post herpatic neuralgia and Tonalin

[Guest guest]

BlankIn 2004, I contracted the Epstein-Barr Virus. I developed lower torso pain

that, for over a year, was contributed to other things. It was finally

diagnosed as PHN. Neurtontin and Nerve Blocks did nothing. It was identified

when a numbing agent was injected into the muscles attached to the lumbar

nerves. I subsequently read a paper from Germany that, if there is any

deformity in the spine, EBV will attach to those nerves. I have age related

compression in the lumbar.

 

I did find a cure - 1) An anti-inflammatory diet (no sugar or foods to which I

discovered I am allergic), 2) Anti-inflammatory supplements, 3) Exercise.

 

For the supplements, I take 4000mgs Omega 3 and 2 Zyflamend in the morning and

4000 mgs Evening Primrose in the evening.

 

Recently, I mistook CLA for GLA (I wanted to try another anti-inflammatory

supplement...but I am already getting this in the EP oil). CLA/Tonalin was a

miracle drug. It works quickly. I find that I am even able to eat some of the

" bad " foods when taking CLA.

However, Tonalin has no record of being an anti-inflammatory supplement.

Does anyone know how CLA works for neuralgia?
