For what every ails you, , a person has only a few choices about what to do about it..

What a drug does is it forces the body to do something that it normally wouldn't do.. When it comes to a medication, the body reacts in certain ways to this medication and it is done in order to achieve a desirable effect. For instance, in order to balance itself and handle the effects of a drug, the body has to lower its blood pressure. If this is what you want to happen because its a blood pressure medication, it's a good thing. However, there are also various other ways the body can react to the drug and sometimes this is not such a good thing - this is called a "side effect". It is the reason someone can wind up on 4 blood pressure medications. Each drug is given in an attempt to balance another drug so as not to create the various side effects of the other drugs. It is a balancing act.

What a nutritional supplement does is give the body the actual tools it needs to fix the body.

In the case of neuropathy, it is the nerve cell that is damaged. The body needs certain tools (nutritional factors) to do this repair. Drugs don't repair anything; they treat the symptom, not the cause of the problem.

As with our example of blood pressure, if they don't know what is causing the high blood pressure, the drug just lowers it artificially. the supplement doesn't force the blood pressure low, but addresses the cause of high blood pressure and brings your body into better balance, and the blood pressure goes to normal.

The cause of nerve damage is known - it can be the result of too much sugar in the blood, the chemicals used in cancer treatments, injury to the nerve, etc. - but one thing is known, the damage is done to the cell and this causes the pain.

You can cover this up with pain killers, or with other drugs that are manufactured to handle this, but the drugs aren't repairing anything. They are trying to forces the body to not give you pain, not give you numbness, etc., And sometimes more damage to the nerve cell might happen due to the drug or other drugs you are taking,

Nutritional supplements are actually vitamins and minerals that the body needs to repair the cells. The body needs certain nutrients to function properly.

In the case of neuropathy, there are specific ingredients needed by the body to repair the cells. These are the supplements you want to take.

Another difference is that if you are taking a drug and just covering up symptoms, you have to continue to take the drug to get relief and sometimes even have to increase the drug to get the same relief.

If you take natural supplements, the body can fix the problem, and as long as you don't do anything to damage the cells again, there is an end to taking the supplements.

A diet rich in fiber has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood sugar in diabetics. Many diabetics can significantly lower their blood sugar, and as a result, reduce their diabetic and cholesterol medications or stop taking them altogether, by eating lots of high fiber foods.

A recent study published in the May issue of The New England Journal of Medicine found that blood sugar levels were reduced by 8.9% on a high fiber diet. It also lowered cholesterol and triglycerides.

Fiber comes from the cell walls of plants. Additionally, fiber and water work together to keep the bowels regular.

Unfortunately, the majority of high fiber foods also contain a high amount of carbohydrates, and if you are diabetic, those will increase your blood sugar levels dramatically.

Below are lists of low-carb foods that are also high in fiber, along with the approximate number of grams of fiber they contain.

The fiber content shown is for a quantity of 1/2 cup.

Including more of the above foods in your diet will help in lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

You should make changes to your diet to include more high fiber foods, and do it gradually. Just add a few grams at a time so that your digestive system can adjust.

It’s best to increase the amount of fiber in your diet over several weeks. This prevents problems with stomach-aches, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.

What are the types of neuropathy and how do they effect the symptoms someone feels

When people think of neuropathy, they usually think of diabetic neuropathy, and sometimes neuropathy that is induced by chemotherapy (CIPN) But there are many types

Here is a list of all the various things that can cause nerve damage in a person. There are many reasons which may cause neuropathy and it is sometimes a combination of reasons.

A Simple Yet Effective Way To Lower Blood Sugar & Insulin Spikes After Eating High Carbohydrate Meal

This information is offered as a solution for those times when a diabetic, because of social reasons, a party, or special occasion, will be eating more carbohydrates than would normally be eaten.

A study done in Sweden in 2001 showed that blood sugar spikes were held in check when pickles preserved in vinegar were consumed immediately after a high-carbohydrate breakfast. Earlier Swedish research indicated that vinegar might help control blood sugar spikes.

As a result of the earlier research, Carol S. Johnston, Ph.D., from the Department of Nutrition at Arizona State University, created a study to put vinegar to the test on three groups of subjects: ten type 2 diabetics, 11 subjects who showed symptoms of pre-diabetic insulin resistance, and eight subjects with normal insulin sensitivity. None of the subjects were taking any diabetes medications.

Subjects were randomly assigned to consume the apple cider vinegar or a placebo drink. Two minutes later, each subject ate a meal consisting of a white bagel with butter and a glass of orange juice, containing approximately 90 grams of total carbohydrates. Blood samples were collected before the meal, and 30 minutes and 60 minutes after the meal.

Dr. Johnston and her team reported several significant results:

And here's the most surprising result: Pre-diabetic subjects (insulin resistant) who drank vinegar actually had lower blood glucose levels than subjects with normal insulin sensitivity who also drank vinegar.

Dr. Johnston notes that vinegar dietary supplements may not be useful for managing glucose and insulin spikes associated with meals as they don't contain acetic acid [ acetic acid: a colorless acid with a pungent odor that is the main component of vinegar ] — the key ingredient she feels is responsible for vinegar's effectiveness.

Apple cider vinegar is another vinegar that works well. It is recommended that the typical apple cider vinegar product carried by large grocery chains carry be avoided. Instead, look for raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, usually available at many health food stores.

To make a quantity of your own salad dressing just mix one part oil (or water) to two parts vinegar. Condiments such as garlic and/or onion powder, salt and pepper, should be added to taste.

Three tablespoons of this type of salad dressing will supply you with the two tablespoons of vinegar needed for the above results.

I wanted to let you know that in addition to the Nerve Support Formula we have a product that can further assist in reducing pain caused by neuropathy. It is also effective in reducing or getting rid of muscle pain, back pain, head and neck pain, pain caused by arthritis, minor injuries, and much more.

The WSN Pain Relief Formula is a topical spray applied to the outside of the body. With two or three sprays most people see a reduction or complete elimination of their pain within ten to fifteen minutes without any side effects.

Don't settle for habit-forming pain medications or over-the-counter drugs when you can relieve pain safely and effectively.

Here is what some customers are saying about the WSN Pain Relief Formula:

***************************

"Pain Relief Spray is genuinely a one of a kind and should not be confused with other so-called pain relievers. I have used it in a variety of ways and experienced results every time... pain due to muscle tension, arthritis, and even a migraine! It immediately handled the pain."

From Laurie Cambique

***************************

"I've been using the WSN Pain Relief Formula for about a year. I don't use it daily, but when the neuropathy in my lower legs and feet flares up during the night, it's been a life saver. The pain doesn't completely disappear, but it allows me to make it through the night.

"Most recently my shoulder and neck were causing such pain all the way down my arm and into my hand, and the neuropathy was giving me fits. The last time I checked the clock, it was 2 am, and I was still tossing and turning and hadn't been able to fall asleep. I got up and sprayed my legs and feet, and decided to try it on my neck and shoulder. I went back to bed and was asleep in 15 minutes for the rest of the night. Wish I could get it by the gallon."

From V. Simons in California

***************************

"My mom has very bad arthritis in her knees. Now I have her using Pain Relief Spray on a regular basis and she can walk and bend without her normal pain. It's the real answer to aches and pains!"
