Steps to Take in the Event That Your Feet Get Flaked, Part II

 Steps to Take in the Event That Your Feet Get Flaked, Part II

It had been more than a year since Pete learned he had Peripheral Neuropathy, or nerve damage in his feet, as mentioned in the first part of this series. Neurontin®, which his doctor had given, helped for a while. However, the illness was worsening, and the discomfort was getting worse. The medicine looked to be struggling to cope with it.

A lack of a cure for Pete's ailment did not satisfy him. He did some research online and discovered...

(For a more detailed explanation, visit www.neuropathy.org.) There are several potential causes of peripheral neuropathy.

Among them are:

-- Associated with the immune system; the most well-known example of this is Guilllane-Barre syndrome, which occurs when the immune system launches an assault on the peripheral nervous system. One of the first symptoms of this ailment is typically a lack of strength in the legs.

Overly high blood sugar levels lead to diabetes. Both peripheral (affecting only the limbs) and autonomic (affecting the brain and spinal cord) types of injury are possible.

HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and Lyme disease are the infectious causes.

-- Nutritional and Drug-Related. Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is vital to the proper functioning of the peripheral nervous system, and an excess of alcohol consumption can lead to a shortage of this vitamin.

— Passed down across generations. Marie Charcot- One form of hereditary neuropathy is tooth disease. The legs' nerves are hit first, then the feet's, and lastly the arms' and hands'.

-- Syndrome of the Carpal Tunnel. Repetitive trauma can lead to neuropathy.

-- Serious Disease. Chemotherapy and other cancer treatments can cause neuropathy.

-- No known cause. A way of expressing the fact that the exact cause is unknown.

Furthermore, no one appears to have a solution.

Your nerves are in dire need of these two essentials.

It is believed that a deficiency of Thiamine, often known as Vitamin B1, in the body is the root cause of neuropathy produced by heavy alcohol consumption. The disease Beriberi was first associated with thiamine in 1937, however its importance to nerve health has been known for a long time.

Vitamin B1's effects on nerves have been recognized for some time, but it was only very recently that research demonstrated that neuropathy is exacerbated by a lack of vitamin B12, which promotes and regenerates nerve cells and protects nerve cell sheathing.

The water-soluble complexes of vitamins B1 and B12 do not remain in the body for very long, which is a real bummer. In comparison to less than half a percent of vitamin B12 taken orally, thiamine is excreted from the body in four to five hours. Without this vitamin, nerve cells are not adequately protected, and getting enough of it is nearly impossible.

Is it possible, then, that nerve damage can be repaired with the help of B1 and B12 vitamins?

Possibility of benefit outweighs suffering

Anxiety was setting up for Pete. As the neuropathy spread quickly across his feet, the dose levels of Neurontin® were no longer effective.

How was this going to end up? Plus, the most crucial part is...

Was it possible to put a stop to it? Was there a real remedy available? Somewhere, maybe?

Looking into the effect of vitamin B1 in curing neuropathy, Pete discovered that there is some active medical study, but little is known.

However, he made a new discovery afterwards. Because they were water soluble and didn't stay in the body long enough to have an impact, researchers in the medical field concentrated on B1 and B12.

If only the body could hold on to them for a longer period of time 

Keep going, and you never know what could happen.

Pete found out that there was a chance that B1 and B12 vitamins might be stored in the body for an extended period of time, which could be therapeutic for nerve injury. Instead of being water soluble, it only needed to be in an oil soluble form.

For as long as there has been chemistry, the adage "like dissolves like" has held sway. It is well-established that polar and non-polar compounds are the two main categories of chemistry. In most cases, the former dissolve in water, whereas the latter are soluble in oil.

When compared to polar, water-soluble compounds, oil-soluble substances are more readily absorbed and stored by the body.

Vitamin B1 in its new form, benfotiamine, is more bioavailable than thiamine, and methylcobalamine, or methyl B12, is both bioavailable and helpful in repairing nerves.

Patients with Peripheral Neuropathy, especially those whose symptoms manifest in the extremities, may find a viable alternative in their combined treatment options.

AND MORE THAN THAT

Beyond pain medication, Pete required additional assistance. Unfortunately, he was unable to discover a treatment that would "heal" his ailment by conventional medical means.

It became increasingly impossible for the existing medications to accomplish anything beyond block or "manage" Pete's discomfort as his condition deteriorated.

There are vitamin treatments that show promise...but Pete was hesitant to give them a shot. He stubbornly believed that the murky realm of medical quack medicine had the key to any "alternative" remedy for a health issue.

Furthermore, he failed to grasp the fact that alternative remedies were stigmatized as "quackery" by a pharmaceutical-driven industry whose whole survival hinges on the public's growing reliance on drugs, rather than genuine treatment.

However, there are alternatives that are effective and do not come with the negative side effects that are common with traditional drugs.

Vitamin treatments derived from oil-soluble B complexes are founded on solid medical principles and provide great promise for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy. These therapies are known to have a powerful function in repairing damaged nerve cells and do not cause any adverse effects.
