Re: Colon cancer Stage 3c; neuropathy

Dr. Schultz's NERVE TONIC may help. It cured my carpel tunnel. Doctors wanted

to cut me open and I went for the nerve tonic--so happy I did and I no longer

have any nerve damage.

Hopefully someone a lot more sophisticated will address this, however, it has

been reported that ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) seems to be effective with

Neuropathy. I have a version of neuropathy that is not chemo initiated and

the ALA does seem to help. What I read, and I believe it was from Leonard on

this list, was that it takes upwards of 2,400 mgs spread out during the day. I

take that much.

Hi! My name is and I was diagnosed with Stage 3c colon cancer in 10/06. I

completed the full course of Folfox and ended up with an ongoing neuropathy in

my hands and legs. My left leg and foot is mainly affected and I`ve tried

several medications to help alleviate the discomfort. Nothing seems to work. I

was just wondering if anyone out there has had this problem and found a remedy

for at least lessening the discomfort. I have been thinking of trying

accupuncture. I also have been wondering if any particular vitamins could help.

I recenting started taking B-complex but it has only been a week so I haven`t

experienced any relief yet. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

hello sumeet, yes we have that here in the states as well, it is more of a

multivitamin, mineral drink, good support but polymva targets cells

specifically for their proper metabolism, i think it would be a big help for

your situation.

all the best, regards al

My Mom also has horrible pain from Neuropathy. I went searching this morning for

natural pain remedies. Here's some links I found this morning that mostly agree

with the Life Extension article, plus a few more suggestions.

Remedies for Severe Neuropathy

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/neuropathy.html

TURMERIC - Earthclinic

10/04/2010: T Byrd from Milan, Tennessee writes: " I am a caregiver for my 93

year old mother who has neuropathy. I started giving her turmeric for hip pain

(cured it 2 diferent times). I ran out and it was 12 days before I could get

anymore. I hadn't noticed before I ran out, but, after it got out of her system,

she started complaining about her legs numerous times during the day. It dawned

on me that she had not been complaining so much of late. Once I got her back on

the turmeric, she stopped having the complaints. She hurts in the morning when

she first gets up, then virtually none afterward. I give her 2-500 mg a day. I

take 3 a day as it greatly helps my arthritis. "

One person recommended - TRANSDERMAL MAGNESIUM THERAPY

Nigari Flakes provides this and very cheap.

Neuropathy Natural Remedies

Testimonial

" I use time released alpha lapoic acid -2400 mg per day, 400mcg of chromium

picolinate per day, and gamma linolenic acid found in omega 6 fatty acid, found

in borage oil or evening primrose oil around 400 mg per day. This helps rebuild

the mylon sheath. (protective covering around your nerve endings) Also purchase

a juicer and juice EVERY day! Do your research and find out how to do a whole

body cleansing to detox yourself. You can get the suppliments at any healthfood

store. It made a drastic change in me when I done all this!

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions.....as I said,I am so grateful to

be in remission but the neuropathy is now interfering with my job. I am an R.N.

and it`s getting more and more difficult to be on my feet all day. It has also

interfered with me being physically active. Appreciate all the input and will

look into everything suggested. I will let you all know how things are going.

Thanks again,
