Causes and Treatment of Diabetic Nerve Pain (and other causes of Neuropathy)

Do you want to know what causes the nerve damage and thus diabetic nerve pain?

Just tell me what to take

Give me a longer explanation for all types of neuropathy

Diabetic nerve damage and the pain is caused by too much sugar in the blood.  The sugar hurts the nerve cell outer sheath.

Peripheral nerve cells have three main parts: cell body, axons, and dendrites (or terminal).. (See diagram below)  

Nerve damage normally occurs when the outer sheathing or the myelin (protective covering) of nerve cells degenerate.  This is similar to an electrical wire that is covered with insulation, and the insulation is beginning to crumble.  Without insulation the unprotected wire will start short-circuiting.  

                                       

This short-circuiting will cause all the unpleasant and painful sensations that people who are suffering from nerve pain go through. 

Diabetics will suffer from this nerve pain  and it is a major complication of the disease.  It is the higher than normal sugar levels that creates the damage.  It is an acquired disease.

Natural Health Treatment for Nerve Pain:  

Most diabetics who have this nerve pain are only treating the symptoms of the nerve damage and not the cause of  the problem.  

Many medications, such as Cymbalta and Lyrica, given for this problem only attempts to cover up the pain.  Sometimes the medications actually makes the problem worse due to side effects of the drug given.   This can cause more problems instead of correcting the problem.   For information on the side effects of Cymbalta and the side effects of Lyrica go to Drugs.com Cymbalta (also called Duloxetine) and Drugs.com Lyrica. (also called pregabalin).

Other electronic devices (infrared) that merely heat the feet have been tried unsuccessfully

The only way to correctly manage this diabetic nerve pain  is to address the real causes, not the symptoms.  The body will heal the nerve if it is given the correct tools to do so.  The correct tools are specific nutrition needed.  What are they?  Read on.

It has been known for some time that increased levels of Thiamine (vitamin B1) in the blood stream are very effective in reducing and reversing nerve pain. It is needed by the body to heal the nerve damage. 

Unfortunately, the oral intake of vitamin B1 does not greatly increase the levels of B1 in the blood stream. Previously, intravenous feeding or injections directly into blood stream every few weeks were needed to increased levels of B1.

The reason methods like this had to be used is that Thiamine (sometimes spelled Tiamine), like all of the B vitamins, is water-soluble. Thiamine cannot be stored in the body and flushes out within 4 to 5 hours. Oral intake of Thiamine over 5 mg results in greatly reduced bioavailability (available for the body to use) and immediate flushing from the body (this is why urine frequently turns yellow when taking larger doses of B vitamins).

Neuropathy has also been found to be caused and made worse by deficiencies of vitamin B12 in the body. Vitamin B12 supports the sheathing that protects nerve cells and has shown in studies that it promotes the regeneration and growth of nerve cells.

In the past it has been difficult to remedy this deficiency. The reason for this is that while vitamin B12 is readily stored by the body, it is not readily absorbed by the body. For this reason much larger amounts have been used in supplementation, but even large oral dosages have not been an adequate solution.

Keep reading, there is a solution:

The most common type of vitamin B12 used in supplements is called Cyanocobalamine. Taking Cyanocobalamine can result in absorption of as little as 1/2 of 1% of the amount taken, which makes it almost impossible to get enough of this vitally important vitamin.

In addition to the very low absorption, the body must convert the Cyanocobalamine (which cannot be used by the body) to a form of vitamin B12 the body can use called Methylcobalamine. Unfortunately, as the body gets older it loses this ability to convert Cobalamine to Methylcobalamine.

For the above reasons, as people get older, many physicians recommend regular monthly injections of vitamin B12 to maintain adequate body levels or to replenish greatly depleted stores of this vital nutrient.

A Remedy for this Problem: 

You might have heard of the new type of vitamin B1 being produced, called Benfotiamine. It is a fat-soluble version of vitamin B1. What does this mean?  It means this new form of vitamin B1 can be taken orally in large dosages and it will not flush out of the body the way ordinary Thiamine (vitamin B1) does.

The result is that by taking Benfotiamine the blood stream levels of vitamin B1 can now be greatly increased, nutritionally supporting the body to rapidly and effectively decrease or eliminate the symptoms of nerve damage. 

Also available is Methylcobalamine (called Methyl B12). This is the form of vitamin B12 that can be directly utilized by the body and is available in the quantities nutritionally needed by the body to repair itself. Methyl B12 can be taken orally and is immediately available to the body much like injectable vitamin B12.

Where can I find these supplements?

RECOMMENDED:  (This is where we have researched products and found one that we know will work for you.) 

The vitamins talked about above are available together.  The name of the product is  “Nerve Support Formula”   It contains both Benfotiamine and Methyl B12. The result is that the blood stream levels of vitamin B1 and vitamin B12 can be greatly increased, providing the nutritional support needed by the body to rapidly and far more effectively to decrease or eliminate the symptoms of diabetic nerve pain  by repairing the nerve damage that was done. 

Reports are that someone previously using just the Benfotiamine reported a lessening of their symptoms within 4 to 7 days. The  “Nerve Support Formula” is far more effective than either the Benfotiamine or Methyl B12 alone.

Both Benfotiamine and Methyl B12 have been shown to be non-toxic and without any side effects even in very high dosages.  They do not interfere with any other medications being taken. 

These brand of vitamins have a 90 Day money back guarantee and the company who makes it also has a live support line.  This money back guarantee means that you can buy 1, 2 or 3 bottles (up to three months worth) and return them if this doesn't work for you.  They  have consultants that will  guide you through whatever you need to do to get relief.  They don't just sell you a vitamin.  

Sounds too good to be true.  We researched it and found that they have a 85-90% success rate.    How fast does it work? Well, that depends on the individual's genetics and the severity of the nerve damage.  However, people have gotten relief in as little as two weeks.    Some take longer, due to the fact that this remedy is actually giving the body what it needs to heal the body.
It allows the body to actually repair the nerves.   And they have histories of people with severe nerve damage who experience relief from their pain. 

They have lots of great success stories. that you can read, just click the link

* Feeling cold, burning or pain in the hands, feet or legs.
* Extreme sensitivity to touch, even a light touch.
* Sharp pains or cramps.
