Amyloidosis (a metabolic disorder) and Neuropathy (nerve damage)

Amyloidosis is a metabolic disorder, a defect of metabolism.

Metabolism is the chemical reactions that happen in living organisms to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments.

Metabolic Disorder

Amyloidosis is where a protein called amyloid is deposited in tissues and organs.

Amyloidosis disease can affect the spleen, lymph nodes, kidney & liver. Other organs can also be involved. This typically happens in connection with frequent communicable or inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis or osteomyelitis (bone infection). Treating the main disease is necessary to stop the amyloidosis.

Symptoms may be different from person to person but the common symptoms are bone lesions, irregular heartbeat, difficulty swallowing, swollen legs, and/or ankles, tingling in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy) enlarged tongue, chronic arthritis, nerve damage (neuropathy), heart damage, weakness, shortness of breath, kidney damage, numbness (neuropathy), diarrhea, chronic fatigue, weight loss, abnormal hair loss, skin changes, and respiratory failure.

Neuropathy & Amyloid Deposits

These amyloid deposits can form on nerves throughout the body, leading to injury and nerve dysfunction.

Amyloidosis can affect peripheral sensory, motor or autonomic nerves and deposition of amyloid lead to degeneration and dysfunction in these nerves.

Treatment for Neuropathy

There are many medications, and other remedies to bring relief, you can read it in this article Neuropathy Treatments

Building Healthy Nerves*

Healthy sensory nerves mean that they are not painful. Healthy nerves mean that they communicate and don’t send wrong signals such as burning, hot and cold, tingling when there is no reason for it. Healthy motor nerves mean that they relay messages from the brain to the muscle so that they move correctly. Nerves need to be healthy to function properly.

The body needs specific nutrients (vitamins) to be able to build healthy nerves.

It may not give immediate relief (although many do feel changes in the first week) as the vitamins are working at a cellular level, but it does address the actual problem, builds healthy nerves and brings lasting relief.

Addressing Metabolic Disorders 

Do you want a Healthy Metabolism?

Your Gut & Your Metabolism 

One of the things that leads to deficiencies and tired adrenals can be your metabolism.

When it comes to behavior, focus, or emotional ups and downs, most of us are told that we should look at the brain first. Science research, however, now shows the brain isn’t working alone.

In fact, your child’s gut, often called the “second brain,” plays a big role in how they feel, how they react, and other responses.  This is because the gut and brain are connected by a powerful communication system, often referred to as the gut-brain axis.

When the gut is out of balance, everything from mood to meltdowns can be affected. Studies have shown that a large percentage of people with these symptoms experience issues related to this gut and their metabolism
