Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Hello Good People! I'm so glad to have found this group. I have learned a great deal already. I need your help with a couple of things. First: My mother, 65, is diabetic. She is having great problems with burning/tingling in her left leg and foot. She was diagnosed with peripherial neuropathy (sp?). Does anyone know of a natural help for this? She is taking a medicine for it (the name escapes me at the moment) but it does not help. She also has done a great deal in lifestyle modification and has her sugar level pretty much under control but this leg thing is really getting to her. Second: What natural help can be done for a stye (sp?) in the eye? I've read through many posts and searched the files but haven't been successful in these two searches.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 help for a stye... first, an eye exam is in order. second, make sure that close up work, including reading, is done in good light. third, mix two tablespoons of eyebrite tea with two tablespoons of golden seal powder. place the herb in the bottom of a sterilized jar (boiled for 5 minutes) and then add 1 cup of water. wipe the eye with 100% sterilized cotton. do not use the cotton ball for more than one dip into the sterilized solution. Do this 8 times a day for a week. end of stye problem. Corlis --- infantsol <infantsol wrote: > Hello Good People! > > I'm so glad to have found this group. I have learned > a great deal > already.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I don't think it is a ciropractor problem, I think you should have her see a cardi-vascular doctor or maybe a neuro doctor. It sounds like it might be nerve damage or a vascular problem. But as the case may be.. I am not a medical doctor and so maybe it helped your friend but it might be a totally different problem for your mom. Especially since you say she is a diabetic!"Pat M." <bogduck wrote: As to the leg preoblem she should go see a goodchiropractor a friend of mine had the same problem andthat is what she did and it helped greatly.Pat M> Hello Good People!> First: My mother, 65, is diabetic.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Thank you all for the suggestions! As it turns out, she has seen a doctor for the neuropathy, an endocrinologist I think. He's the one that prescribed the medicine for her leg. I've been researching whatever I can to find a food/herb that would maybe help with the burning sensation. She's very active and this condition cuts down on her activities plus makes her cranky - as I think I would be with a constant irritation.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Re: the stye. My 20 yr old college daughter is prone to styes and has been for about the last four years. I forget where I found it, but the answer was that the body is deficient in Vit. A. When she has one starting, she takes 25,000 IU's of a Vit. A soft gel twice a day, and it is gone the next day. (We use the emulsified form.) It seems like when there is more stress in her life and her immune system goes down a bit, that's when it happens. She tries to take one about once a week when she remembers. After knowing about this for my daughter's problem, my chiro told me that when one has a sore throat to take three soft gels of Vit. A (equals 75,000 IU's) twice a day. (One should not do this more than 2 or 3 days.) He explained that Vit. A protects the mucous membranes. So, that probably ties in with the eye protection also. I had a sore throat once for four days that none of my normal herbs/vitamins would help. I did the Vit. A regime, and honest, my sore throat was gone in 20 minutes--it only took one dose for me. I think this worked so quick for me since I had been taking all my other supplements religiously for the four days.
