Question:

Do you know of a treatment for nerve pain (feet and ankles)
EH from YT

Answer:

Nerve pain or neuralgia, can have many causes, and of course natural healing is not just about symptomatic relief, but getting to the root of the problem.

Are nerves being impinged or pressured in some way from a structural accident, posture or degeneration? For example a vertebral challenge, misplaced vertebra or bulging disk can put pressure on a nerve. If there is a physical or structural challenge, then this needs to be addressed for full resolution.

A restriction in circulation or injury can cause inflammation, and loss of nutrition reaching a nerve. This must be rectified to prevent degeneration of a nerve. As mentioned in The Paw Paw Program, Chapter 1 – “inflammation is the Root of All Evil”; it affects all dis-ease conditions, including those that involve pain.

So without more detail, which would require a consultation, it is difficult to answer this more completely, but do seek out the cause.

From a pain reduction point of view, here are several formulations that we have used successfully over the past 25 years that can help with inflammation and pain in general, and nerve pain specifically. Herbs will also provide the nourishment necessary for nerve repair.

The following are some of the best anti-inflammatories from the herbal kingdom, some pain killers, and some topical applications which can all offer relief.

Please read these over and select two of the internal remedies, plus one topical. Try them conscientiously for at least one month. The beauty of this approach is that the herbs will have no negative side effects as most drugs do, and your body will benefit in some way from the added nutrition.

I have been taught over the last 30 years that there are good herbal and plant sources of Vitamin B12, including Spirulina, Alfalfa, Hops, Burdock Root, Chickweed, Dandelion Root, Catnip, Hawthorn Berries, Mullein Leaves, Red Clover Tops, Fenugreek Seeds, Dong Quai, White Oak Bark, miso and tempeh. Some say that seaweeds are the best source of Vitamin B12 and provide far more of the nutrient than animal flesh (which provides questionable nutrition after it’s cooked).

However, after a recent in depth search, most researchers indicate that this is not the case. Most up-to-date studies conclude that there is no great plant source that is easily absorbed by humans.

And yes, it is true that if we have healthy colonic bacteria, our body can make some Vit. B12. The challenge is, whether we utilize this effectively or not. Based on these recent studies, it is my opinion that it is quite critical for vegans and vegetarians to supplement.

Other people who are at risk for B12 deficiency are those who have digestion problems, have had intestinal surgery or radiation, anyone aged 60 or older, breast-fed infants of vegetarian mothers, drinkers and people taking cholesterol lowering drugs.

Once you read the many functions of Vitamin B12 and the myriad of symptoms resulting from a deficiency, you can decide. In my clinical practice, I have had some remarkable results with Vit. B12 supplementation.

One example was a lady suffering severe arm tingling from an overuse injury (she was a landscaper). Although this tingling had been ongoing for several months and was becoming unbearable, she noticed a difference within 48 hours of taking a liquid B 12 Plus supplement.

It is easy and very affordable solution to supplement with the NSP Vitamin B12 liquid.
One bottle would last 2 months if a person took it every day. Blood tests HAVE shown that is well absorbed. We have cases where even elderly people, previously taking B12 injections, have maintained and increased their B12 serum levels with the liquid Vit. B12. Obviously taking a supplement by mouth is easier, less invasive and less expensive.
