prefer

with the others to help balance the oils out. As for lice I had some family get

it a long time back, they found the cheapest way to keep the lice away was to do

the shampoo and nit thing, then after that put baby oil in the hair till you get

everything covered washed and etc and are sure you have cleaned everything you

can. The oil suffocates the bugs and eggs. Then once you wash your hair well

enough to get the oil out. once a week wash it with a dog shampoo that kills

lice, its cheaper then the special shampoo. Mind you they had to do that because

they lived in the poor side of town and the school was constantly having issues

with it, thats why they washed there hair once a week with the dog shampoo to

keep it at bay.

Where can we get the menthyl B12?  I got the B12 at Costco probably.  But you

may be right and it is not the Menthyl B12.  So is it at Whole Foods or the

large Health stores.  I think we have a Tuny's or Tooney's near here. I have

some acquaintances at church who go there.

Hi. Happy to help.

I shall make this as brief as possible as it's O/T but we do have diabetics on

this forum so I don't think I'm breaking too many rules.

B-12 is a very large molecule. When we take a regular form of B-12 (known as

Cyanocobalimin) (look in any store like CVS or Walgreens, pick up a bottle of

B-12 supplements and you'll see that it's Cyanocobalimin), and I'm afraid to

even say that the cyano stands for Cyanide, but that's another discussion.

Anyway, the body has to convert that to Methylcobalimin. If, let's say we have

normal absorption and we take 1000 of Cyanocobalin (which is converted to Methyl

in the body), we might be absorbing MAYBE 100 of that molecule.

Because it's a LARGE molecule.

Now, because our bodies are converting it to Methyl, we diabetics might as well

go for the Methyl B-12 (which is sold online (because I couldn't find it

anywhere else), I got it initially at iherb.com from Jarrows. Years ago when I

was diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy, with the zipping and zapping and

burning, (and because I attend a monthly metting of the Neuropathy Association

and because I go on a Neurological forum), I knew that I should begin Methyl

B-12. If I had had a brain in my head way back then, I should have already been

taking this supplement but hey, I learned the hard way.

So about 5 years ago when I began the burning in my feet, etc. etc, I went

online to iherb.com and got the 1000 of the Methyl B-12. I knew immediately

after one week that I should go on the 5000. It's sublingual and you MUST take

it on an empty stomach to make sure you absorb what you absorb.

In a few months, because I was taking 5000 upon awakening every morning, I

noticed all my neuropathy symptoms had abated. And the only time I get a slight

burn in my feet is when the temperature drops in the same day by 25 or so

degrees. So I'm affected by barimetric pressure. So .....for 5 years now, (oh,

by the way, my B-12 level is 2000). I don't need to take 5000 every morning

anymore. I take 3000 every few days.

It's all about getting your B-12 level to a good number. Four digits for us

diabetics because we simply need it more than the average person.

Google Methyl B-12, nerve damage, diabetes, etc. You'll get loads of

information.

I now get mine from Puritan's Pride because they have the Buy 2, get 3 free

deals. You can't beat that.

And anything that helps with diabetic neuropathy is okay in my book.

Of course, the first and foremost thing, one must do to control one's diabetic

neuropathy is to CONTROL one's blood sugar. If one doesn't do that, you can take

all the Methyl B-12 you want, it won't help. It goes hand in hand with

controlling one's blood sugar.

Remember, doctor's (god bless them), practice MEDICINE. They do not practice

NUTRITION.

And as a closing punchline here, I remember well, about 3 years ago, when I had

been taking Methyl B-12 for quite a while and my symptoms abated, I was in my

podiatrist's office when he had been called away and his partner was doing my

feet (regular maintenance stuff like cutting toenails etc). He remarked. " you

have diabetes??, your feet are very good " . I then began my speech on taking

Methyl B-12. He looked at me and said " I would never prescribe B-12 for anyone

except if they had anemia, I don't believe in that crap " . I said 'well, you are

certainly entitled to your opinion "

Exactly one year later, when I was at my regular appointment, he popped his head

in and quietly asked " Melody mind if I ask you a question about that B-12 you

are taking? " I said 'no problem, what's up? " He said " I just got diagnosed with

diabetic neuropathy, WHAT'S THE INFO ON THAT B-12 YOU ARE ON??? "

I gave him what he needed to know about it and that was that.

See?? Even doctors can learn a thing or two.

Sorry this was long but I wanted to be thorough in what I told you.

I had no idea that food allergies could lead to neuropathy.  I figured that

when I get it that it may be from pressure on the nerves in my back or from the

diabetes.  However, the fee don't hut all the time.  If I do something a bit

or walk a bit it goes away.  Yet it seems to get worse lately.  Any my ankles

hurt.  They are swollen.  I take diuretics most every day.  Sometimes I am

not taking pills on time.   Guess I shouldn't complain if I don't take them

all on time.

I had severe neuropathy for many years. When I made the connection between my

health and food allergies, eliminated my " triggers " and changed how I ate, the

neuropathy and MOST of my other health issues completely resolved. The main

triggers for me where wheat, soy and corn, with sensitivies to many other

things, but those were the biggies. I was pleasantly surprised that the

neuropathy cleared up completely. I still get some minor tingling in my feet if

I am exposed to one of my allergens, but the years long numbness and tingling

completely cleared up.

because he has neuropathy in his feet (you could drive a nail into his foot and

he wouldn't feel it) but the pain is between his toes and they burn (because

neuropathy is nerve damage and that means mis-directed pain signals reach the

brain. He has a foot ulcer for 6 years that comes back because he has a

Exostosis (extra bony growth) under his foot. He wears special shoes (which

don't help) because when he walks, it puts pressure on the ulcer). We are now

AGAIN trying to find a foot surgeon to shave down the boney part under his foot.

So far, no one will operate on his foot because as they put it. " His foot might

This is the product that I've been taking for years.

And lately (because I store it well), I have purchased the 1000 size and I take

3 of them every few days. But for anyone who has a B-12 deficiency, I'd start

with the 5000 once a day upon arising. And if you run this by your doctor, he
