Hi, Lisa,

 

For your diabetes, high BP, cholesterol, etc. read

http://www.mercola.com/2001/jul/14/insulin.htm

 

If your neuropathy is due to diabetes, take a look at NutraStar's

products because they had great success reversing it rather quickly in

clinical studies. http://www.nutrastar.com

Yipes! Neurontin is not a good medicine. I don't know why they bother to

try it, because i've never heard a report of it working well AND being free

of unacceptable side effects.

 

I'm not familiar with Keppra at all. What is is it?

 

Diabetes can sometimes be controlled by diet. I haven't heard much about

people being able to do that as well once the neuropathy kicks in, but

theoretically it should be reversible. The reason why most people can't

reverse it, is that we tend to stick with standard modes of medical

treatment once we get used to them, which usually makes other methods

unworkable. Besides, if you have to pay for another method, and the

standard method is paid for, which are you going to choose?

 

Ideally, a doctor should be able to teach you a proper diet once your

ancestry, blood type, and full medical history are known and analyzed.

Sometimes diabetes clears up on the Blood Type Diet, and sometimes just on a

high-protein regimen.

 

One interesting thing is that Diabetes tends to respond very well to

blueberries, of all things. They're pretty expensive, but maybe not as bad

as Neurontin. I personally get heavy-duty bleeding gums from Diabetes, and

eating some currants helps a lot. Lately i've also added spinach and

artichokes, and they have wiped out that symptom too.

 

As for chronic pain, that's difficult to treat with herbs. When i've heard

of good results, it's usually been from using TENS electrical treatment. It

may be that diet will help with that too, but i'm not experienced enough on

that to be able to give more specific recommendations without knowing you.

Hello

I am new to this forum and I must say that it took me many attempts

to find one that actually had people discussing things as opposed to

sparse posts and newsletters etc... I hope to engage in discussion

and help people as well.

I recently found a book in a charity shop called " our earth our cure "

by Raymond Dextreit. I feel that the information within could be some

of the best around. He promotes the use of clay as a healing medium

as his main premise and make up of book. I wish to partake of this

type of therapy but don't with to pay the ridculous prices " per jar "

that some companies charge for pescalite, bentonite etc.. which is

packed in plastic containers making them useless anyway.

If anyone can suggest where I can get clay of this type in large

blocks weighing say 50lbs (30kg) bags as he and others suggest,

please tell me. I live near Sydney Australia but would pay for

shipping from any Australian supplier.

Thanks

Haron.

Hi there, welcome to the site. I'm new too.

 

 

 

 

I found clay at the local college, under art supplies. I also am fond

of clay therapy.. Not sure if this is the right type of clay, maybe

call and find out its ingredients.
