Neuropathy treatment that works for me.

[Jhonie]

If anyone has suffered from neuropathy here is a treatment that I have tried out the past two days and it works. I actually fell right to sleep last night and still have no pain this morning.

I searched the web for bad side affects and found none. I hope it keeps working. I slept a full eight hours and it was wonderful.

Jhonie, please tell us what exactly has changed after taking baking soda, so that you were able to sleep.

Thank you

The bottom of my feet burned with constant prickly pain and ache up to my knees, and shooting pain like a small hot needles. It was mostly when lay down to sleep or nap. My sleeping patterns were all haywire. I went back to sleep after I posted and just woke up. My hands hurt all the time.

When I went to bed last night no pain or numbness or sensitivity. My hands and feet felt completely normal.

Right now feet and hands are slightly numb. Just now started drinking my morning treatment. I am not calling this a cure but it sure helps. Have to admit weed was a big help but I gave that up because I want to get a job and must pass a drug test.

So far no water retention. My ankles are nice and thin.

Next will be a three day fast to burn up all the sugar in my body. Darn I guess I have to give up carbs altogether, except for a teaspoon of raw, organic honey a day.

Edit. I want to add that I was doing just fine until I had some dental work done. The glue that held the temporary caps on turned my stomach to acid and got my ph balance all off kilter. I became allergic to everything and it took weeks to get back to normal.

I must say, though, that all that sodium can raise your blood pressure very quickly. (from the baking soda) Keep us posted.

Good news. I don't need the baking soda anymore. Last night my body told me it didn't want anymore. I semi fasted today and my body is back to normal. No pain, itching or numbness at all. So the baking soda helped when I needed it but now I don't. It isn't something I would want to use every day.

Edit: My body did retain water eventho my ankles were thin. I have been going all day and my pants are baggy again.

I must say, though, that all that sodium can raise your blood pressure very quickly. (from the baking soda) Keep us posted.

In my estimation, such a rise in blood pressure is due to an imbalance of sodium and potassium. Most of us have diets too low in potassium. The proper remedy to being sensitive to sodium is not to reduce the sodium, but raise the potassium.

If you look at the periodic table, you see that sodium and potassium are both in the first column, having one electron in the outer orbit. They are like Lego blocks with a single bump. The sodium atom is the smaller of the two, so it's outer bonding electron is closer to its nucleus, and it bonds more strongly (it presents its positive nucleus more closely to the other binding molecule or atom.) The potassium atom is the larger of the two, and bonds more weakly. Quite a few interesting chemical reactions in the body proceed by interchanging sodium and potassium, back and forth, at the same place, varying the strength of the bond.

The body prefers to keep an inner balance of potassium and sodium. But our modern diets, except for the banana addicts, is heavily imbalanced, with more sodium than potassium. Increase your potassium intake to remedy this.

My water mix (what I add back into my water, after many steps of filtration, RO, and distillation) includes 3 parts of potassium bicarbonate to 1 part sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). But it also includes 4 parts of RealSalt (similar to Himalayan Salt, only from Utah), so the end result is roughly an even balance of sodium and potassium.

My water mix, just one of many steps I take in preparing my water, has quite a few other water soluble minerals as well. I should write it up some day.

I've come to suspect that carbonated beverages and water (seltzer water), using CO2 gas, are a cheap knock off for "real" water, energy and mineral rich water. My drinking water bubbles when I pour it, and is unusable for boiling for tea, as it bubbles way too much. No CO2 needed.

Such water however cannot be consumed with food. It's quite alkaline, and fights the stomach's efforts to acidify food. So I have a big glass in the morning, before eating, or after I've not eaten for a couple of hours.

I used to get my potassium bicarbonate from wine making suppliers, but now I get it from nuts.com.

Thanks Paul, I eat a lot of bean soup, which I make myself, bananas, dried prunes. So it makes sense I need some baking soda to balance. Nutrition is so complex I usually just let my body tell me what it wants. I am currently back on baking soda but only 1/4 teaspoon a day first thing in the morning. I let go of coffee, milk and sugar, and replaced it with green tea. Feeling better and no more neuropathy.

I really feel the dental work poisoned me.

Edit. Right now I am craving pecans.
