Will these tips help peripheral neuropathy caused by a back injury? My sciatic nerve bundle was crushed to the point that the doctor described it as a ragged typewriter ribbon.
From Australia I was struck down with this over fifty years ago and there was only ten known cases in the world. I was one one of them. I lost the use of my legs was put into hospital. I was given injections of vitamin b. I was told I would not walk again but I walked out of the hospital with difficulties. I had lots of numbness and pins and needles for over twelve months. Although I have damaged nerves in both legs I am still walking around and I am in my eighties. I also lost the reflexes in my knees.I just want to encourage those who are going through this to not give up keep fighting. I was determined I was going to walk out of the hospital and I did. At that time I also had three young children and that gave more determination to beat it.
All I was given was vitamin b and just for two weeks. At first they thought I had a brain tumour but that was ruled out. I was not given any help of any kind after I left the hospital, I had to fight it on my own with the help of my wonderful husband. It was difficult for me to move about with a lot of feeling not there. I think you would be given better follow up care today. I have to say I thank God that I have the use of my today as I am in my eighties now and still have very good balance. I do hope people who are going through this are getting much better help today.
@@jeancaust9762 It is wonderful to hear from you, and that you are still healthy at your advanced age. Somehow your body has been able to heal itself after the injections. A poor diet can cause B12 deficiency's like a lack of animal products. I'm from the Netherlands and approaching my 50’s. My mother has lived to her teenage years in WA but her immigrant parents had to return to Holland due to illness. She's 74 and still 'younger' than her mother at the same age. Many western people today will not live till their 80's healthy if at all, the Western diet being the culprit. I'm interested to hear your opinion about the modern Western diet vs the diet prior to this time of overconsumption of sugars, starches and ultra processed food. What are the main differences?
@@jeancaust9762 sorry to hear how you were treated at the time. I'm sure the follow up care nowadays will be much better. However budget cuts in the Netherlands force elderly people to live on their own way beyond their ability. It's heartbreaking. So times have changed but not always for the better
I have 40 years of clinical experience {MD] both EM/Forensic miedicine…ALL OF YOUR ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Keep up the great work!
I appreciate the validation on this . There are soiio many videos to watch it can be confusing if you aren't a medical professional with a medical dictionary handy . Most are good if your a DOCTOR but for the rest of us it just frustrating trying to comprehend everything . I'm happy to know I found a helpful one with sensible recommendations
@@aprilgarcia4523neuropathy in and of itself can be cured, nerves can replace themselves, and the tiny ones affected by this condition are the easiest nerves to recover. The issue comes in that the underlying causes damage cells faster than the body can heal them. So, your neuropathy will heal itself with no further intervention on your part if you can solve the causing condition (ramping up your vitamin D and various B complexes can improve your body's overall recovery speed). Neuropathy in and of it self is a secondary condition caused by a primary factor and it is itself more of symptom of something else than a condition all on its own (the vast majority of the time). Those cases without a known cause, Idiopathic Neuropathy, are very rare and almost always figured out to be rooted in some form of autoimmune if Diabetes and Hepatitis are ruled out.
I was suicidal due to the pain via neuropathy but with intermittent fasting and cutting down on carbs and sugar (maybe %50 less) I've been pain-free for a year and a half so far.
That's true - pain caused by peripheral neuropathy or Neurapathic Pain can drive a person to be suicidal. I'm doing everything I can to steer my mind away from any suicidal thoughts but Chronic Pain can be intolerable.
Diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy after chemotherapy for lymphoma. Agonising pain in my feet and hands with numerous other issues such as GERD, lack of sleep etc. Several doctors and consultants could only prescribe classical painkillers at best, I tried them all and nothing touched the pain. It got to the point I wished the cancer had killed me. Someone suggested eating more red meat to raise my low testosterone and I accidentally ended up almost cutting out everything ELSE that was giving me issues. Very soon I was full carnivore, 16/8 fasting and feeling better than before chemo. My feet were almost pain free in 3 weeks, my GERD was gone in less than a week, my sleep was back to 6 hours at least and instead of being physically exhausted I was mountain biking with my son again. I'd spent two fricking YEARS wishing I'd died because of UK healthcare incompetence at every level.
Thank you so much for sharing it means alot for those who are suffering with same issue, I have just started have heat waves in my feet it lasts about 0.30 to 1 minute, and pain in the toes
That’s exactly the problem I have . It’s been 10 years+. Chemo that’s hard for lymphoma is strong , heavy metal, cisplatin , spinal cord compression by tumor exacerbates the problem. But now correlating all the events, I think chemo have the most to do with the neuropathy I have.
I REALLY appreciate that you give excellent, common sense information without trying to sell something. As soon as I see that on a video, I turn it off. I’m tired of constantly being a potential customer, instead of being treated as a human being.
Dr. Berry, I've been on Keto and Carnivoire since December (7 months) and my peripheral neuropathy is better. I have better feeling on the bottom of my feet, but after watching your video, I realized that there is one thing I totally forgot about. For about the last 15 years, I've had a terrible pain in the big toe on my right foot. I know that is hard to believe. The pain in my big toe was so bad it was disabling. It was hard to walk and hard to drive a car. I just realized after 7 months on Keto, that I don't have that severe pain in my big toe anymore. I haven't had that pain in several months. My big toe feels so normal that I just forgot about it. That's pretty amazing what Keto did. (also fasting sugar is between 90 and 104, only 1 metformin a day, and I've lost 45 pounds since Christmas)
Hi Dr. Barry, long story short I’ve been dealing with mind crushing PN for almost 4 years. Your video gave me hope, lessened my despair and let me know that there was at least one Dr. (You) who understands. Less than a year ago I found this video and asked you about fasting and Keto diet. I absolutely love both. Neither actually helped reduce my PN symptoms. Finally some labs confirmed my initial suspicions of an autoimmune disorder. Thank you for being a light for those of us in a dark place.
Try the lion diet, it is the strictest meat diet but it worked on stopping all my fibromyalgia symptoms and gave me back my life in just two weeks. It's hard at first but it's much better than feeling sick and in pain all the time. The lion diet is more proper for the people suffering from autoimmune disease.
it's horrible! to the point of distraction! it keeps you awake at night, drives you crazy when the weather is bad, makes you suddenly able to understand why some people would almost prefer to get their bits amputated! Been looking for real help for 1.5 yrs now... very few things make it tolerable. BEGGING for help! Everywhere you look, everyone says, "it can't be reversed"... You're the first person who explained the glycation and phagocytosis process and how it works together to damage the nerves... everything everyONE else just implies... "well it's like it just rusts and there's no recovery for it"... it's worth waiting for the pain to go away if there's HOPE that the tiny nerve endings can regenerate, even if it takes... like you said, months, or more... Thanks so much for the reminder that nerves CAN heal!
@@juniorlee-bc1fu I would strongly suggest looking into the carnivore diet as a healing mechanism it has done wonders for me along with benfotiamine (a synthetic b1 supplement that stays in your system longer than natural niacin) A friend of mine who is an orthopedic surgeon was glad I decided on the benfotiamine as well as the carnivore diet. Nowadays most of my pain is when the weather is extreme, normal days I actually have good relief and can get on the treadmill again! it's amazing! I wish you the best of luck!
I just got diagnosed with PN about 7 months ago. I was told it was from a B12 deficiency. My numbness goes from my feet up to above my waist. I’m glad I came across your channel.
Eat pork meat or pork liver. It has the type of thiamine is used for the nerves to rebuilt. Don’t buy thiamine because that is hydro soluble and the nerves would not be able to absorb it. Change your diet. Go to carnivore diet, no keto diet. All the veggies, seeds and nuts have carbs. Don’t eat bread, any made with flour. No sugar , no rice or pasta. Coffee and tea depletes absorption of B1. No alcohol either. Your pain, in just one month into carnivore diet will improve spectacularly.
I had the same issue 5 years ago. I had very low B12 in my blood tests. I’m non diabetic PN. That means they don’t know why I have it. I take a big dose of B12 every day with D3 and K2. It got about 50% better over the next few years. It solved most of the pain and pins but the numbness was still there. I went carnivore a year ago and started intermittent fasting. I have improved by 50% in my nerve damage. All in all I have 90% improvement in pain and 60% improvement is nerve damage/ lack of feeling in my legs. It didn’t get better fast. It’s been a marathon. I’ve also lost 50 lbs and solved high BP and sleep apnea too. Wasn’t planning on that.
@@leesanders1619 B1 operates the Breathing Function in the Lower Brainstem! I was involved in a ToXic Fume X-P to Pulp Mill Emissions building a New Recovery Boiler next to an operating Pulp Mill with 1000 tradesmen! Dozens of us were Booked for the Sleep Disorder Clinic! I knew already I couldn't use the plastic Tubing and Mask on the 2nd night because the Neurotoxin Ethylene oxide is used as a Plastic Softener! My discernment is the hundreds of TPD of Nitric oXide being emitted is a first cousin to Nitrous oxide Anaesthesia which impairs Cellular absorption of B12! So if a person has been put under for surgery Or dental work, Cellular absorption may be impaired! I saw a Surgeon for knee n shoulder surgery and a young brother suggested my B12 was low, needed for optimum Bursa Sac health found @ every joint! That was 6 year's ago and at times I lapse in daily B12 dosing, but if I get a jab of pain in a joint Or snapping, I take B12 and it's remedied in a very short time! Oh yes the Thiamine, B1 in a B100 supplement ended my Sleep Apnea! I'm Canadian where we're Restricted to 100mg of B1, but I've found 300/500 mg in America! I Hope this helps!
I have Trigeminal Neuralgia (the suicide disease). Within two days after going on a Keto diet I got 95% relief. Flare-ups seldomly occur and when they do they are very mild. I have gotten my life back after suffering from this horrible disease for over 14 years. Thank you Dr. Berry for all of the information you give us and all of the videos you post.
Fantastic! I’m so happy for you! I have a great healing from LCHF and OMAD. I had a virus, basically shingles that got into my head and caused lots of cranial nerve damage and meningitis. It nearly killed me, hurt badly and caused brain damage. I slept around the clock for two years. I knew that the ketogenic diet had some effect on the brain and was being used for epilepsy in children. I researched and went from there. I’m so much better now.
I have numbness in my right hand three fingers. Started carnivore three weeks ago. And now it’s actually waking me up at night. It’s almost if the nerves are coming back to life, causing some pain. I feel confident I can overcome it. Down 30 lbs already and my overall joint pain is down 90%.
How is it going? My mom has the exact same thing, she’s diabetic and refuses medication, they put her on probably a very high dose of Metformin few years ago and she felt really bad taking the first few days that she stopped it completely. In her case, I believe is related.
Two things have helped me, first I use some compression socks in the evening. They give temp pain relief. Second that has helped reduce the severity of pain is cycling. I try and ride my bike for 20+ miles every other day. This takes about 1 1/2 hours and gives some good relief.
I have very bad neuropathies in both my feet so I do know what your talking about. I guess I can expect my neuropathies to eventually get better as I have switched to KETO on March 1st of this year and started fasting about 6 weeks ago. At least 18 hours a day most days I am OMAD and am fasting 20 hours a day and once every two weeks I do a 48 hour fast. You have been so good for me and I do thank you with all my heart, my life is getting better!
Great move! It will as long as you have the patience to stick to it. It will come, and when it does over time, you’ll wake up one day and discover it’s gone. That’s how it happened with me.
Diane continue with Keto but also learn from Sally K Norton about Oxalates, you can easily eat far too high oxalates per day eating Keto also. Transition to Carnivore - join the fabulous fb group Women Carnivore Tribe, I have learnt so much about healing.
B1 benfotiamine along with alpha lapoic acid with intermittent and prolonged fasting With a strict ketogenic diet has massively reduced inflammation in my ankles and the feeling is coming back in my toes and the bottoms of my feet the pain is gone and the sensitivity in my legs has calmed down substantially. My morning fasting glucose has come down Very much: three weeks ago I had readings as high as 169 wich had me floored. Since then my numbers have come down substantially 119 104, 96 , 100, 99 now my numbers are getting within ten points all day.
I have just one month in pure carnivore diet and the symptoms were cut at 75%. I can walk bear foot and wear soft shoes again. I can not imagine in a couple of months how good I will be.
Thank you Dr Berry. I’m in tears from watching this video(and the pain from neuropathy) and praying that I will get relief from following your instructions. May you be richly blessed.
I had peripheral Neuropathy since March of this year and was diagnosed with pre diabetes at age 26 (Im 27 now) the Keto/Carnivore diet has made my symptoms so minor that I'm able to run, hike and even sprint no diff. And my pre diabetes is null and void. Thank you to all the Keto experts out there but especially you Dr. Berry. You were the first I came across and you continue to give the truth, when the AHA refuse to admit failure! Ive gone from being a 210lbs beer gut "skinny guy" to a 145lbs man looking to gain weight through fat and protein
I had neuropathy, but doctors did not take me seriously, I walked with pain from neuropathy for three years, terrible pain, had a loss of feeling, which caused me to fall over and over again. Until I discovered for myself that my neuropathy was caused by cholesterol medication, blood pressure medication and various remedies for diabetes. Now that I have intervened MYSELF, my pain is completely gone and all feeling is back. My trust in the medical world is completely gone, they are simple quacks who have financial advantages in prescribing that medication
Practiced for 47 years, the first 24 years were frustrating. Only when I began to include diet counseling did i begin to see improvements in my patients. Reversing the typical western diet and lifestyle to a ketogenic diet did i begin to improve the quality of life of my patients. You are absolutely correct. Keep going and stay healthy.
@@HeartProbe139 Eating animal foods exclusively is carnivore diet. IF means intermittent fasting. As Dr Berry suggests here, at least 14 to 16 hours a day, or longer if you can do it.
@@yvanmontes9222 THANK YOU AND ALSO ALL THE OTHERS WHO TAKE THE TIME TO PUT YOUR EXPERIENCES AND INFORMATION HERE TO "HELP OTHERS SUFFERING WITH HORRIBLE PAIN !!! IT MAY BE THE "ONE SOLUTION" THAT CAN CHANGE THEIR LIVES !!! GOD BLESS PEOPLE "WHO CARE"
Now over 2 years into KETO diet my eating habits have completely turned my life and wifes, we are in our mid and late 60s and looking forward to more healthy years. I haven’t used the word KETO (just use healthy eating habits to describe our diet) for at least a year leaving the joint pain and sluggish feeling behind. Thanks. Your approach is not only spot on, it’s genius! Thank you and God bless you.
Thanks for your video. Surprisingly everything you discussed is this video I experienced it. I’m a diabetic type 2 for about 15 years. I’m 79 years old, had a stroke while at work in 2015. But lately in the past few years noticed more changes in my body, more so since the stroke affecting me left side. The constant tingling of the left foot/toes, the constant itch of the right ankle, constant numbness of the left hand/ fingers. Constant itch of the left testicle. I will change my diet. Thank you Doc. Serge, Surrey BC CANADA
I myself have been using a triple magnesium, and 1200 mg of alpha lipoc acid every night for over a year, my neuropathy in my feet were so bad, now its 90 percent better! My endocrinologist has been telling her patients to try it, because its worked so well for me.
I’m am on low carb /keto and lost 55 lbs and all my inflammation is gone. I have no more pain an tingling in feet. I shared this. Thanks for information
About 10 years ago, peripheral neuropathy in my feet was the first sign that my lazy and poor eating had caused type II diabetes. Very long story short, I had a very high A1C. I went no sugar/no grain, reversed the diabetes (A1C of 5.0) and have maintained that for years. The neuropathy is much better, but not completely eliminated. When I first noticed it and until I got my eating and weight controlled, there was actual pain and burning on a regular basis and discomfort all the time. Now, I just feel some very, very slight numbness, but no pain and burning and sometime not even that. Getting rid of the neuropathy is a long term thing and it may never completely resolve. Word to the wise- get your A1C under control before it starts.
have you also checked your B12 levels? Perhaps B12 can help eliminate the rest of the issues in neuropathy and you'll feel completely better......I'm so glad you've had relief on diet alone.
I have a very similar problem. 10 years with it, at this point it's just numbness and little pain sometimes, I can easily walk 5 miles, numbness is mostly at the bottom of my toes and pre toes bottom feet area, feeling is good on the top. How is yours?
@@susan3200 Hemoglobin A1C- it is a measure of average blood glucose level over the course of about 3 months. It is the primary test to diagnose type 2 diabetes. Under 5.7 is normal (no diabetes), 5.7-6.3 is "pre-diabetes" or a warning, over 6.3 is generally considered diabetes.
@@James_Hough thank you. That is very helpful. I just learned yesterday that consuming more estrogen like foods can help prevent type 2 diabetes. I'm hoping to avoid that. 🙂
The Keto diet has now saved my life... my Lymes developed into the worst possible case of peripheral neuropathy that lasted 4 years now. The pain was becoming unbearable and debilitating. Things are now reversing at a fast pace thanks to diet and B12. Thank you so much for the best information ever on this condition, and your wealth of knowledge on the subject... I wish you were my personal physician!
Absolutely! My insurance company wants me to do all these " wellness" test that require expensive copays, and I have to drive 50 miles there. The test have nothing to do with my aches and pains. Things are hard enough as it is with gas and groceries and everything else that has gone sky high.
I never understood the need to drink water and foolishly thought a few pints of beer did the trick. For years I suffered with kidney stones. But one night after a bottle of wine and a meal, I woke in terrible pain in the kidney, the stone had moved and so I knew I had to MOVE and get to casualty. I was arguing with the doctor who was telling me I was a very sick man, but I said it's the stone in the kidney and I need an injection for the pain. He informed me that normal blood sugar level is 5.8, European level, BUT yours is 84.5, that's eighty-four point five, you could have gone into a Diabetic coma if the pain from the stone hadn't made you come to the hospital. I was brought to theater and a stent inserted and brought to ICU. In a mater of days I had neuropathy in 1 foot, which progressed to the other. I was put on Insulin injections and have been for the past 15 years.
Ozempic is a dangerous drug for an older persons with neuropathy. I was prescribed Ozempic for Type II DM. I had two very dangerous falls because Ozempic aggravated orthostatic hypotension to such an extent it caused me to blackout suddenly and fall. The first fall caused a severe break in my left ankle which required surgery, and a head injury. The second fall caused a broken hip. It took weeks of hospitalization before my doctors figured out Ozempic was causing my BP to drop so low I would pass out upon standing. It took eight weeks for Ozempic to clear my system and allow me to stand up without blacking out. No one has mentioned this problem with these types of medications but it should thoroughly be explored.
Low carb really does ease this type of pain. I am 6 months in on keto lifestyle but only took the first few weeks to realise the pain in my neck, head shoulders and back was easing. 3 months in and I started weight training amazing progress as I carrying a shopping bag was painful. This pain and disability started after an accident, no meds helped and thousands spent on physio and chiropractic adjustments to ease the pain. All it took was a change in my diet. I cannot recommend this advice enough.
Absolutely. I am dealing with excruciating pain from chemo. I am on strong pain killers which one can only take a certain amount of. I am trying to relieve whatever pain I can with the help of red light therapy , sunshine and vitamin B1 in the form of benfotiamine (regular thiamine will not suffice) and vitamin B6.
@@luvwings I wished I never took chemo. I had 14 out of 16 treatments in 2020. The numbness in my arms, hands, leg and feet is awful. Keeps me from getting much sleep. Never was told about this side effect. It also caused my heart to go bad. Was in heart failure this January, the doctors saved me. I was in the hospital almost 30 days. Your health is everything.
Almost a year ago, I took a day off from work thinking that I had gout. Well, it was not gout, it was peripheral neuropathy. My toes hurt especially at night. That pain was what motivated me to look for root causes and solutions. It look me a few days to realize that it was caused by my diabetes. Out of desperation I watched a lot of UA-cam videos and tried a dietary intervention. After 3 months of cutting out processed food, and practicing time restricted eating, most of my diabetic symptoms went away. Two observations. 1. I got better in a hurry. 2. If I were to eat badly again, I will get sick again rapidly too. So, I am not "cured", but for all practical purposes this is good enough.
In other words, you went back to eating the way people did before processed foods were invented and available. Defined meals, no snacking in between, fresh and cooked vegetables daily, fruit sparingly and only locally in season, and a reasonable quantity of food consumed at each meal. Also, no sugary drinks or sugar-added fruit juices. (I can recall my grandmother saying drinking fruit juice is a waste of the fruit. If you’re having fruit, eat the whole thing.) Home baked goods were reserved for holidays, and eaten in small quantities. We now have generations of people who don’t know how to eat for good health. They can’t look to their parents because they don’t know, either. You’ve gone back to normal. I’d say you ARE cured. Congratulations!
@@suzanneemerson9787 Concerning the seasonality of fruits. When I was young, I remember eating pomelo once a year. Now I can have grapefruits that are somewhat similar to pomelo in taste all year round. I also remember that I hated oranges because they were really sour and sometimes they tasted bitter. Well, not anymore, oranges are as sweet as syrup these days.
@@roncurtis4988 I have reversed my type 2 diabetes years ago. It is not that difficult. These days if I take really good of myself, my fasting blood glucose is in the 60s. When I am stressed, it is in the 80s. Yeah, lifestyle changes are critical.
Lovely video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you heard about - Taparton Sturdy Nerves Takeover (do a search on google)? It is a great one off guide for Getting rid of Neuropathy minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my GF after many years got cool results with it.
Thank you for acknowledging pain so severe and debilitating that may lead someone to suicide most people with degrees do not. I appreciate your time in this regard. Can you please do more videos in regards to what someone can do regarding chronic pain, like nerve pain problems and over coming obstacles in recovering with this pain. God bless you Sir!
My girlfriend is suffering from peripherial apathy, I will ask her to try that and I will try it with her so she will be not alone with that lifestyle change, I really hope she will get better
I agree. But I fell 32 feet onto concrete, and was busted up into many pieces. After all of the surgeries, I was told that I would never use my left hand again, and that my left leg would always be painful at every step. I went into church, and now my left leg has grown out, and I can hang my entire bodyweight from my left hand. I can prove it. God is real. Period. .
@@j.dariorodriguez7173 God didn't "let" me fall. I was away from Him, and that was my choice. He used this to get me a lot closer to Him, and now I can help other people, if they want to hear the truth. If you don't, keep in mind that it is none of your business what I say or do.
Dr Berry is beyond the best human ever. I have been doing carnivore for 3 months and have never felt better. You are so appreaciated. Thank you for all you do.
The main source of my neuropathy has been my DISH disease and the bone spurs. I've had ACDL surgery and had some of the feeling restored, but my diabetes has only caused more trouble. Being a musician, it's devastating to lose feeling in my fingers. I'm already following the steps to reverse type 2 diabetes, so I'm hoping this helps. Thank you for everything you're doing those of us who need it. You are much appreciated. :)
Dr. Berry - All you videos are so informative that I have been in tears for the last couple of hours going through many of them. I am and Engineer by profession and naturally was relying on doctors for the ultimate machine that our souls live in and am so very disappointed for so many years! I tell my parents the same, last year we almost lost our father due to his doctor prescribing him medications which were lethal, fortunately there was an doctor at the emergency who stopped and weaned him off of all 4 of them and our young father of 93 is better than before :) ..... so there are doctors who genuinely care and there are those who make a business of the corrupted side of the profession like all professions have. You are on the ethical side, no doubt and may God bless your family, loved ones and you for ever!
My diabetic neuropathy is 100% GONE after a year of carnivore. Keto helped me lose a ton of weight and reverse diabetes, but it wasn't doing anything for my neuropathy. Don't ask me how, but cutting out the veggies and only eatting red meat gave me immediate relief and now has completely reversed my neuropathy.
Thanks Dr Berry. You are a life saver.. In 2021, I had a poor diet (LOTS of junk food binges) & was stressed out due to the extra work demands of the pandemic & living in the path of the 2020 chaos and protests. I was also the most overweight I had ever been in life. One day I suddenly had Peripheral Neuropathy all over my body that didn't go away. After seeing a doctor, they told me they had no idea what was causing it but only that it was an irreversible condition and maybe I should "lose weight" because the extra weight caused it (Doctor just guessed. I had been overweight for over a decade without these issues). Labs just showed A1C of 5.7 and cholesterol level of 211. I stumbled across this video and reversed the neuropathy within 3 months. Also lost over 100lbs switching to a keto diet with fasting. Blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol are optimal despite high protein, high fat and high sodium diet. I am awake to what Dr Berry has to say about healthcare and food industry conspiracies now.
I'm currently having this monster called peripheral neuropathy in my feet, hopefully this video will be of great help. Praise God. Mine is the burning feeling.
Dr Ken realised I was suffering from this alongside sciatica in both legs which confused the diagnosis somewhat and after wading through tons of as you say useless junk. I found this which quite honestly picked me up off the floor. It was confidence inspiring to listen to the information particularly when other health care professionals give praise to your knowledge. The mainly carnivore/low carb diet I enjoy now has helped me immensely at over 40 lbs lighter at 70yrs young has shown what can be achieved. Many thanks and good health to you and yours
This has been the singularly most helpful information I’ve found in my attempt to find biological answers to my painful PN. Thank you so much and I’ll immediately contact my doc to request those tests.
I read your name (for the first time) this month is the Woman's World magazine. Sandra Cox lost 85 pounds at the age of 80! Today I have already watched three of your videos, and I'm hooked. I feel like I have a real-life doctor advising me right in the comfort of MY office. I am so impressed! Thank you. I love everything you have said, and right now I'm going for a walk before I start the Keto way of eating. God bless you and all your efforts. You are doing a wonderful work!
As I have gotten my sugars under control and doing keto carnivore more meat, butter and fat the better it is. Also losing 50 lbs has been a blessing for my feet.
Finally, Thank you so much Dr. Berry I have been waiting on this video for 5 months now....You just make my day! Please keep making videos, you are helping so many...God Bless
This is amazing, for the past 2 nights I haven’t been able to sleep with pain in feet and legs. I come on UA-cam and one of the first items on my feed was this wonderful doctor talking about neuropathy. 💖
As a sufferer of Small Fiber neuropathy for a dozen years, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I saw a neurologist who attended the best universities for 5 years... he offered no hope, no suggestions, only meds... which did not work. I have had chronic gastro issues for most of my life so I went to Emory Neurology because they advertise a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment of neuropathy. I mentioned Dr. Perlmutter's work which found there is a relationship between gut issues and neuropathy. This must have offended the Ukrainian neurologist I was seeing because she stopped the exam and literally told me to go home and die... not once or twice but multiple times. I asked about the gastro workup and she refused to offer it. So it's refreshing to say the least to find someone as generous and as knowledgeable as you on my journey. Thank you sir.
I've described my symptoms to 3 different neurologists with no help whatsoever. I didn't even know what to call this problem (small fiber neuropathy) until researching on my own. I think my neurologists must assume my PCP has already done all the basic tests Dr Berry described, but my PCP has barely scratched the surface and has actually refused to do anything else because she believes it's my neurologists' job. Too much more of this insanity and I'll need a psychiatrist. I've wasted thousands of dollars on absolutely worthless doctors.
I too was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy. All my neurologist had to offer was a Rx for gabapentin! Really. When the autonomic symptoms appeared she decided to send me to a neurologist specializing in neuromuscular disease. It will take a least 6 months to get that appointment. This has already been 2.5 years, so now in my 70’s, I really need to figure out what to do now, not another year from now. I think I will try intermittent fasting and low carb.
I took the whole list of blood tests to my neurologist and after suffering for years.....they found I had too much Copper in my blood test! Thanks so much for helping me ! ❤ Hopefully I am on the road to recovery now 😊 I thought they had already done a heavy metals test, but maybe because I asked for both panels?
I suffer almost daily from peripheral neuropathy which I began having a few days before my 37th birthday this year. I tried Keto for a year with incredible success but slowly let carbs creep back in. A year later I began having tingling, burning, and numbness in my hands, feet, and sometimes even in my face. Some days were so bad I couldn’t focus on anything else. When I began checking my blood sugar I realized that within one year off the keto diet I was becoming a type 2 diabetic. I immediately returned to the keto lifestyle and have been strict keto for 5 months. I have good days and bad but overall my symptoms have lessened and are definitely not getting worse. I would have never let any carbs into my diet if I had known that type 2 diabetes is not about keeping your weight down. Just because I was at a healthy weight it doesn’t mean I wasn’t doing horrible, irreversible damage to my body. My blood sugars are not as low as I’d like them despite combining fasting with keto but I’m guessing it might just take time. I can’t actually lose anymore weight because I’ve met my goal and will be underweight so I’m hoping I can maintain my current weight on keto. Thank you Dr. Berry for all you do. You can save millions from suffering.
see eating carbs every single day and expecting to stay healthy it can't happen and i know quiting carb is Tough but you can do one thing like in a week you have 7 days out of 7 eat healthy for 6 days and for one day you can cheat on your diet and can eat whatever you want to.....and next day start eating healthy this way you can balance your health as well as your craving for carbs
Thank you Doctor, I thought I was just a weak individual because I had thoughts at night that if I didn't wake up the next day that would be okay, your video has given me renewed hope. Thank you soo much.
I started carnivore exactly 7 months ago, got off 9 different meds and reversed my type II diabetes. So last week neuropathy starts. I will be 65 in 5 weeks. Lot almost 50 pounds too.
My son has dealt with Peripheral Neuropathy that turned out to be from severe hashimoto's thyroiditis/hypothyroidism! Thank you for this video and for all of the information here. So many people suffer with these things and needed this desperately.
This video hit the nail right on the head for me, I came home from camping and I was having extreme itching in my feet and hands but no rash had blood test done found out. I’m prediabetic. I have changed the way I’m eating now. Thank you so much for all your information.
Thank you Dr. Berry! I have the tingling and numbness down the inside of both my legs, fortunately no pain yet. What happened is: long time low carb diet turned serious carnivore in May 2022. Went on vacation with my hubby Oct 8-15 2022 and fully off carnivore. I mean I had so much bread & sugar it was a rebellion. A day and a half later I wake up with my entire body tingling and I kept complaining to my hubby my body was so swollen. My thighs, my tummy, my face. I was stupid and kept eating that way till I got home. Started right away back on strict carnivore and felt a little improvement in less than 2 weeks. Thank the Lord. When my body was tingling all over I thought maybe a virus or something. Now, over 2 weeks back on strict carnivore, only the insides of my long legs, insides of my arms and my stomach are still super tingling & numb. *I really feel this entire experience with carnivore and then jumping of and back on has shook some sense into me. I’m so lucky enough to not have any pain this time and realize I most likely will not be so lucky if there ever is a next time. Thank you Thank you Thank you for keeping this video up!!👏👏👏👏 I feel so much better after watching this video. I feel confident if I stay on carnivore long enough I may see more improvement with my nerves. ~I had a full blood panel done just last week and everything came back normal for carnivore. The only thing they red flagged would be my ketones (2+) and of course my LDL (179) but my Triglycerides (65) to HDL (68) ratio was under 1, so YaY!!! Thank you again so much for keeping this video up!!!👏👏👏
Thank you Dr Ken for sharing your knowledge and it was amazing. Since i had a long period to this horrible disease , and had severed immensely, I realised during intermittent fasting my symptoms decreases greatly, and after consuming a meal rich in carbohydrates. The tingling(pin and needle) of the limbs reappear suddenly. I have to take charge of my body. Bravo Dr!
The most helpful video on neuropathy I have found. Especially the comment that it takes months to regrow the nerve, I was starting to think I was doing the wrong thing but after 2 months the tingling is almost gone. Don't give up, keep going and you'll also notice other health benefits. Thank you!
Two month ago my symptoms started. I just came across this video and will start on the suggested treatment right away. It gives me hope. Thank you so much.
There is " NO" CURE, I've had it for close to 30 years, I know, my dad also had it for bout 40 years before he passed a few months ago, there is NO cure.
I use a roll on Oil called OUTBACK ORIGINAL OIL. It has eucalyptus oil , tea tree oil, and other natural oils. It’s a miracle when I’m having flair ups. I’m a Dental Hygienist and tell my patients about and they come back and thank me. Not a CURE… it takes the edge off. Small compression ankle length socks are great too. Loved this video, very informative! 😊
If your on metformin you are deficient of vitamin B12 my neuropathy was helped when I took B12 while on metformin now I'm on a carnivore leaning keto diet (one year in) no longer on ANY diabetes meds!! And neuropathy is getting better !!
I started taking these Vitamins for Neuropathy: they are oil soluble forms of the vitamins and not water soluble forms so they stay in the body longer: Benfotiamine (B1) 600 mg (2 x 300 mg/day) and Methylcobalamin (B12) 5000 mcg/day. For me, they make a huge difference. When I stop taking them the neuropathy gets worse. When I start again they get better. There's no question it helps. And it doesn't show up as a deficiency in lab tests, so it isn't due to a quote unquote "deficiency."
Thank you so much for getting this out there. I discovered these remedies on my own because of Lupus and other severe AI disorders that I have been fighting for years. Tried multiple specialty clinics and all their drug concoctions to no effect. Occasional debilitating bouts of the disease required massive short turn doses of prednisone to stop the incredible pain that truly had me thinking I could not go on like this. No amount of opioid pain killers would touch it. Also debilitating neuropathy in my feet, where even a fan blowing on them was excruciating. About 18 months ago I went on the Keto diet as I was gaining weight from the prednisone and inactivity and I started feeling better with longer and longer hiatuses between severe bouts. Always there still, neuropathy still fairly severe. I started getting severe arm and leg cramps and thought I must be missing some minerals. Started with Magnesium and Potassium and things slowly improved over many months, then switched to Carnivore diet and have made much faster recovery. I'm a 72 year old male and now have limited neuropathy in my feet. I have been able to get out in the woods and cut, haul and stack 2 cords of wood in the last week. Something I thought would never seem possible 1 year ago. I always tried to stay active but was dying from autoimmune disorders.
I can relate to your experience. Word of caution with the prednisone - it caused bone death surprisingly fast for me. I was lucky I found out before having to get a joint replacement.
just bought ur book, & ive gotta say, it is probably one of the most eye opening books on nutrition & overall health ive ever read, & ive read many. thank u & god bless u dude!
Keto, Carnivore and High Dose TTFD B1 are all helpful. B1 has been used for Barri Barri, and Diabetic nueropathy for decades. Dr Berry is a great source of information. Thank you Doc.
@@joelghole4052 Found this on the net: TTFD (thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is a derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1) with high bioavailability. This form has been shown to cross the blood-brain-barrier and can bypass normal routes of thiamine absorption, with a higher rate of uptake both in the gut and at the cellular level.
Twice in my life I had nerve problems. Sciattica, and a pinched nerve. The problem migrated from the origin, to the closest joint (hip, shoulder) and then traveled to the next joint, and then the next. Finally, it reversed itself, traveling back to the next, and then the next previous joint, to the original area. Months (I think about 4 months for each) it took to do all this. No medication worked. The point to all this is: Nerve problems generally don't go away rapidly. Expect them to take awhile. Follow the Doctor's advise. He knows what he's talking about.
I knew that my keto diet fixed the burning in my fingertips after chemo for Grade 3 cancer, but didn't know it was actually "a thing". Keto is just a gift that keeps on giving!
Did you do the ice on your hands and feet when you did chemo? I am on Taxol number 5 coming up and I have very slightly noticed some tingling. I hope it doesn't worsen.
@@queue555 No, I have never heard of putting ice on your fingertips during chemo. Best wishes for your recovery journey. It's a hard slog. I wish i had known about keto and fasting while I was going through it it. I'm sure it would have helped.
@@queue555 have you started a ketogenic diet? Good luck on your journey. Ive been looking at keto and cancer videos today so theres lots of evidence improving quality of life and starving sugar based cancers. 🙏 I've met people that have reversed their diabetic peripheral neuropathy with ketosis.
Thank you doc. I have severe PN from two autoimmune diseases causing Central Pain Syndrome. 45 years of pain (but worked many of those as an ICU RN). 13 procedures later, I have a DRG Spinal Cord Simulator and an Intrathecal Pain Pump. All that and 6 months post pump, I'm still, it what I term, agony despite titration up, up, up. It seems, I'm one of the unlucky people who are not fixable. I feel for you all with this scourge.
Was waking in morning, with pain in lower legs, after T2 diagnosis in Mar '21. Found relief in Hawthorn Berry Extract 425 mg nightly. Have also been on Keto w/ IF since diagnosis. Almost to full remission of T2. Last a1c 5.8. First was 14.4.
Dr berry thank you so much for curing my 10 year old worst neuropathy 😭. I followed your low carb and intermittent fasting suggestion for 75 days and still continued. ❤ from India.
@@sreek3898 severe vitamin d difficiency which eventually cause autoimmune diseases ( psoriasis and ms ). Belive me good dosage of probiotics vitamin d3 and zinc were key for all autoimmune diseases.
thank you, i am in the UK, and for the most part my peripheral Nuropathy has been ignored, not treatment, no suggestions to help me cope with it, just get on with it, I was told that mine is a result of being born with congenital bilateral tailpies, and having many surgeries to try to correct that, i also have spinal stinosis which apparently is also a direct result of the operations to my feet and hips, again no one has ever taken the time to explain any of it to me, in fact one doctor said in a letter to my GP, " he is going to be in pain for the rest of his life and he is just going to have to get used to it" since then i don't bother them so much and just try to learn how to deal with it myself. So your video helped me to understand a little more about it and will try to follow some of your guidance, so many thanks and take care :)
Amitripyline messed me up bad. I finally weaned off of it, and have improved so much! I couldn't figure out how I bad so quickly and it was Amitripyline!!!! Withdrawal was scary, I went to ER...was really sick. But I came out on the other side. Whew!
I realized I had PN probably two years ago, several years after my diabetes diagnosis. I felt sort of pin pricks and my feet were more sensitive to pain than ever before. My feet now stay cold unless I am wearing socks, but I have been Ketovore since Aug. 2020 and I never feel the pin pricking sensation any more. Wish I had known to start sooner. Thank you Dr. B.
I've had peripheral neuropathy due to MS for over 20 years. I started out on 300mg of Neurontin per day and eventually was up to 3600mg and it still wasn't enough. I switched to 300mg of Lyrica and that helped for several years. Eventually going low carb got me to the point I could drop all meds. I still have some lingering pain but it's minor enough that it's just a background noise.
Pesticide use??? I was in pest control for 21 years. We used many Fogging pesticides, Fumigants, and all sorts of spray insecticides. I have had nueopathy for years. I had a large pelvic tumor partially removed in 2015., but both my feet have been near dead since 2011. Upon finding the large tumor just before surgery (4months prior R) my upper thighs went through a phase I call flame out as that is what it felt like for 20-30 seconds. Right leg went first and my left leg went after the partial resection of the tumor immediately after surgery while I was still in recovery. Recent EMG was not good for me. No feeling in the nerve conductivity test in my feet and just above my knees.. Your thoughts..? Thanks, great info and video.
Hi Dr Berry. I’m watching your videos from Maryland. I’m almost 74 and I have Neuropathy in my feet. They burn and cause me to unable to sleep. I’ve been on Keto for almost 7months. Thank you for these great tutorials.❤️
Although I still have pretty significant peripheral neuropathy, it became **off the chart** severe approximately 2 weeks after being on a statin! OMG! It was constant & all-consuming! I slowly returned to my baseline when I stopped the Rx. I will never, ever, ever go near a statin ever again. Wishing better days for everyone who suffers with it. I had no idea it could be so severe. 😢 (eta: it was atorvastatin)
I also got it from a statin - was on only 75 days and was riding a peloton 60-,90 120 minutes before the statin. I am 72. Now that I have gotten this - am in constant pain and can barely ride 45 minutes. My Dr had no clue on what to do with me.
I always say if criminals were punished with one week of neuropathy and or gout, they would go straight the rest of their lives..the pain is so excrutiating!
Omg Doc - you are a star - I got so depressed after watching another video where a doc says that neuropathy cant be reversed and you say it can =thank y ou doc
Family member got neuropathy in form of Guillain-Barre, 6 weeks after flu shot. Hardly went to 1 stock of his home, lost 80% of hand force. Slowly improved, almost a year.
I had occasional neuropathy flare-ups in my left foot (2-5 times per week). Within 1 week of going carnivore, it's gone completely. Also gone within a few weeks? General 'old man' joint pain, skin tags, xanthelasma (cholesterol buildup under the eye lids - gone!), BP down, energy up, etc. Why and how this diet is not recommended by every physician is mindboggling.
Thank you Dr Berry for being strait-forward truthful and to the point .. I have both peripheral and diabetic neuropathies and what you say is the absolute truth..I’ve been through them over and over for many long years . God bless you and keep up the great work… the TRUTH shall set you FREE!
I got my peripheral neuropathy - manifesting as DROP FOOT. This happened after I had hip replacement surgery - the surgery stretched my nerves in kindly trying to make sure both legs were the same length. So after 1.5 years of suffering this, I now have 50 % improvements. I didn’t like Lyricia.
Hi ! My husband is going through this right now after a hip replacement, it’s all on his left foot right now, can you tell me what did you do to get better?
Doc you are the best! All the things you said in this piece are spot on! I developed neuropathy after being diagnosed Type 2! I have since completely changed my diet (your advice) and I can feel things are starting to change! Slowly, but it’s definitely happening! I busted up the discs in my spine and thought at first I was experiencing these things because of my back! It started out with numbness or no feeling in the bottom of my feet..? So thank you for all your posts! Your honest talk is helping me a great deal! I appreciate you and the Mrs! Be well Sir!
I wish I could find a doctor like you in my area. I live in lower Michigan near Ohio. Most md’s are not very thorough and just cover the basics. Thank you for teaching us so much more about how to care for ourselves.

How come you did not mention post herpatic neuropathy and how to cure it?
.. dr eric berg mentions taking benfotiamine to help with peripheral neuropathy in fat soluble since the nerves are coated with fat..
Hello Dr. Berry, do you offer 1-on-1 consultations online? I will pay. I need a doctor that will listen to me. I hope to hear from you.
Will these tips help peripheral neuropathy caused by a back injury? My sciatic nerve bundle was crushed to the point that the doctor described it as a ragged typewriter ribbon.
From Australia I was struck down with this over fifty years ago and there was only ten known cases in the world. I was one one of them. I lost the use of my legs was put into hospital. I was given injections of vitamin b. I was told I would not walk again but I walked out of the hospital with difficulties. I had lots of numbness and pins and needles for over twelve months. Although I have damaged nerves in both legs I am still walking around and I am in my eighties. I also lost the reflexes in my knees.I just want to encourage those who are going through this to not give up keep fighting. I was determined I was going to walk out of the hospital and I did. At that time I also had three young children and that gave more determination to beat it.
Great to hear :)
Were these B vitamin injections the only treatment for your condition or did you have other treatments additionally
All I was given was vitamin b and just for two weeks. At first they thought I had a brain tumour but that was ruled out. I was not given any help of any kind after I left the hospital, I had to fight it on my own with the help of my wonderful husband. It was difficult for me to move about with a lot of feeling not there. I think you would be given better follow up care today. I have to say I thank God that I have the use of my today as I am in my eighties now and still have very good balance. I do hope people who are going through this are getting much better help today.
@@jeancaust9762 It is wonderful to hear from you, and that you are still healthy at your advanced age. Somehow your body has been able to heal itself after the injections. A poor diet can cause B12 deficiency's like a lack of animal products. I'm from the Netherlands and approaching my 50’s. My mother has lived to her teenage years in WA but her immigrant parents had to return to Holland due to illness. She's 74 and still 'younger' than her mother at the same age. Many western people today will not live till their 80's healthy if at all, the Western diet being the culprit. I'm interested to hear your opinion about the modern Western diet vs the diet prior to this time of overconsumption of sugars, starches and ultra processed food. What are the main differences?
@@jeancaust9762 sorry to hear how you were treated at the time. I'm sure the follow up care nowadays will be much better. However budget cuts in the Netherlands force elderly people to live on their own way beyond their ability. It's heartbreaking. So times have changed but not always for the better
I have 40 years of clinical experience {MD] both EM/Forensic miedicine…ALL OF YOUR ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Keep up the great work!
I appreciate the validation on this . There are soiio many videos to watch it can be confusing if you aren't a medical professional with a medical dictionary handy .

May I ask to make sure..you can reverse neuropathy?..
@@aprilgarcia4523neuropathy in and of itself can be cured, nerves can replace themselves, and the tiny ones affected by this condition are the easiest nerves to recover. The issue comes in that the underlying causes damage cells faster than the body can heal them. So, your neuropathy will heal itself with no further intervention on your part if you can solve the causing condition (ramping up your vitamin D and various B complexes can improve your body's overall recovery speed). Neuropathy in and of it self is a secondary condition caused by a primary factor and it is itself more of symptom of something else than a condition all on its own (the vast majority of the time). Those cases without a known cause, Idiopathic Neuropathy, are very rare and almost always figured out to be rooted in some form of autoimmune if Diabetes and Hepatitis are ruled out.
@@aprilgarcia4523
Yes, from the common causes, for ~80% of the people.
He listed the common causes.
I was suicidal due to the pain via neuropathy but with intermittent fasting and cutting down on carbs and sugar (maybe %50 less) I've been pain-free for a year and a half so far.
GOD bless you, for your advice, and keep the good work.
That's true - pain caused by peripheral neuropathy or Neurapathic Pain can drive a person to be suicidal. I'm doing everything I can to steer my mind away from any suicidal thoughts but Chronic Pain can be intolerable.

Diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy after chemotherapy for lymphoma. Agonising pain in my feet and hands with numerous other issues such as GERD, lack of sleep etc.
Several doctors and consultants could only prescribe classical painkillers at best, I tried them all and nothing touched the pain. It got to the point I wished the cancer had killed me.
Someone suggested eating more red meat to raise my low testosterone and I accidentally ended up almost cutting out everything ELSE that was giving me issues.
Very soon I was full carnivore, 16/8 fasting and feeling better than before chemo.
My feet were almost pain free in 3 weeks, my GERD was gone in less than a week, my sleep was back to 6 hours at least and instead of being physically exhausted I was mountain biking with my son again.
I'd spent two fricking YEARS wishing I'd died because of UK healthcare incompetence at every level.
NHS is very overwhelmed and very bad atm. It's better to go bupa for about 20quid a month
Thank you so much for sharing it means alot for those who are suffering with same issue, I have just started have heat waves in my feet it lasts about 0.30 to 1 minute, and pain in the toes
That’s exactly the problem I have . It’s been 10 years+. Chemo that’s hard for lymphoma is strong , heavy metal, cisplatin , spinal cord compression by tumor exacerbates the problem. But now correlating all the events, I think chemo have the most to do with the neuropathy I have.
I probably won’t be able to do full carnivorous diet but I can do fasting and no carb (almost). It’s challenging.
The doctors don't heal the body, the BODY does. Good for you for discovering that food can heal! Another good diet is called the GAPS diet.
I REALLY appreciate that you give excellent, common sense information without trying to sell something. As soon as I see that on a video, I turn it off. I’m tired of constantly being a potential customer, instead of being treated as a human being.
Dr. Berry, I've been on Keto and Carnivoire since December (7 months) and my peripheral neuropathy is better. I have better feeling on the bottom of my feet, but after watching your video, I realized that there is one thing I totally forgot about. For about the last 15 years, I've had a terrible pain in the big toe on my right foot. I know that is hard to believe. The pain in my big toe was so bad it was disabling. It was hard to walk and hard to drive a car. I just realized after 7 months on Keto, that I don't have that severe pain in my big toe anymore. I haven't had that pain in several months. My big toe feels so normal that I just forgot about it. That's pretty amazing what Keto did. (also fasting sugar is between 90 and 104, only 1 metformin a day, and I've lost 45 pounds since Christmas)
Good for you!! Keep going!!
💪💪💪
You should think about getting off the Metformin if your sugar levels are that good!
Metformin is protective ,some longevity experts use it as a supplement.
I always think of gout when I hear Big toe pain
Hi Dr. Barry, long story short I’ve been dealing with mind crushing PN for almost 4 years. Your video gave me hope, lessened my despair and let me know that there was at least one Dr. (You) who understands. Less than a year ago I found this video and asked you about fasting and Keto diet. I absolutely love both. Neither actually helped reduce my PN symptoms. Finally some labs confirmed my initial suspicions of an autoimmune disorder. Thank you for being a light for those of us in a dark place.
Try the lion diet, it is the strictest meat diet but it worked on stopping all my fibromyalgia symptoms and gave me back my life in just two weeks. It's hard at first but it's much better than feeling sick and in pain all the time. The lion diet is more proper for the people suffering from autoimmune disease.
it's horrible! to the point of distraction! it keeps you awake at night, drives you crazy when the weather is bad, makes you suddenly able to understand why some people would almost prefer to get their bits amputated! Been looking for real help for 1.5 yrs now... very few things make it tolerable. BEGGING for help! Everywhere you look, everyone says, "it can't be reversed"... You're the first person who explained the glycation and phagocytosis process and how it works together to damage the nerves... everything everyONE else just implies... "well it's like it just rusts and there's no recovery for it"... it's worth waiting for the pain to go away if there's HOPE that the tiny nerve endings can regenerate, even if it takes... like you said, months, or more... Thanks so much for the reminder that nerves CAN heal!
I've been severely plaque since chemo for 8 years. It's a constantly on my mind
I got neuropathy for 9 months after total knee replacement .I do not know what to do and where to go ?😅😅😅😅
@@juniorlee-bc1fu I would strongly suggest looking into the carnivore diet as a healing mechanism it has done wonders for me along with benfotiamine (a synthetic b1 supplement that stays in your system longer than natural niacin) A friend of mine who is an orthopedic surgeon was glad I decided on the benfotiamine as well as the carnivore diet. Nowadays most of my pain is when the weather is extreme, normal days I actually have good relief and can get on the treadmill again! it's amazing! I wish you the best of luck!
Sounds like me everyday.
Yes THEY CAN HEAL i been there trust me it can heal
I just got diagnosed with PN about 7 months ago. I was told it was from a B12 deficiency. My numbness goes from my feet up to above my waist. I’m glad I came across your channel.
Dont worry you will be fine soon no need to worry God bless you Buddy!!❤
Eat pork meat or pork liver. It has the type of thiamine is used for the nerves to rebuilt.
Don’t buy thiamine because that is hydro soluble and the nerves would not be able to absorb it.
Change your diet.
Go to carnivore diet, no keto diet.
All the veggies, seeds and nuts have carbs. Don’t eat bread, any made with flour. No sugar , no rice or pasta. Coffee and tea depletes absorption of B1. No alcohol either.
Your pain, in just one month into carnivore diet will improve spectacularly.
@@LucyHeartfilia9942 that was sweet of you. Thank you so much. God bless you too 🙏🏾
I had the same issue 5 years ago. I had very low B12 in my blood tests. I’m non diabetic PN. That means they don’t know why I have it. I take a big dose of B12 every day with D3 and K2. It got about 50% better over the next few years. It solved most of the pain and pins but the numbness was still there. I went carnivore a year ago and started intermittent fasting. I have improved by 50% in my nerve damage. All in all I have 90% improvement in pain and 60% improvement is nerve damage/ lack of feeling in my legs. It didn’t get better fast. It’s been a marathon. I’ve also lost 50 lbs and solved high BP and sleep apnea too. Wasn’t planning on that.

B1 operates the Breathing Function in the Lower Brainstem! I was involved in a ToXic Fume X-P to Pulp Mill Emissions building a New Recovery Boiler next to an operating Pulp Mill with 1000 tradesmen! Dozens of us were Booked for the Sleep Disorder Clinic! I knew already I couldn't use the plastic Tubing and Mask on the 2nd night because the Neurotoxin Ethylene oxide is used as a Plastic Softener! My discernment is the hundreds of TPD of Nitric oXide being emitted is a first cousin to Nitrous oxide Anaesthesia which impairs Cellular absorption of B12! So if a person has been put under for surgery Or dental work, Cellular absorption may be impaired!
I saw a Surgeon for knee n shoulder surgery and a young brother suggested my B12 was low, needed for optimum Bursa Sac health found @ every joint! That was 6 year's ago and at times I lapse in daily B12 dosing, but if I get a jab of pain in a joint Or snapping, I take B12 and it's remedied in a very short time! Oh yes the Thiamine, B1 in a B100 supplement ended my Sleep Apnea! I'm Canadian where we're Restricted to 100mg of B1, but I've found 300/500 mg in America! I Hope this helps!
I have Trigeminal Neuralgia (the suicide disease). Within two days after going on a Keto diet I got 95% relief. Flare-ups seldomly occur and when they do they are very mild. I have gotten my life back after suffering from this horrible disease for over 14 years. Thank you Dr. Berry for all of the information you give us and all of the videos you post.
so happy for you x
Brilliant
Praise the Lord!🙏😇
I have schizo affective disorder and keto completely removes the depression side of things for me and helps a lot with the bipolar.
Fantastic! I’m so happy for you! I have a great healing from LCHF and OMAD. I had a virus, basically shingles that got into my head and caused lots of cranial nerve damage and meningitis. It nearly killed me, hurt badly and caused brain damage. I slept around the clock for two years. I knew that the ketogenic diet had some effect on the brain and was being used for epilepsy in children. I researched and went from there. I’m so much better now.
I have numbness in my right hand three fingers. Started carnivore three weeks ago. And now it’s actually waking me up at night. It’s almost if the nerves are coming back to life, causing some pain. I feel confident I can overcome it. Down 30 lbs already and my overall joint pain is down 90%.
Keep it going...well done...the 30lbs lost are the proof that whatever you are eating on the carnivore diet, works🎉
update pls
How is it going? My mom has the exact same thing, she’s diabetic and refuses medication, they put her on probably a very high dose of Metformin few years ago and she felt really bad taking the first few days that she stopped it completely. In her case, I believe is related.
Two things have helped me, first I use some compression socks in the evening. They give temp pain relief. Second that has helped reduce the severity of pain is cycling. I try and ride my bike for 20+ miles every other day. This takes about 1 1/2 hours and gives some good relief.
I have very bad neuropathies in both my feet so I do know what your talking about. I guess I can expect my neuropathies to eventually get better as I have switched to KETO on March 1st of this year and started fasting about 6 weeks ago. At least 18 hours a day most days I am OMAD and am fasting 20 hours a day and once every two weeks I do a 48 hour fast. You have been so good for me and I do thank you with all my heart, my life is getting better!
Best of luck!
Yay. Good for you. Keep going. 💘 💘
Great move! It will as long as you have the patience to stick to it. It will come, and when it does over time, you’ll wake up one day and discover it’s gone. That’s how it happened with me.
Diane continue with Keto but also learn from Sally K Norton about Oxalates, you can easily eat far too high oxalates per day eating Keto also. Transition to Carnivore - join the fabulous fb group Women Carnivore Tribe, I have learnt so much about healing.
@@tinabrown7959 Who is Sally K Norton and what are Oxalates
B1 benfotiamine along with alpha lapoic acid with intermittent and prolonged fasting
With a strict ketogenic diet has massively reduced inflammation in my ankles and the feeling is coming back in my toes and the bottoms of my feet the pain is gone and the sensitivity in my legs has calmed down substantially.
My morning fasting glucose has come down
Very much: three weeks ago I had readings as high as 169 wich had me floored.
Since then my numbers have come down substantially 119 104, 96 , 100, 99 now my numbers are getting within ten points all day.
I have just one month in pure carnivore diet and the symptoms were cut at 75%. I can walk bear foot and wear soft shoes again.
I can not imagine in a couple of months how good I will be.

May you be richly blessed.
you can do it!!!
Hi Vivienne could you please tell me if it worked?
I had peripheral Neuropathy since March of this year and was diagnosed with pre diabetes at age 26 (Im 27 now) the Keto/Carnivore diet has made my symptoms so minor that I'm able to run, hike and even sprint no diff. And my pre diabetes is null and void.
Thank you to all the Keto experts out there but especially you Dr. Berry. You were the first I came across and you continue to give the truth, when the AHA refuse to admit failure!
Ive gone from being a 210lbs beer gut "skinny guy" to a 145lbs man looking to gain weight through fat and protein
What were your symptoms at first?
Hello. Iam 24 and was recently diagnosed with early diabetes. I started getting nerve pain since may 19th of this year. What do u do for pain?
I had neuropathy, but doctors did not take me seriously, I walked with pain from neuropathy for three years, terrible pain, had a loss of feeling, which caused me to fall over and over again. Until I discovered for myself that my neuropathy was caused by cholesterol medication, blood pressure medication and various remedies for diabetes. Now that I have intervened MYSELF, my pain is completely gone and all feeling is back. My trust in the medical world is completely gone, they are simple quacks who have financial advantages in prescribing that medication
Practiced for 47 years, the first 24 years were frustrating. Only when I began to include diet counseling did i begin to see improvements in my patients. Reversing the typical western diet and lifestyle to a ketogenic diet did i begin to improve the quality of life of my patients. You are absolutely correct. Keep going and stay healthy.
I've been carnivore/IF for a while, and when I put on my socks yesterday, I realized that I did not feel neuropathy any more.
Amazin' innit? Woohoo!
Hi! What does carnivore/IF mean? How long did it take to see results?
@@HeartProbe139 Eating animal foods exclusively is carnivore diet. IF means intermittent fasting. As Dr Berry suggests here, at least 14 to 16 hours a day, or longer if you can do it.

Thanks for your video. Surprisingly everything you discussed is this video I experienced it. I’m a diabetic type 2 for about 15 years. I’m 79 years old, had a stroke while at work in 2015. But lately in the past few years noticed more changes in my body, more so since the stroke affecting me left side. The constant tingling of the left foot/toes, the constant itch of the right ankle, constant numbness of the left hand/ fingers. Constant itch of the left testicle.
I will change my diet. Thank you Doc.

I myself have been using a triple magnesium, and 1200 mg of alpha lipoc acid every night for over a year, my neuropathy in my feet were so bad, now its 90 percent better! My endocrinologist has been telling her patients to try it, because its worked so well for me.

How many months work for you? When they gone ur stop fasting too?
About 10 years ago, peripheral neuropathy in my feet was the first sign that my lazy and poor eating had caused type II diabetes. Very long story short, I had a very high A1C. I went no sugar/no grain, reversed the diabetes (A1C of 5.0) and have maintained that for years. The neuropathy is much better, but not completely eliminated. When I first noticed it and until I got my eating and weight controlled, there was actual pain and burning on a regular basis and discomfort all the time. Now, I just feel some very, very slight numbness, but no pain and burning and sometime not even that. Getting rid of the neuropathy is a long term thing and it may never completely resolve. Word to the wise- get your A1C under control before it starts.
have you also checked your B12 levels? Perhaps B12 can help eliminate the rest of the issues in neuropathy and you'll feel completely better......I'm so glad you've had relief on diet alone.
I have a very similar problem. 10 years with it, at this point it's just numbness and little pain sometimes, I can easily walk 5 miles, numbness is mostly at the bottom of my toes and pre toes bottom feet area, feeling is good on the top. How is yours?
What is a1c
@@susan3200 Hemoglobin A1C- it is a measure of average blood glucose level over the course of about 3 months. It is the primary test to diagnose type 2 diabetes. Under 5.7 is normal (no diabetes), 5.7-6.3 is "pre-diabetes" or a warning, over 6.3 is generally considered diabetes.
@@James_Hough thank you.
That is very helpful. I just learned yesterday that consuming more estrogen like foods can help prevent type 2 diabetes. I'm hoping to avoid that. 🙂
The Keto diet has now saved my life... my Lymes developed into the worst possible case of peripheral neuropathy that lasted 4 years now. The pain was becoming unbearable and debilitating. Things are now reversing at a fast pace thanks to diet and B12. Thank you so much for the best information ever on this condition, and your wealth of knowledge on the subject... I wish you were my personal physician!

That's what pretty much all doctors say. The medical system is completely corrupt and broken. They want you on their drugs forever.

I never understood the need to drink water and foolishly thought a few pints of beer did the trick.
For years I suffered with kidney stones. But one night after a bottle of wine and a meal, I woke in terrible pain in the kidney, the stone had moved and so I knew I had to MOVE and get to casualty. I was arguing with the doctor who was telling me I was a very sick man, but I said it's the stone in the kidney and I need an injection for the pain. He informed me that normal blood sugar level is 5.8, European level, BUT yours is 84.5, that's eighty-four point five, you could have gone into a Diabetic coma if the pain from the stone hadn't made you come to the hospital. I was brought to theater and a stent inserted and brought to ICU. In a mater of days I had neuropathy in 1 foot, which progressed to the other. I was put on Insulin injections and have been for the past 15 years.
Holy smokes!!! Good thing your kidney stone moved and urged you to go to the hospital.
Started using Benfotiamine 300 2x daily and immediately have 50-75% less neuropathy pain. A miracle
I just ordered some I hope it works
I'm about try a supplement that has this as the main ingredient. Can't wait!
@@eternitywithjesus777 Did it work?
How did this work out for you? any good or no?
@@lorrainebiondo2754 where did you order?
Ozempic is a dangerous drug for an older persons with neuropathy. I was prescribed Ozempic for Type II DM. I had two very dangerous falls because Ozempic aggravated orthostatic hypotension to such an extent it caused me to blackout suddenly and fall. The first fall caused a severe break in my left ankle which required surgery, and a head injury. The second fall caused a broken hip. It took weeks of hospitalization before my doctors figured out Ozempic was causing my BP to drop so low I would pass out upon standing. It took eight weeks for Ozempic to clear my system and allow me to stand up without blacking out. No one has mentioned this problem with these types of medications but it should thoroughly be explored.
Low carb really does ease this type of pain. I am 6 months in on keto lifestyle but only took the first few weeks to realise the pain in my neck, head shoulders and back was easing. 3 months in and I started weight training amazing progress as I carrying a shopping bag was painful. This pain and disability started after an accident, no meds helped and thousands spent on physio and chiropractic adjustments to ease the pain. All it took was a change in my diet. I cannot recommend this advice enough.
Yes I figured out a long time ago now knee pain would go if I didn't eat white carbs.
Why doesn’t anyone talk about chemo and how it causes horrendous PN pain. we get lumped in with diabetes people. PN from chemo is the worse pain ever.
Absolutely. I am dealing with excruciating pain from chemo. I am on strong pain killers which one can only take a certain amount of. I am trying to relieve whatever pain I can with the help of red light therapy , sunshine and vitamin B1 in the form of benfotiamine (regular thiamine will not suffice) and vitamin B6.
I also do intermittent fasting along with keto diet
@@suewilliams9910 hi Sue I am absolutely the same. Is this working for you?
@@luvwings I wished I never took chemo. I had 14 out of 16 treatments in 2020. The numbness in my arms, hands, leg and feet is awful. Keeps me from getting much sleep. Never was told about this side effect. It also caused my heart to go bad. Was in heart failure this January, the doctors saved me. I was in the hospital almost 30 days. Your health is everything.
Almost a year ago, I took a day off from work thinking that I had gout. Well, it was not gout, it was peripheral neuropathy. My toes hurt especially at night. That pain was what motivated me to look for root causes and solutions. It look me a few days to realize that it was caused by my diabetes. Out of desperation I watched a lot of UA-cam videos and tried a dietary intervention. After 3 months of cutting out processed food, and practicing time restricted eating, most of my diabetic symptoms went away. Two observations. 1. I got better in a hurry. 2. If I were to eat badly again, I will get sick again rapidly too. So, I am not "cured", but for all practical purposes this is good enough.
congrats to you,
you are giving hope to so many people
In other words, you went back to eating the way people did before processed foods were invented and available. Defined meals, no snacking in between, fresh and cooked vegetables daily, fruit sparingly and only locally in season, and a reasonable quantity of food consumed at each meal. Also, no sugary drinks or sugar-added fruit juices. (I can recall my grandmother saying drinking fruit juice is a waste of the fruit. If you’re having fruit, eat the whole thing.) Home baked goods were reserved for holidays, and eaten in small quantities.
We now have generations of people who don’t know how to eat for good health. They can’t look to their parents because they don’t know, either. You’ve gone back to normal. I’d say you ARE cured.
Congratulations!
@@suzanneemerson9787 Concerning the seasonality of fruits. When I was young, I remember eating pomelo once a year. Now I can have grapefruits that are somewhat similar to pomelo in taste all year round. I also remember that I hated oranges because they were really sour and sometimes they tasted bitter. Well, not anymore, oranges are as sweet as syrup these days.
So how are you doing today did you have the burning and tingling and if so is it gone today ?
@@roncurtis4988 I have reversed my type 2 diabetes years ago. It is not that difficult. These days if I take really good of myself, my fasting blood glucose is in the 60s. When I am stressed, it is in the 80s. Yeah, lifestyle changes are critical.

Dr. Berry - All you videos are so informative that I have been in tears for the last couple of hours going through many of them. I am and Engineer by profession and naturally was relying on doctors for the ultimate machine that our souls live in and am so very disappointed for so many years! I tell my parents the same, last year we almost lost our father due to his doctor prescribing him medications which were lethal, fortunately there was an doctor at the emergency who stopped and weaned him off of all 4 of them and our young father of 93 is better than before :) ..... so there are doctors who genuinely care and there are those who make a business of the corrupted side of the profession like all professions have. You are on the ethical side, no doubt and may God bless your family, loved ones and you for ever!

Thanks Dr Berry. You are a life saver.. In 2021, I had a poor diet (LOTS of junk food binges) & was stressed out due to the extra work demands of the pandemic & living in the path of the 2020 chaos and protests. I was also the most overweight I had ever been in life. One day I suddenly had Peripheral Neuropathy all over my body that didn't go away. After seeing a doctor, they told me they had no idea what was causing it but only that it was an irreversible condition and maybe I should "lose weight" because the extra weight caused it (Doctor just guessed. I had been overweight for over a decade without these issues). Labs just showed A1C of 5.7 and cholesterol level of 211. I stumbled across this video and reversed the neuropathy within 3 months. Also lost over 100lbs switching to a keto diet with fasting. Blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol are optimal despite high protein, high fat and high sodium diet. I am awake to what Dr Berry has to say about healthcare and food industry conspiracies now.
What did you eat and how long was the fasting?

I'm currently having this monster called peripheral neuropathy in my feet, hopefully this video will be of great help. Praise God. Mine is the burning feeling.
Try rubbing castor oil into your feet at night. It's not a cure but does bring immediate relief.
Dr Ken realised I was suffering from this alongside sciatica in both legs which confused the diagnosis somewhat and after wading through tons of as you say useless junk. I found this which quite honestly picked me up off the floor.
It was confidence inspiring to listen to the information particularly when other health care professionals give praise to your knowledge. The mainly carnivore/low carb diet I enjoy now has helped me immensely at over 40 lbs lighter at 70yrs young has shown what can be achieved. Many thanks and good health to you and yours
I have watched and listened to this Dr dor months. He is knowledgeable, and speaks the truth. Few doctors are this honest! Thank you for your help!
This has been the singularly most helpful information I’ve found in my attempt to find biological answers to my painful PN. Thank you so much and I’ll immediately contact my doc to request those tests.

I love everything you have said, and right now I'm going for a walk before I start the Keto way of eating. God bless you and all your efforts. You are doing a wonderful work!
As I have gotten my sugars under control and doing keto carnivore more meat, butter and fat the better it is. Also losing 50 lbs has been a blessing for my feet.

This is amazing, for the past 2 nights I haven’t been able to sleep with pain in feet and legs. I come on UA-cam and one of the first items on my feed was this wonderful doctor talking about neuropathy. 💖
As a sufferer of Small Fiber neuropathy for a dozen years, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I saw a neurologist who attended the best universities for 5 years... he offered no hope, no suggestions, only meds... which did not work. I have had chronic gastro issues for most of my life so I went to Emory Neurology because they advertise a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment of neuropathy. I mentioned Dr. Perlmutter's work which found there is a relationship between gut issues and neuropathy. This must have offended the Ukrainian neurologist I was seeing because she stopped the exam and literally told me to go home and die... not once or twice but multiple times. I asked about the gastro workup and she refused to offer it. So it's refreshing to say the least to find someone as generous and as knowledgeable as you on my journey. Thank you sir.
Holy shit I hope she is no longer a doctor. What a horrible thing to say to someone!
I've described my symptoms to 3 different neurologists with no help whatsoever. I didn't even know what to call this problem (small fiber neuropathy) until researching on my own. I think my neurologists must assume my PCP has already done all the basic tests Dr Berry described, but my PCP has barely scratched the surface and has actually refused to do anything else because she believes it's my neurologists' job. Too much more of this insanity and I'll need a psychiatrist. I've wasted thousands of dollars on absolutely worthless doctors.
An extreme example but not uncommon treatment of patients in america. I've been ignored, dropped as a patient, yelled at.
@@HandymanArtist ISNT THE ego an awful thing out of control - sending you lots of love
I too was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy. All my neurologist had to offer was a Rx for gabapentin! Really. When the autonomic symptoms appeared she decided to send me to a neurologist specializing in neuromuscular disease. It will take a least 6 months to get that appointment. This has already been 2.5 years, so now in my 70’s, I really need to figure out what to do now, not another year from now. I think I will try intermittent fasting and low carb.
I took the whole list of blood tests to my neurologist and after suffering for years.....they found I had too much Copper in my blood test! Thanks so much for helping me ! ❤ Hopefully I am on the road to recovery now 😊 I thought they had already done a heavy metals test, but maybe because I asked for both panels?
What do you think caused the copper over load?

I suffer almost daily from peripheral neuropathy which I began having a few days before my 37th birthday this year. I tried Keto for a year with incredible success but slowly let carbs creep back in. A year later I began having tingling, burning, and numbness in my hands, feet, and sometimes even in my face. Some days were so bad I couldn’t focus on anything else. When I began checking my blood sugar I realized that within one year off the keto diet I was becoming a type 2 diabetic. I immediately returned to the keto lifestyle and have been strict keto for 5 months. I have good days and bad but overall my symptoms have lessened and are definitely not getting worse. I would have never let any carbs into my diet if I had known that type 2 diabetes is not about keeping your weight down. Just because I was at a healthy weight it doesn’t mean I wasn’t doing horrible, irreversible damage to my body. My blood sugars are not as low as I’d like them despite combining fasting with keto but I’m guessing it might just take time. I can’t actually lose anymore weight because I’ve met my goal and will be underweight so I’m hoping I can maintain my current weight on keto. Thank you Dr. Berry for all you do. You can save millions from suffering.
how are you doing now??
Yes, please tell us. I’m going through a hard time after being vaccinated.
see eating carbs every single day and expecting to stay healthy it can't happen and i know quiting carb is Tough but you can do one thing like in a week you have 7 days out of 7 eat healthy for 6 days and for one day you can cheat on your diet and can eat whatever you want to.....and next day start eating healthy this way you can balance your health as well as your craving for carbs

I have the tingling and numbness down the inside of both my legs, fortunately no pain yet. What happened is: long time low carb diet turned serious carnivore in May 2022. Went on vacation with my hubby Oct 8-15 2022 and fully off carnivore. I mean I had so much bread & sugar it was a rebellion. A day and a half later I wake up with my entire body tingling and I kept complaining to my hubby my body was so swollen. My thighs, my tummy, my face. I was stupid and kept eating that way till I got home. Started right away back on strict carnivore and felt a little improvement in less than 2 weeks. Thank the Lord. When my body was tingling all over I thought maybe a virus or something. Now, over 2 weeks back on strict carnivore, only the insides of my long legs, insides of my arms and my stomach are still super tingling & numb. *I really feel this entire experience with carnivore and then jumping of and back on has shook some sense into me. I’m so lucky enough to not have any pain this time and realize I most likely will not be so lucky if there ever is a next time.
Thank you Thank you Thank you for keeping this video up!!👏👏👏👏
I feel so much better after watching this video. I feel confident if I stay on carnivore long enough I may see more improvement with my nerves. ~I had a full blood panel done just last week and everything came back normal for carnivore.

I’m a Dental Hygienist and tell my patients about and they come back and thank me. Not a CURE… it takes the edge off. Small compression ankle length socks are great too. Loved this video, very informative! 😊
Can’t tell you how much I Love this Guy!!! He really is the real deal!!!!!Great medical and health advice
I just started intermittent fasting. You are so right!! When I do it I feel so much better!
Thanks for this information . It’s very helpful ✅
If your on metformin you are deficient of vitamin B12 my neuropathy was helped when I took B12 while on metformin now I'm on a carnivore leaning keto diet (one year in) no longer on ANY diabetes meds!! And neuropathy is getting better !!
I started taking these Vitamins for Neuropathy: they are oil soluble forms of the vitamins and not water soluble forms so they stay in the body longer:
Benfotiamine (B1) 600 mg (2 x 300 mg/day) and
Methylcobalamin (B12) 5000 mcg/day. For me, they make a huge difference. When I stop taking them the neuropathy gets worse. When I start again they get better. There's no question it helps. And it doesn't show up as a deficiency in lab tests, so it isn't due to a quote unquote "deficiency."
Thank you so much for getting this out there. I discovered these remedies on my own because of Lupus and other severe AI disorders that I have been fighting for years. Tried multiple specialty clinics and all their drug concoctions to no effect. Occasional debilitating bouts of the disease required massive short turn doses of prednisone to stop the incredible pain that truly had me thinking I could not go on like this. No amount of opioid pain killers would touch it. Also debilitating neuropathy in my feet, where even a fan blowing on them was excruciating. About 18 months ago I went on the Keto diet as I was gaining weight from the prednisone and inactivity and I started feeling better with longer and longer hiatuses between severe bouts. Always there still, neuropathy still fairly severe. I started getting severe arm and leg cramps and thought I must be missing some minerals. Started with Magnesium and Potassium and things slowly improved over many months, then switched to Carnivore diet and have made much faster recovery. I'm a 72 year old male and now have limited neuropathy in my feet. I have been able to get out in the woods and cut, haul and stack 2 cords of wood in the last week. Something I thought would never seem possible 1 year ago. I always tried to stay active but was dying from autoimmune disorders.
I can relate to your experience. Word of caution with the prednisone - it caused bone death surprisingly fast for me. I was lucky I found out before having to get a joint replacement.
just bought ur book, & ive gotta say, it is probably one of the most eye opening books on nutrition & overall health ive ever read, & ive read many. thank u & god bless u dude!
Where did you buy tis book and what is title of book?
@@krystalpatterson7643 "lies ur doctor told u" ...great book, easy read... its basically alot of what u hear him talk about on here
Keto, Carnivore and High Dose TTFD B1 are all helpful. B1 has been used for Barri Barri, and Diabetic nueropathy for decades. Dr Berry is a great source of information. Thank you Doc.
what is TTFD B1?
@@joelghole4052 Found this on the net: TTFD (thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is a derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1) with high bioavailability. This form has been shown to cross the blood-brain-barrier and can bypass normal routes of thiamine absorption, with a higher rate of uptake both in the gut and at the cellular level.

Twice in my life I had nerve problems. Sciattica, and a pinched nerve. The problem migrated from the origin, to the closest joint (hip, shoulder) and then traveled to the next joint, and then the next. Finally, it reversed itself, traveling back to the next, and then the next previous joint, to the original area. Months (I think about 4 months for each) it took to do all this. No medication worked.
The point to all this is: Nerve problems generally don't go away rapidly. Expect them to take awhile. Follow the Doctor's advise. He knows what he's talking about.

Thank you, and will unfollow this channel due to that he babbles the first 12 minutes! Unfair!

I knew that my keto diet fixed the burning in my fingertips after chemo for Grade 3 cancer, but didn't know it was actually "a thing". Keto is just a gift that keeps on giving!
Did you do the ice on your hands and feet when you did chemo? I am on Taxol number 5 coming up and I have very slightly noticed some tingling. I hope it doesn't worsen.
@@queue555 No, I have never heard of putting ice on your fingertips during chemo. Best wishes for your recovery journey. It's a hard slog. I wish i had known about keto and fasting while I was going through it it. I'm sure it would have helped.
Did your neurothopy go away after chemo? I feel like my hands are carpel tunnel ish?
I've now finished Taxol.
@@queue555 have you started a ketogenic diet? Good luck on your journey. Ive been looking at keto and cancer videos today so theres lots of evidence improving quality of life and starving sugar based cancers. 🙏 I've met people that have reversed their diabetic peripheral neuropathy with ketosis.
It for a away while I am on my keto diet. If I fall off the wagon it's one of the first things to come back.
Thank you doc. I have severe PN from two autoimmune diseases causing Central Pain Syndrome. 45 years of pain (but worked many of those as an ICU RN). 13 procedures later, I have a DRG Spinal Cord Simulator and an Intrathecal Pain Pump. All that and 6 months post pump, I'm still, it what I term, agony despite titration up, up, up. It seems, I'm one of the unlucky people who are not fixable. I feel for you all with this scourge.

Was waking in morning, with pain in lower legs, after T2 diagnosis in Mar '21. Found relief in Hawthorn Berry Extract 425 mg nightly. Have also been on Keto w/ IF since diagnosis. Almost to full remission of T2. Last a1c 5.8. First was 14.4.
Alpha lipoic acid helps neuropathy too, if a1c has already been handled.
Dr berry thank you so much for curing my 10 year old worst neuropathy 😭. I followed your low carb and intermittent fasting suggestion for 75 days and still continued. ❤ from India.
I think he meant it would only be effective if you have hyperglycemia
Very inspiring to know that you got relief in 2 months. May I know what is the cause of your neuropathy.
@@sreek3898 severe vitamin d difficiency which eventually cause autoimmune diseases ( psoriasis and ms ). Belive me good dosage of probiotics vitamin d3 and zinc were key for all autoimmune diseases.
@@mosinanson3215 which doctor and hospital in India you are taking treatment?
@@redpepper8913 by own
thank you, i am in the UK, and for the most part my peripheral Nuropathy has been ignored, not treatment, no suggestions to help me cope with it, just get on with it, I was told that mine is a result of being born with congenital bilateral tailpies, and having many surgeries to try to correct that, i also have spinal stinosis which apparently is also a direct result of the operations to my feet and hips, again no one has ever taken the time to explain any of it to me, in fact one doctor said in a letter to my GP, " he is going to be in pain for the rest of his life and he is just going to have to get used to it" since then i don't bother them so much and just try to learn how to deal with it myself. So your video helped me to understand a little more about it and will try to follow some of your guidance, so many thanks and take care :)
Amitripyline messed me up bad. I finally weaned off of it, and have improved so much!
I couldn't figure out how I bad so quickly and it was Amitripyline!!!! Withdrawal was scary, I went to ER...was really sick. But I came out on the other side. Whew!
I realized I had PN probably two years ago, several years after my diabetes diagnosis. I felt sort of pin pricks and my feet were more sensitive to pain than ever before. My feet now stay cold unless I am wearing socks, but I have been Ketovore since Aug. 2020 and I never feel the pin pricking sensation any more. Wish I had known to start sooner. Thank you Dr. B.
I've had peripheral neuropathy due to MS for over 20 years. I started out on 300mg of Neurontin per day and eventually was up to 3600mg and it still wasn't enough. I switched to 300mg of Lyrica and that helped for several years. Eventually going low carb got me to the point I could drop all meds. I still have some lingering pain but it's minor enough that it's just a background noise.
What is lyrica?
@@AbsoluteUNIT000 Lyrica is a peripheral neuropathy drug used primarily with diabetics.
@@AbsoluteUNIT000 it’s the brand name for Pregabalin.
Pesticide use??? I was in pest control for 21 years. We used many Fogging pesticides, Fumigants, and all sorts of spray insecticides.
I have had nueopathy for years. I had a large pelvic tumor partially removed in 2015., but both my feet have been near dead since 2011. Upon finding the large tumor just before surgery (4months prior
R) my upper thighs went through a phase I call flame out as that is what it felt like for 20-30 seconds. Right leg went first and my left leg went after the partial resection of the tumor immediately after surgery while I was still in recovery.
Recent EMG was not good for me. No feeling in the nerve conductivity test in my feet and just above my knees..
Your thoughts..?
Thanks, great info and video.
Hi Dr Berry. I’m watching your videos from Maryland. I’m almost 74 and I have Neuropathy in my feet. They burn and cause me to unable to sleep. I’ve been on Keto for almost 7months. Thank you for these great tutorials.❤️
Has the Keto been helping?
Although I still have pretty significant peripheral neuropathy, it became **off the chart** severe approximately 2 weeks after being on a statin! OMG! It was constant & all-consuming! I slowly returned to my baseline when I stopped the Rx. I will never, ever, ever go near a statin ever again. Wishing better days for everyone who suffers with it. I had no idea it could be so severe. 😢 (eta: it was atorvastatin)
Instead of a statin, I take Red Yeast Rice.
Which statin? There are some that cannot be tolerated. Some have few side effects. Niacin help with cholesterol
Look into Moringa, Berberine andBergamot as possible substitutes for blood sugar and cholesterol lowering. Research.
I got it from a statin too.
I also got it from a statin - was on only 75 days and was riding a peloton 60-,90 120 minutes before the statin. I am 72. Now that I have gotten this - am in constant pain and can barely ride 45 minutes. My Dr had no clue on what to do with me.
Doctor, your labor is changing people's life. Thanks you!
I had years of sleepless nights because of neuropathy, since on keto it's gone like magic
And I lost 5 stone in weight( 70lb)
😊😊😊
How long after starting keto did your neuropathy go away?
@@karenintexas4831 about 6 weeks in. X
What is keto and how do you get on it? This pain hurts
Wow fabulous result 👏👏👏👏
I always say if criminals were punished with one week of neuropathy and or gout, they would go straight the rest of their lives..the pain is so excrutiating!
OMG YES!
I keep saying that too!
Unfortunately these things never happen to bad people.
I'm afraid I know that, too :-(
I second that.
Yes it is painful.
1) B vitamins
2) Magnesium & potassium
3) Vitamin D3 + K2
4) Omega 3
5) Diet - low carbohydrate, keto, carnivore - no grains/sugar
6) Fasting - 14 to 20+ hours prolong fasting
Lipoid acid
Omg Doc - you are a star - I got so depressed after watching another video where a doc says that neuropathy cant be reversed and you say it can =thank y ou doc
Family member got neuropathy in form of Guillain-Barre, 6 weeks after flu shot. Hardly went to 1 stock of his home, lost 80% of hand force. Slowly improved, almost a year.
I had occasional neuropathy flare-ups in my left foot (2-5 times per week). Within 1 week of going carnivore, it's gone completely. Also gone within a few weeks? General 'old man' joint pain, skin tags, xanthelasma (cholesterol buildup under the eye lids - gone!), BP down, energy up, etc. Why and how this diet is not recommended by every physician is mindboggling.
Thank you Dr Berry for being strait-forward truthful and to the point .. I have both peripheral and diabetic neuropathies and what you say is the absolute truth..I’ve been through them over and over for many long years . God bless you and keep up the great work… the TRUTH shall set you FREE!
I got my peripheral neuropathy - manifesting as DROP FOOT. This happened after I had hip replacement surgery - the surgery stretched my nerves in kindly trying to make sure both legs were the same length. So after 1.5 years of suffering this, I now have 50 % improvements. I didn’t like Lyricia.
Hi ! My husband is going through this right now after a hip replacement, it’s all on his left foot right now, can you tell me what did you do to get better?
Doc you are the best! All the things you said in this piece are spot on! I developed neuropathy after being diagnosed Type 2! I have since completely changed my diet (your advice) and I can feel things are starting to change! Slowly, but it’s definitely happening! I busted up the discs in my spine and thought at first I was experiencing these things because of my back! It started out with numbness or no feeling in the bottom of my feet..? So thank you for all your posts! Your honest talk is helping me a great deal! I appreciate you and the Mrs! Be well Sir!
I wish I could find a doctor like you in my area. I live in lower Michigan near Ohio. Most md’s are not very thorough and just cover the basics. Thank you for teaching us so much more about how to care for ourselves.
