Neuropathy is the disease of the nervous system.
Many people who have had diabetes for a while also suffer from nerve damage.
The three major forms of nerve damage are: peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and mononeuropathy.
The most common form is peripheral neuropathy, which mainly affects the feet and legs.
Whatever the type of your neuropathy the main cause is fundamentally the same your nerve cells are starved of oxygen.
There is NO Oxygen in Your Nerve Cells – The Mystery is Solved!
It doesn’t matter what caused your neuropathy:
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Postherpetic neuralgia
- Sciatica
- HIV/AIDS
- Cancer or its treatment
- Repetitive strain injury
- Trauma (e.g. surgery, amputation)
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Post-amputation pain (phantom limb pain)
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Spinal cord injury
- Stroke
- Multiple sclerosis
- Brain or spinal cancer
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Parkinson’s disease
The root of neuropathy is always the same; oxygen starvation (anoxia).
This means that parts of your nerves become starved of oxygen, so in order to survive they save oxygen by shrinking in size this results in an enlarged gap (synaptic junction) between nerve cells.
Eventually the gap becomes so big that nerve cells can’t make contact with each other.
When this happens a nerve impulse has to ‘jump’ across nerve cells. When the gap becomes too big the electrical nerve impulse can’t make the transition.
Just like the spark plug in your car or lawn mower, if the gap becomes too big, the spark cannot jump across and make the connection.
The nerve impulses gather together until they’re big enough to violently ‘jump’ the gap.
You know when this happens because you feel a shooting pain.
Due to this impairment there isn’t a proper connection to your brain, so the brain perceives these blocked nerve signals as numbness. This leads to the blood vessels in your skin acting irrationally and you’ll feel a burning or tingling sensation.
Sadly, the neuropathy disorders can get progressively worse eventually leading to amputations and gangrene.
Prescription pain killers such as; Neurontin (Gabapentin), Cymbalta, Lyrica, Amitriptyline, Oxycodone, etc… only numb the nerve roots at spine level, they have no effect on the (peripheral) nerves in your arms and legs.
This numbness means the brain can’t perceive the pain and after a while when the body becomes accustomed to the dosage you have to increase the amount regularly for it to have any effect on the body.
This can often reach a level where extreme numbness is experienced as well as fuzzy thinking and loss of proprioception (knowing where your feet are in time and space).
These symptoms can imitate Alzheimer’s disease and further complicate your medical condition.
BUT! Did You Know That Our Nerves Are Electrical By Nature?
Nerves respond to specific electrical stimulation and this is exactly what they need in order to heal themselves.
Imagine if you could give your nerves the exact electrical signal they crave without prescription drugs or surgery – using an FDA approved product that promises to give you instant results.
