heart doctors had me on 9 meds.....and gave me one year to live with 11 percent heart function....I.took my self off ALL Meds .....42,000 pills I never took and Here I am 13 years later. Feeling great.
A couple of years ago my freind weighed over 400 lbs and was diabetic. The doctor wanted to put her on more medicine because she wasn't doing well. She got mad, said that she wasn't overweight and had no problems until they put her on medication. So she quit seeing the doctors, stopped taking all medications and went on a super low carb diet and started walking for exercise. Two years later she just got her weight down to 190 lbs and is officially not diabetic anymore. She also just turned 78 years old. She looks fantastic and feels amazing.
Very true - Ruth -- and -- what '''really''' bothers 'me' - is the complete lack of effort to find cures (?) as apposed to perpetually treating the symptoms ! -- A disgusting practice for continued profit while we all suffer ''incurably'' ? = A ruthless practice ! This at best is treating patients as 'lab rats' w/o a lab !!! --?--
@@brendadavis5391 That’s too bad for them! You must live your life, so don’t let their likes/dislikes get in the way of you doing what is best for *you*!! ✌🏼💖
@@brendadavis5391 My Doctor told me that I should not use Google. But next time you get colon cancer go to a chiropractor and get put on Ginkgo biloba, Valerian, Thyme, Oregano, and Dill. That will do it! LOL
Got finger infections out of nowhere, no cuts, good hygiene, and the MDs bombarded me with strong antibiotics. After finishing the 3 courses of the antib my health went havoc for quite a while. Now, I learned the lesson and am taking 1 raw garlic per day with coconut yogurt, as a natural antib, and if finger infections start to give some signs of returning, then I soak the finger(s) in a iodized fine salt, add extra salt over the infection and - voilà. I’m doctoring myself as often as possible to save my health.
At one time I took anti-anxiety medication which then led to restless leg syndrome and a diagnosis of Sjogrens Syndrome. I also took medications for migraines and acid reflux. I also took allergy medication. Two years ago I changed my diet by giving up sugar from my diet and by eating once a day. I started feeling better than I had in years so I decided to ask my Dr if I could start to wean off my medications to see what would happen. Happily I no longer take any medications with the exception of an allergy medication that I take only when they flair up. I no longer have anxiety, restless leg syndrome, no sjogrens, no migraines, no acid reflux. I’m 63 and feel better than I have in decades.
I've been on enbrel for some years & my moms been on metformin for several years we both have nerve issues because we thought we were in good hands. I'll take this information when we both go into our first app with a neurologist. Thank you for your hardwork & dedication to getting vital information out to the world. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦. You deserve millions of subscribers 😊
Metformain isn't good for your system. I heard doctors saying this Diabetes medication is bad for people taking it.😢 My Opinion. Prayers for those who are prescribed by doctors. To treat diabetes.
Go keto ...NO sugar..wheat products..white four..rice..processed food read all labels.. do not use bad oils: corn oil..vegetable oil..canola..crisco..USE ONLY : 100% VIRGIN OLIVE OIL COLD PRESS WITH NO OTHER OILS ADDED....COCONUT OIL...CULTURED OIL ..AVOCADO OIL ONLY IF THERE ARE NO OTHER OILS OR ADDITIVES... USE MCT OIL ON SALADS..IN FOOD ETC BUT DO NOT HEAT OR FRY....DONT COOK WITH OLIVE OIL UNLESS EXTREMELY LOW HEAT...USE OLIVE OIL ON VEGETABLES ETC AFTER COOKING.. Look up betaine hlc and berberine...mct oil daily on food etc learn about these things...from Dr Berg and others...in 6 months u will be amazed just by eating clean getting rid of the bad oils ..flour..wheat ..processed foods read all lables..
Lyrica almost killed me. Gabapentin didn't work at all and made me lose almost all of my hair. For me, it is better to suffer with neuropathy, then to suffer all of these side effects.💔
GREAT QUESTION, XAVIER. Unfortunately, most doctors training revolves mainly around prescribing drugs and this has to do with the extensive control pharmaceutical companies indirectly have over med school curriculum
As much as we would like to think doctors are helping their prescribing pills to mask the pain etc if they really wanted to help us and no help the manufactures profit they would be find or telling us how to get better because all the meds will eventually create other health issues. These holistic etc ways to do some things. And sometimes we have to be our own solution. Not all doctors some there are some that go against the grain and are for the patient. But we have to do the work. 🙏❤️
@xavier dominic Hi there. Personally, l don’t think so. We need more doctors who are not so bláse about many things. This is insufferable. And l’m tough! As a matter of fact, l couldn’t believe my DERMATOLOGIST found l had lung cancer!! .. 😳!! I also have a rare skin condition; the sun & sea that l’m addicted too, was the the only thing that keeps it a bay.. until l need a coupla days of Prendisone. I’m only mentioning this because if he hadn’t found it, l wouldn’t be here now to whinge about it!! I know they’re SO SO BUSY; but sometimes they get jaded- time to find something else to do; instead of treating people like numbers. 🥼👨🏽🔬
This video needs to be brought to TV channels. What I suspected years ago and I did stop some of the meds myself. Dr. Was mad, I did not care.I was happier
Happy to say at age 76 I take no medications prescribed or otherwise. My wife 46, takes 15 prescribed drugs and is a wreck due them. I am American but have lived in Central America since 2013. Past 6 years in Costa Rica. I am a Us Army Vet and the VA used to medicate me for all kinds of unnecessary things. I quit with them in 2009.I served 32 year in the US Army and severely wounded 4 times. I still carry two AK 47 bullets next to my spine and in my right kidney. My left arm held together with titanium for over 50 years. Had a broken left knee cap at age 15, shot in the right knee with a 45 when 29. But that doesn't stop me from walking 12 to 15 kilometers a day. Nor dose the 2wo titanium plates and 26 screws prevent me from bench pressing 110 kilos. Only thing I can do that is both impressive and safe. It would never take horizontal strain. Oh yeah its painful at times, but try to ignore it and it goes away in a day or two.
@@paulinavaldez3913 Sadly it is little thanks considering the way so many vote for Fascist Candidates like Trump and his minions. In the past 50 years the US has been moving back towards the Dark Ages. Costa Rica abolished Slavery as well as the Death Penalty in 1821 upon Independence from the Empire of Mexico
I can't understand how these meds can still be on the market!! I took Gabapentin for about four years and told my doctor it didn't seem to do anything. He didn't seem to react so I slowly weened myself off of it and sure enough I was convinced it was not doing anything for me. I've been off of it four or five years now and I'm fine!
How much Gaba were you on and did you have withdrawals when getting off of it? I am on 600mg per day (200mg morning, 200mg afternoon, 200mg evening) I have been on it for 1 year and have heard terrible things about withdrawals, so I am fearful of trying to get off of it. I also have PN in my feet, fingers, hamstrings and back.
This drug is more dangerous than others in hospital for not breathing tube was in my throat to help me breathe at home with oxygen run like hell from this mad meds
I’m taking Gabapentin 1900 mg for at least 10 yrs. Through the VA and an outside Dr. at Mass General in Bos. Ihave neuropathy in my hands and feet. Real bad in my feet. Neither of them has told me that gabapentin could be causing the neuropathy. Can you tell me how I can find a Dr. to correct the neuropathy if it isn’t too late ? HELP !!!!!!!!!!
The most significant concept to all the medical difficulties is STOP STRESS !....In My case that was cutting loose a wife of 38 years . Had I done that earlier, cleaned up my food shortcomings ,took vitamins I would not have had the health issues. Happiness factor up 100 percent.
Something that I would appreciate is patients testamonials, patients that can describe the journey they had healing PN, how long it took, was it hard with increased pain and finally their "new" life. This would be a massive inspiration for us who just started. Many thanks for opening my eyes.
I had shingles and had been battling with so much burning pains, itching of the site for more than five years Medications prescribed had not helped , I didn't know how to get rid of this pain, but I am happy with the information I got today from from you , knowing that nerves can regenerate with the appropriate nutrients. You are the best . Love from Nigeria
My husband has been on Gabapentin for 10 yrs, max dose for 6 yrs. His liver is damaged and his never pain is getting worse. That worse part is, it’s addictive. If he misses a does, even by a few hours, he starts having flu like symptoms.
@@winsomestewart6500 a month is not a lot of time for that to have an effect but know that many people wont take gabapentin because it makes them have a brain fog. beware. research the possible side effects.
Gabapentin was made and given to people for withdrawals off heroine it's highly addictive and withdrawals are horrible try cbd oil comfrey oil/root powder for pain.
@@winsomestewart6500A few years ago I was prescribed Gabapentine after a few months I had no change in neuropathy. Also, the drug was affecting my brain with some weird sensations. I dropped the drug. There was no negative affect. I still have the neuropathy but no negative side affects from the drug.
13 years ago Mayo clinic gave me max 1 year to live, and had me in 9 prescriptions. I took my self off all of them by 1/2 dose 4 weeks to 1/2 of that, 4 weeks to zero meds....That is 42,000 pills now I never took. I live with 11 percent heart function and I am as active as a teenager. Lived through 6 heart attacks, one stroke, one cancer, one tumor... My problem before was Stress, bad diet, many bad habits . Since then I have put in 3,000 hours in study of cancer and nutrition and currently writing my 11th book. Fun working with folks for free curing cancer and life style maladies. Capt.

There are no words to Thank you for your videos. By the end of this video, I was in tears, knowing that I’m not crazy with my symptoms. And now I know that the Gabapentin I’ve been taking for Fibromyalgia has caused my Neuropathy.
Ugh! I am so sorry you’re having to go through all of this. I am truly glad you found a Videos. Hang in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Hi there. The best part of your video is the end with your adorable cat. Remember Rx a cat for high blood pressure and depression and the don't have any side effects baring the cleaning of the kitty litter box. Love your videos they have clear and concise information. Stay safe out there. Take care and God bless.
Oh my word. I'm T2 diabetic and my neuropathy has been getting worse lately. My doctor lectured me on my diet - and doubled my metformin dose. Need to arrange a conversation.
Wow, at least your doctor actually talks about your diet. My son's diabetes doc is afraid of "shaming" patients (because almost all of them have terrible diets), so at least you have that going for you.
For 7 years I’ve been dealing with nerve pain. Doctors couldn’t find what was wrong with me. Several Mris, Emgs , and all they would do is send me home with Gabapentin, steroids, muscle relaxers. THANK GOD I never took these. I was just like how can you prescribe me something if you don’t know what’s my problem. I thank God I found your channel just a month ago, I’ve been taking and following your supplement regiment and let me tell you I’ve felt so much better! I can’t wait to see how I feel in the next few months. Thank you so much Dr. and God bless you .
Thank you so much for this extremely informative video exposing the dangers of these medications. I've spent the last thirteen years trying to spread the word about Lyrica and Gabapentin, and it is wonderful to see a doctor who is knowledgeable about these medications also spreading the word. I've shared your video in my group, and I hope that members will also share it with their doctors.
Thank you, Chas. That's the best compliment you could give us because we truly do care. These PN cases touch my heart in a way you could not imagine because of what I went through when my mother had her PN, which was severely debilitating. My mother was blessed because she had me to help her navigate. Most people are not that blessed and are left hopeless and suffering, which is why we created this channel. To let peripheral neuropathy sufferers know they're not alone, there is a solution and there is hope. Blessings.
A few years ago I was prescribed gabapentin, and luckily I decided to only take it for three months. I really appreciate this information even though I would love it to have a Spanish translation.
My PCP and 2 specialists had me on 15 different drugs. It caused me many problems, not the least of which was loss of consciousness. I sent each MD a list of what l was taking and who Rx'd what. Never even got a phone call from one. Now l take four drugs and am much better.
I was prescribed a medication for muscle relaxer/muscle spasticity. I developed. It initially seemed to prevent me from sleeping. I switched it to the morning. It seemed that the spasticity increased. My doctor said to take the medication a certain way. I took 1/2 and started experiencing less spasticity but it continued with weird tightness and weakness. Now I'm taking 1/4 which now I feel and am moving much closer to normal. Amazing how a little 2 mg tablet can do so much. This med long term side effects includes kidney damage, dizzy, muscle weakness and I experienced tingling in my legs, and it has negatively affected my blood pressure. Thank you doctor for acknowledging these supplements. I use them to help with the MS.
First day on gabapentin I felt off balance. It passed but after two weeks my feet and ankles began to swell. Doc took me off of it. I have sensitivity to most meds. I have high blood pressure and hashimoto thyroiditis. I also have pernicious anemia so need B12 injections. It took a trip to ER and it was my lucky day! Had a doctor who found my B12 levels were zero! He felt it was at that level for at least 2 years. My GP for years never thought to run a B12 test. I had all of the symptoms of critically low B12 yet they said I needed anti anxiety meds and to take yoga classes. Being so low on b12 for years has caused nerve damage. My left side becomes weak at times. I hate taking medication but do take meds for hypothyroidism and HB. Occasional Tylenol for pain.
The funny thing is they said don't stop your medication with out consult with you doctor first, doctors actually keep giving you More and more with every consultation....and They get offended when you Said something against any medication they prescribe to you and if you reject some of these medications They start treading you with deny medical services to you and start cancelled any futures appointments, they want you to take what they give you without any excuse. They never listen what patient have to say...
I am a Army Combat Medic, and infected with Agent Orange during the Vietnam Campaign, and I am still battling with the effects. I am taking 12 medications, and the Neuropathic meds make me feel like a numbed person. And yet these medications are not helping me or addressing all my symptoms. If these medications have to be eliminated , then I am willing to stop taking these meds…
Hi Benjamin, your story sounds so familiar because my husband died in 2015 due to Agent Orange related diseases. (prostate cancer, lung cancer, and a heart attack). Our daughter (44 now) has suffered all her life with neuropathy in her feet, Trigeminal Neuralgia in her face, skin diseases, mental health disorders and kidney cancer. I often wonder if her illnesses were Agent Orange related. She's been taking Gabapentin for years and a psychotic medication called Ziprasidone. I think both drugs have damaged her. She's incoherent most of the time and unable to work. It's so sad what some of these drugs can do to humans and yet still doesn't ease the pain. If you stop taking Gabapentin, I hope you can successfully live a healthy life without it. Merry Christmas! Linda from Oregon

I am impressed ! Once I got past how attractive you are and started LISTENING , I couldn't help but be amazed just how pleasant /professional you are ! People should take lessons from You on how to present such information . Your VOICE is so clear , You enunciate , no mumble , no accent .You never once tried to be cute or funny , just perfectly presented facts and information ! ! ! I only WISH , I were smart enough to understand more of your presentation ! I was taking two meds . They were CHANGING ME ! I was no longer , ME ! I was beginning to feel really uncomfortable with that . I told my physician . HIS response " Oh , you'll get used to them " . Well , I took them for weeks and only became more strange . So against all advise , I quite them "cold turkey" and have returned to somewhat "normal" , whatever the H THAT is . Everyone talks about "side effects" and cant come to a definitive agreement !! MY , Biggest worry goes WELL beyond THAT , NO ONE has any idea what happens when you're taking MULTIPLE MEDS and they're dumped into a stomach at one time . What NEW compounds are created and what possible SIDE EFFECTS might result from , said concoctions !?!?!?!?!?!?
I am a 73 Old diabetic for 27 years. 13 years on insulin and 8 years on insulin pump with Glucose monitor. I was diagnosed with Severe Lumbar Stenosis about 9 years ago. Te first Surgery did nothing but pain. The second surgery for my spine is scheduled for June 26. Two Years ago I start getting my feet numb as a walk or stand five minutes. I think this is from the Spine. However the neurophaty got worse and worse and about six months ago I got additional B.P. medicine Hydralazine ! The Pharmacy asked to contact my cardiologist to discuss. However I am still using it and my Neurophaty has increased. I just asked the Cardiologist to give me a substitute ASAP. Will wait and see !
Look up Charlotte Gerson , Famous Naturopath Physician’s Daughter . She was a strict. Vegetarian and said healrh is simple it is what you eat ! She was totally knowledgeable about disease and the cure which is all Natural ! She has a famous wellness center in Mexico ! Awsome ! Even Can ears are curable naturally
I have said for many years that I think Effexor caused my neuropathy. I had neuropathy many years before becoming pre diabetic. I was on effexor after the birth of my son at age 33. (Only child) had baby blues and tried different anti depressants and effexor was the one I could tolerate and was able to function. Seven years after being this I decided I thought I could do without taking effexor and gradually weaned myself off Did ok getting off the med but discovered I still needed the med. and started taking it again. Shortly after stopped the med I started has odd pain ( which later diagnosed as fibromyalgia ) and pain in my feet. Couldn’t figure out what was causing the pain then figured it was neuropathy. Tried different meds to help and the only one that worked for me was tramadol It’s sad that side affects are not better exposed (at least I wasn’t aware )
Omg,ive been on effexor since i was in my.late 20's,im now 59. I also have horrific np. Ive been weaning myself off over the last few years. was on 475 mg daily,am now on 185 mg. My dr gives me gabapentin but ive only taken about 4 pills out of 6 scripts. Even after i told him i dodnt want them anymore!! Effexor is an ssri,which is hortific for your body. Good luck my friend!!!
I used a dropper a day of Red Lu-gals or wh-ite iod-ine in water for a 10 day challenge. Went from level 9 pain to zero. Now use when symptoms try to return. Di-abetic neu--ropathy gone 4 years this way. Means it was m e r c u r y.
This dr. is 💯 right. If u dont believe her face the consequences. Of course the se strong medications comes with strong side effects. Sometimes side effects are more horrific. Thanks for ur honesty and ur precious time to educate us.
Watching from Yosemite Kentucky. I've been on metformin, pregabalin (Lyrica), furosimide and 2 other drugs after Lupron D, chemotherapy. Going on 7 years now. I now have severe neuropathy in both feet and hands, so much pain that I had to also go on oxycodone 4 times a day. Thank you for creating these informational videos on nerves.
I’m so glad I found U. I felt numbness in my legs after I stated using a statin. I’m seeing my doc soon for other reasons but this will be at the top of my list. THANK YOU.
I have CIPN from oxaliplatin. I asked my oncologist about meds I could take for the nerve pain and what the side effects would be. Thankfully he told me I was better off learning to live with it without the meds. Wish I had known about ALCAR.
It takes about 3 months on Lyrica for the doppy feeling to go away and the balance issues. I have been on it for over 20 years, I was in a car accd and suffered a sciatica nerve injury and bad neck injury, had surgery and was worst, it was 5 yrs before Lyrica was on the market, I was completly bed ridden at 42 yrs old. When Lrycia came out =, I was put on it, I was given my life back, It is not a cure but they still don't know what to do when a person has all their nerves communicating the wrong signals to the all the muscles. Its like someone turned up the radio all the way to the highest volume, by nerves are beating that loud, and the muscles were losing their membranes fast, so Lyrica saved my life but it would be great if the nerve/muscle research doctors could find a cure. Its like I get it, I think they have kept all the cures from us because of greed and power, for the few at the Top, the Rockfeller family has controlled the Medical Education and Systems set in place in America and they don't want us to know about the cures. Since the 1930's when they would just kill the natural healing doctors who would not comply to their Rules and changes in the Medical Treatments, that they wanted in place, for their own love of money and power. And that is to Make the Guidelines, that they have in place now, if the doctors don't comply, to their guidelines and standard of treatments, they have in place, like for cancer, they can only push chemo and radiation treatments. Can't tell a patient about Diet and Nutrition, etc. or they will lose their License. So the ones at the Top who are the Overlords over our Gov, have made our Medical Political and our science , Political. Political Science, thats why they named it that. And why is our own gov pushing transgender operations that they will pay for in our Educational Public Schools. Cause its not Normal Education anymore. Its Marxist Education Systems, now. Political Education.
Immensely grateful Doctor for this video about peripheral N , how acquired from other drugs . Have some more videos to reverse diabetic and perepheral N from foods . God bless you forever more . 🙏
Doctors caused my nerve damage with radiation , now I try to repair, out of money, homeless and paralyzed ! Do not get radiation and if you do make sure lead blocks are used and you are tatood the first treatment showing where the radiation has been directed.😊
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. The PN was getting worse and the only help I was offered was Gabapentin. I took it for years, and found it to be utterly useless, had side effects, but no benefit, otherwise. In just a few months I have almost complete relief taking ALA and Benfotiamine. I will start back on the l-Carnitine. I am willing to try almost anything for relief. Again, I thank you.
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned that excessive & long term amounts of Vitamin B6 supplements (incl. from B6 fortified foods) can cause peripheral neuropathy. Yet there isn't this issue with B6 from natural food sources. And because a vitamin is water soluble, it doesn't mean that it can't accumulate in the body (B6 has a half life of 25 - 33 days, stored in muscle, plasma, liver etc).
We changed our diet to get our health back by getting away from processed foods, bad seed oils, sugars, high fructose syrup and replaced it with whole organic foods grass fed & grass finished, pasture raised and do our best to stay non-gmo. The “Side Effect” of our choices were that we’ve lost nearly 40 lbs each no longer in need of BP meds, my husband takes only 3 meds now vs the 7 or 8 different drugs that he was on just 3 years ago. I’m 69 and am not on Any medications. Doctors are never interested as to why you have certain symptoms because they’re Not trained to find the Root Cause and help you to Reverse the problem. There’s No Money in doing that . . . It’s Medicate OR Operate. You have to be your Own Advocate. So I am grateful to have found you because you are one in just a Few physicians Brave enough to have this open discussion of the Dark Side of the drugs that are so commonly prescribed. God Bless You !!!
I was taking gabapentin and Lyrica for seven years I was falling asleep everywhere and still walking in pain then just had to stop the medication myself and started homeopathic.
Hi Dr M, your videos provide high level of educational knowledge of how certain medications can harm PN. I found all your videos very useful and watch them with passion and appreciation. I am taking the 7 nutrients that you recommended and Berberine, also diabetes control drugs glimepiride 3 mg, I have reduced my metformin intake, knowing it's side effects. Last week,I had angioplasty done on my left leg as on top of numbness, atrophy is occurring under my ankle. One of my arteries was almost totally obstructed, luckily inflated a bit after a 3 hours angioplasty operation. The radiologist surgeon prescribed Plateel 100g twice daily, I know I need this blood thinner but a bit worried that it maybe harmful for my PN and PAD. I am hoping for your expert opinion on this. Sorry for being so lengthy. Many thanks in advance!
Hi there, Mr. Wong. Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that you needed angioplasty. So, there are a few things I'd like to address to help you get on the right path. I'll start with protecting your nerves from the blood thinner medication. Make sure you're taking Nuphoria cm Blue (which we just changed the name to Nerve Defense). This formulation is going to help protect your nerves from the damage that medications tend to cause. The next thing that I share with ALL of my patients that are on blood thinners/anti-coagulants is let's thin the blood naturally in a healthy way without the many, many side effects that the medications carry with them. The best way to do this is by taking increased dosages of a good quality fish oil (4000 mg, daily). Also taking supplements containing turmeric and ginger work great to keep the blood thin and prevent clotting. Most doctors place their patients on aspirin. I prefer using a supplement of White Willow bark. This is the natural (not synthetic) version of salicylate (aspirin is the synthetic version). White Willow Bark keeps the blood thin and reduces inflammation without the side effects that aspirin carries, like causing gastric ulcerations. Now, your doctor will be monitoring your lab work to check on your platelet count and will usually order tests like PT-INR, aPTT, Fibrinogen, and CBC. This will determine if and when you can stop the blood thinner medication. Mr. Wong....DO NOT STOP THE BLOOD THINNER MEDICATION ON YOUR OWN. Make sure you are working with your doctor to make sure that your labs support this. Also, these natural methods that I outlined will help prevent further plaquing and clogging of your arteries. Blessings.
Im so happy to get conformation.i did the rt thing. I give my Heavenly Father for answering my prayer. Ive always been parchal to pharmaceuticals . I pray for this type of info for those around me. My friend talks more like brag about her 75.00 a mo medication co pay. I cry on the inside. To many of us in our 50,60,70 hv intestinal and abdominal issues from taking so many PILLS I ASK THEM TO SWITCH TO GEL,LIQUID OR POWDER FORMS. AT LEAST IT WILL LESSEN BOWEL ABSTRUCTIONS. AGAIN I SAY THANK YOU AND HEAVENLY FATHER BLESS YOU.
December 2019 I had open heart surgery to replace a mitro valve which had been leaking bad first found in 2006 during a blackout which landed me in in hospital with heart rate below 30 beats a minute causing cardiologist to install pacemaker which I believe saved my life I have three years left on my second pacemaker, by the way the mitral valve is bovine which I’m sure will eventually need changing this December will be four years.I say all this in relation to my diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy which came right after my open heart surgery some of these drugs you’ve talked about were thrown at me for the pain at 79 years old I’m in terrible shape having issues with walking and dizziness etc being forced to use a cane is not my style I fall frequently being what I thought was a tough ol marine from Vietnam era I’ve come to believe that the issue of exposure to Agent Orange has exacerbated my condition. Sorry to be so lengthy so I will close
My husband was discovered to have a congenital prolapsed mitral valve. He was given the option if porcine( pig)valve and mechanical. We opted for be mechanical, which would not require replacement. Good thing, because there was a surgical error and NEGLECT. The neglect resulted in a medically-induced coma(complications!) and now he has post-traumatic peripheral neuropathy.
@ Chris Jarvis… wow, just reading your post, if I didn’t know it, I would think you were a Physician ! I give you credit for taking charge of your health… you have inspired me to keep researching and trying what works for me.. I have tried to follow my PCPs supposed- professional advice, but have been disappointed in her apathetic attitude .. If it wasn’t for me questioning her and asking for other means of treatment, I most likely would never get any better.. and headed towards a downward spiral of pain meds and a sedentary life due to pain and hopelessness… thank you for sharing your story ! you sound like a amazing person to go through all your medical issues and still manage to keep a positive attitude, in spite of all the negativity and limited education that is out there in society… God bless you !!!! don’t- NEVER GIVE UP HOPE…💫🙏🏽🕊🌱👍🏽
Is their any blood pressure medication on the marked that I can take that wont affect my nerves? I'm taking AMLODIPINE and METOPROLOL now and I'm starting to have problems with my feet and balance .
Hi Mike. As you heard in this video, Amlodipine is a big no-no because it's a Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB). You want to stay away from CCBs and thiazide diuretics (HCTZ) if possible. Anti-hypertensives that are safer for the nervous system are Ace Inhibitors and Beta-blockers and the last one would be ARBs. Your doctor will know what all of these are. When switching antihypertensives, make sure you monitor your blood pressure closely as often your doctor will have to adjust your medications until he/she finds the right combo to maintain your BP. Blessings.
@@suevesely4531 have you done a MRI, my first one in 2010 was diagnosed with a blood vessel pressing on my trigeminal nerve, I had a second one last year in a private hospital and it showed that the trigeminal nerve was normal, I went to see a dentist and she made a mouthguard as I was clenching my teeth at night. It worked., I must admit I prayed a lot as the pain was unbearable and I went from acupuncture to Bowen and finally to a kinesiologist.
I'm so glad my husband and I no longer take Gabapentin. I have Peripheral Neuropathy. I am no longer taking Metformin. I am on a Ketogenic way of eating which got me off my diabetic medications. However, I'm still working on getting my A1C lowered. It is stuck at 6.2. It has been as low as 5.6. I have a lot of healing to do. I am also on Ropinirole, Rosuvastatin and Citalopram. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
How much Gaba were you on and did you have withdrawals when getting off of it? I am on 600mg per day (200mg morning, 200mg afternoon, 200mg evening) I have been on it for 1 year and have heard terrible things about withdrawals, so I am fearful of trying to get off of it. I also have PN in my feet, fingers, hamstrings and back.
My doctor took me off of gabapentin because he saw something in my blood work. This was back on the 80's. I have PAD and I'm going to have surgery on May 12th.
I am a t2d recovering from 5 years of agonizing peripheral neuropathy. Couldn't afford ins, couldn't afford a pcp let alone an endo for the longest time so had no access to any rx's to control the pain, had to do so w/naproxen and tylenol alternating days, and topicals like voltaren and epsom salt gel and cbd creams just to get a few hours of sleep, (almost never more than 3 to 4 hours per night). Learned about benfotiamine, ala and b complex... and am finally almost, ALMOST back to normal during the days... weather makes evenings worse but still nowhere near what it used to be. In spite of the complications (accelerated retinopathy) caused by the otc orals used almost daily... I am certainly grateful I never was able to get any of the rx's as the complications from THEM would have been worse. Thank you for all the incredible information you provide so others don't have to suffer the way I and so many others have had to!
Thank you so much for this informative video! I have PN in my feet, fingers, hamstrings and back. I have been on Gabapentin for 1 year and it has not helped. I want to get off of it but I have heard terrible things about withdrawals, and I am fearful of trying. I am on 600mg per day (200mg morning, 200mg afternoon, 200mg evening) What is the best way to wean off this drug? I would love to try these supplements instead! Help!
I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I was on 1800mg a day. 600mg 3x a day. Reduced by 200mg a day for 3 weeks each 200mg. KNOW, withdrawal is no joke. Be prepared to fall. It makes you uncoordinated. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL ON THIS STUFF...WTF! Good luck.
Whatever you do, don't stop it cold turkey. I did in May 2020 and I had withdrawals for 2 years. Gabapentin is a devil drug! Anyway there's a video on YT that explains how to gradually stop it. Sorry I don't know who made it.. search for titration.
@gottakeeppumpingiron I took Gabapentin for 3 months ( was pescribed for 6 ) and my pharmacist told to not stop at once. First week same 3 per day, second week 2 per day, and one per day the third week. I quit taking them because the pain had left ( trauma in one ear)
As slowly as possible. I am not a doctor. 50 mg every 2 weeks. Becareful walking. It makes you uncoordinated. You may trip and fall. Pls don't even think of drinking on this stuff.
My primary care doctor wanted to prescribe gabapentin as a first "cure" for my diagnosed peripheral neuropathy. When asked about side effects(dizziness and lethargy) she gave two side effects as did the pharmacist when I asked her. additionally, the trial dosage prescribed was less than two weeks… Recommendations for effectiveness I have learned begins after two weeks. After taking a five days with no effect I decided against taking gabapentin. Doctors and pharmacist may not be "bad people" but they certainly have a responsibility while prescribing treatment to help a patient and not harm them according to the oath they take.
Thank you. Side effect caused many of my elder issues (one of which is nondiabetic peripheral neuropathy). What was worse is the interactions between the drugs. At one point, i was one over 10 medications. Looking into the interactions was a nightmare; not even a pharamcist could help. By reducing the number of meds to less than 5 (including vitamins and minerals) my health has greatly improved. Further, the symptoms i was taking meds for disapppeared.
I was given a shot shot on my arm so that my arthritis in my knee would be able to bend. But I noticed days later that something was different on my body. Couldn't explain it. About a week later, I started feeling tingling all over my body, and then I felt shooting electric pulses of pain in different areas. My left hand really hurts to grab items that I never had before. I asked what the shot was, and I was told that it was a pain reliever that relieved inflammation.
Was on 5 mg amlodipine daily for 2 years. Last 6 months started having very scary arm & leg symptoms of constant achy pain & weakness. Like having a very tight boot on & weak ankles to the point of buying a cane for support. Switched to lorsortan 2 weeks ago & drastically improved. Hopefully will be back to normal soon.
I have taken 4 meds for decades. At least 2 of them, a statin and omeprazole, I wish I had never started. The physicians who prescribed them are sure they’re still necessary.
Gabapentin was prescribed tome for Shingles pain. It made me feel suicidal. I told my doctor and she took me oof of it, but listed it as an allergen for me. Shingles is intensely painful, but use topicals if possible, like lidocaine but still don’t overdo it. I ended up using lite applications of aloe vera on the rash, and an ice pack wrapped in a towel.

And Also Please Tell Something More Details about Nitric Oxide, What is it? Medicine or Suppliment? where do we Get it at What Price? What Doses we should take per Day? sfbeng 🙏🏻💐
Hi there-Love, Peace...Hate War (I love your handle!!). Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad that you found our channel and are finding it helpful Hopefully at some point you'll be able to watch my video on "They said My Mother's Neuropathy Was Permanent" (ua-cam.com/video/VLUfLUDh7Ew/v-deo.html). This video will give you a bit more insight into how we became experts in this area. After successfully reversing my mother's neuropathy, then going on to work with our patients, Dr. Coppola and I developed Nerve Support formulas called: Nuphoria cm Gold and Blue. Here's the link: bit.ly/3T4XmrE We developed this formula so that people did not have to buy 7 different bottles of the necessary nutrients and take 20 pills per day. After developing these formulas, we then went on to develop our Pain Cream formula: bit.ly/3dLbqre We did extensive research to see which essential oils were effective for diminishing nerve pain. We wanted this cream to be all-natural without tons of chemicals like most pain creams have. Regarding medications: If at all possible, it is best to avoid any medication for peripheral neuropathy and the most common ones are Gabapentin (Neurontin), Lyrica (pregabalin), and Cymbalta (duloxetine). All of these medications come with consequences as I went over in this video. Now there are times when the symptoms are so severe that taking one of these medications is necessary. It should always be short-term, just to control the pain. The one that is the lesser of the evils (but not by much) is gabapentin. Do not take Amitriptyline or Cymbalta (Duloxetine). these will distort and imbalance your neurotransmitters and will be extremely difficult to get off. Regarding nitric oxide, we did a video on this called: "The Miracle Molecule" ua-cam.com/video/Tyf3rSVkP6s/v-deo.html. This will explain more about nitric oxide, what it is and its effect on the body. One of the nutrients we use to increase Nitric Oxide levels is L-citrulline which you will find in our Nuphoria cm Blue formula. Also, using photobiomodulation (PBM) will greatly increase nitric oxide levels. Watch this video: "Healing Nerves With Light" ua-cam.com/video/NNXDuFc5cHU/v-deo.html Let me know if you have any other questions. We love helping and guiding people on the right path. Blessings.
I think a calcium channel blocker and a statin might have caused my small fiber neuropathy. I am going to see a functional medicine doctor and get off of all of this crap. Your Nuphoria Gold has helped me a lot! So much hope thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just got your book for a friend who I am very worried about.
One doctor pushed Lyrica on me even though it was a new drug. I had several episodes where I wanted to end my life. The sanme happened with Gabapentin. Stay away from these drugs, especially SSRIs.
I have had the same doctor for 44 years!!! I don't take any of these drugs, and I do not have diabetes. I do have two numb pinkie fingers from using a walker with a broken leg. I have had a nerve doctor do a test on my hands and arms, and she said it was in The hands. I am taking Methyl B-12 and it is working to bring feeling back to my fingers. (My feet are just fine) I always ask my regular doctor about any supplements that I take. He handles ALL of my medications, so there are no conflicts with them. Thank You, for listing the drugs that make nerve damage worse, I will stay away from them.
Consulting the Pharmacist is more important than a Medical Doctor. (BTW, Whoopie Goldberg on the 'View', says Doctor Jill would be great as the Surgeon General of the U.S.?)

My 22 yr old son has many neurological issues . He has no diagnosis yet ! I started to look up natural ways to help . He’s been taking multivitamins and B1 - magnesium- D3 -K2 - It has helped his stomach tremendously! And has had less numbness, tingling and pain . His headaches are still a issue. He is now trying taking B2 and will be adding B6 in small amounts after he sees how the B2 works . I found this channel and I’m hopeful to find more information. Drs have no answers . Sadly he’s been to several. I’m going to have him try the Acetyl carotene after watching this channel ! He has bad posture- he’s going to physical therapy for his neck. I think he should see a chiropractor.
Hi LB. I'm so sorry your poor son is going through so much. I definitely recommend you take him to a functional medicine doctor in your area. They will be able to assess his entire body system to get to the root cause. Here's a link to find one in your area: www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner/? I want to commend you for being proactive. Keep up the good work.
I quit Metformin almost 2 years ago after taking it for over 20 years. When doctors kept trying to put me on the same drugs as everyone around me were taking, I realized I had to make a risky decision . After two years of no drugs my quality of life has improved. But I also don’t eat packaged consumables. I only eat real food…Real raw sugar,butter,cream, meat. Don’t follow numbers, but pay attention to my body. Can’t reverse the nerve damage I have. But at least I don’t experience side affects. The Medical industry has destroyed peoples lives with willful deception for profit over people because that’s what “Industries” do. I’ll use it if I have an emergency because there are people I don’t want to let down. But I don’t even get sick and never got Covid when it seemed I should. Feeling better is all I can ask for at my age. I can only do that if I don’t trust people who want me to take drugs.
I take Depakote for my Epilepsy. But my Epilepsy started the same time my neuropathy started. I quit taking Lyrica a few months ago. I couldn't tell it was helping. And I also have osteoarthritis. But since taking depakote I can tell my memory has gotten bad. And I was in my early 40's when it started.
Cipro-Flagyl cocktail gave me 20+ serious neurological side effects. I'm 70 and many drugs should not be given to people my age. After going off everything, most of my serious neurological symptoms. Historically, my body reacts horribly to pharmaceuticals. I have a list of about 25 that have given me serious reactions since I was in high school. My body only tolerates natural treatments.

A couple of years ago my freind weighed over 400 lbs and was diabetic. The doctor wanted to put her on more medicine because she wasn't doing well. She got mad, said that she wasn't overweight and had no problems until they put her on medication. So she quit seeing the doctors, stopped taking all medications and went on a super low carb diet and started walking for exercise. Two years later she just got her weight down to 190 lbs and is officially not diabetic anymore. She also just turned 78 years old. She looks fantastic and feels amazing.
Good for your friend.
These anti meds stories are amazing !!! Fortunately I don’t take any meds and look at Holism”s natural remedies ❤ God Bless
Being fat has long-term effects. 400 LBS IS FAT.
That's fantastic
Good to know that..
We, as Americans, must make a concerted effort to be proactive in our own health. In America, there is not enough emphasis on PREVENTION of illness.
@Ruth Most Americans are too dependent on doctors and do not do their homework or want to change their diet and lifestyle. Sad truth.
Very true - Ruth -- and -- what '''really''' bothers 'me' - is the complete lack of effort to find cures (?) as apposed to perpetually treating the symptoms ! -- A disgusting practice for continued profit while we all suffer ''incurably'' ? = A ruthless practice !

Got finger infections out of nowhere, no cuts, good hygiene, and the MDs bombarded me with strong antibiotics. After finishing the 3 courses of the antib my health went havoc for quite a while. Now, I learned the lesson and am taking 1 raw garlic per day with coconut yogurt, as a natural antib, and if finger infections start to give some signs of returning, then I soak the finger(s) in a iodized fine salt, add extra salt over the infection and - voilà. I’m doctoring myself as often as possible to save my health.
Excellent, well done.

At one time I took anti-anxiety medication which then led to restless leg syndrome and a diagnosis of Sjogrens Syndrome. I also took medications for migraines and acid reflux. I also took allergy medication. Two years ago I changed my diet by giving up sugar from my diet and by eating once a day. I started feeling better than I had in years so I decided to ask my Dr if I could start to wean off my medications to see what would happen. Happily I no longer take any medications with the exception of an allergy medication that I take only when they flair up. I no longer have anxiety, restless leg syndrome, no sjogrens, no migraines, no acid reflux. I’m 63 and feel better than I have in decades.
EXCELLENT! Good for you and that's great news!!
How do you rate Amitriptyline for nerve pain
Acid reflux meds are the worse, really mess up the digestation and stomach, in the long run, you will be in worse shape.

That's why i don't take gabapentin or pregabalin which are for pain tho my doctor prescribes the above and may affect my kidney.
I am actually wondering, are doctors learning enough to help patients to get better ?
GREAT QUESTION, XAVIER. Unfortunately, most doctors training revolves mainly around prescribing drugs and this has to do with the extensive control pharmaceutical companies indirectly have over med school curriculum
Not my Dr’s …they’ve Only concern is have you gotten C-19 Jabs. That’s enough to Stop using them. And Prescribing harmful drugs.
As much as we would like to think doctors are helping their prescribing pills to mask the pain etc if they really wanted to help us and no help the manufactures profit they would be find or telling us how to get better because all the meds will eventually create other health issues. These holistic etc ways to do some things. And sometimes we have to be our own solution. Not all doctors some there are some that go against the grain and are for the patient. But we have to do the work. 🙏❤️

@xavier dominic Hi there. Personally, l don’t think so. We need more doctors who are not so bláse about many things. This is insufferable. And l’m tough! As a matter of fact, l couldn’t believe my DERMATOLOGIST found l had lung cancer!! .. 😳!! I also have a rare skin condition; the sun & sea that l’m addicted too, was the the only thing that keeps it a bay.. until l need a coupla days of Prendisone.

Happy to say at age 76 I take no medications prescribed or otherwise. My wife 46, takes 15 prescribed drugs and is a wreck due them. I am American but have lived in Central America since 2013. Past 6 years in Costa Rica. I am a Us Army Vet and the VA used to medicate me for all kinds of unnecessary things. I quit with them in 2009.I served 32 year in the US Army and severely wounded 4 times. I still carry two AK 47 bullets next to my spine and in my right kidney. My left arm held together with titanium for over 50 years. Had a broken left knee cap at age 15, shot in the right knee with a 45 when 29. But that doesn't stop me from walking 12 to 15 kilometers a day. Nor dose the 2wo titanium plates and 26 screws prevent me from bench pressing 110 kilos. Only thing I can do that is both impressive and safe. It would never take horizontal strain. Oh yeah its painful at times, but try to ignore it and it goes away in a day or two.

For 7 years I’ve been dealing with nerve pain. Doctors couldn’t find what was wrong with me. Several Mris, Emgs , and all they would do is send me home with Gabapentin, steroids, muscle relaxers. THANK GOD I never took these. I was just like how can you prescribe me something if you don’t know what’s my problem. I thank God I found your channel just a month ago, I’ve been taking and following your supplement regiment and let me tell you I’ve felt so much better! I can’t wait to see how I feel in the next few months. Thank you so much Dr. and God bless you .
Thank you so much for this extremely informative video exposing the dangers of these medications. I've spent the last thirteen years trying to spread the word about Lyrica and Gabapentin, and it is wonderful to see a doctor who is knowledgeable about these medications also spreading the word. I've shared your video in my group, and I hope that members will also share it with their doctors.
My doctor tried to give me gabapentin. I read the information about it and refused to take it. It's a dangerous medication.
Incredible knowledge, information and presentation. You genuinely seem to care. Thats nearly impossible to find in today's world.
Thank you, Chas. That's the best compliment you could give us because we truly do care. These PN cases touch my heart in a way you could not imagine because of what I went through when my mother had her PN, which was severely debilitating. My mother was blessed because she had me to help her navigate. Most people are not that blessed and are left hopeless and suffering, which is why we created this channel. To let peripheral neuropathy sufferers know they're not alone, there is a solution and there is hope. Blessings.

My PCP and 2 specialists had me on 15 different
drugs. It caused me many problems, not the least of which was loss of consciousness. I sent each MD a list of what l was taking and who Rx'd what. Never even got a phone call from one. Now l take
four drugs and am much better.
I was prescribed a medication for muscle relaxer/muscle spasticity. I developed. It initially seemed to prevent me from sleeping. I switched it to the morning. It seemed that the spasticity increased. My doctor said to take the medication a certain way. I took 1/2 and started experiencing less spasticity but it continued with weird tightness and weakness. Now I'm taking 1/4 which now I feel and am moving much closer to normal. Amazing how a little 2 mg tablet can do so much. This med long term side effects includes kidney damage, dizzy, muscle weakness and I experienced tingling in my legs, and it has negatively affected my blood pressure. Thank you doctor for acknowledging these supplements. I use them to help with the MS.

What medication was it??
First day on gabapentin I felt off balance. It passed but after two weeks my feet and ankles began to swell. Doc took me off of it. I have sensitivity to most meds. I have high blood pressure and hashimoto thyroiditis. I also have pernicious anemia so need B12 injections. It took a trip to ER and it was my lucky day! Had a doctor who found my B12 levels were zero! He felt it was at that level for at least 2 years. My GP for years never thought to run a B12 test. I had all of the symptoms of critically low B12 yet they said I needed anti anxiety meds and to take yoga classes. Being so low on b12 for years has caused nerve damage. My left side becomes weak at times. I hate taking medication but do take meds for hypothyroidism and HB. Occasional Tylenol for pain.
You are so very right I’m a retired nurse. I’m also diabetic and have a fib. I cannot take any of these meds at all
What are the safest medicines for bringing down blood pressure?
The funny thing is they said don't stop your medication with out consult with you doctor first, doctors actually keep giving you More and more with every consultation....and They get offended when you Said something against any medication they prescribe to you and if you reject some of these medications They start treading you with deny medical services to you and start cancelled any futures appointments, they want you to take what they give you without any excuse. They never listen what patient have to say...
Then you better get a new doctor
Good luck with that in Western Canada

If Gabapentin causes that is in some, it causes it possibly in all those who ingest it!
That's great news!
Hello what herbs are you taking for your neurotypical rhanks
@@dorothyfields602Ginkgo biloba, Valerian, Thyme, Oregano, Dill, but not the same ones everyday ❣️
@@judydoucette8762 hi Judy do you take 1 of each every day and can all of these herbs be purchased from a pharmacy thanks
I am a Army Combat Medic, and infected with Agent Orange during the Vietnam Campaign, and I am still battling with the effects. I am taking 12 medications, and the Neuropathic meds make me feel like a numbed person. And yet these medications are not helping me or addressing all my symptoms. If these medications have to be eliminated , then I am willing to stop taking these meds…
Hi Benjamin, your story sounds so familiar because my husband died in 2015 due to Agent Orange related diseases. (prostate cancer, lung cancer, and a heart attack). Our daughter (44 now) has suffered all her life with neuropathy in her feet, Trigeminal Neuralgia in her face, skin diseases, mental health disorders and kidney cancer. I often wonder if her illnesses were Agent Orange related. She's been taking Gabapentin for years and a psychotic medication called Ziprasidone. I think both drugs have damaged her. She's incoherent most of the time and unable to work. It's so sad what some of these drugs can do to humans and yet still doesn't ease the pain. If you stop taking Gabapentin, I hope you can successfully live a healthy life without it. Merry Christmas!
Linda from Oregon
GOD BLESS YOU DOCTOR!!!!
KEEP THE GOOD WORK COMMING!!!!!!
Thank you so much!

I am impressed ! Once I got past how attractive you are and started LISTENING , I couldn't help but be amazed just how pleasant /professional you are ! People should take lessons from You on how to present such information . Your VOICE is so clear , You enunciate , no mumble , no accent .You never once tried to be cute or funny , just perfectly presented facts and information ! ! ! I only WISH , I were smart enough to understand more of your presentation !
I was taking two meds . They were CHANGING ME ! I was no longer , ME ! I was beginning to feel really uncomfortable with that . I told my physician . HIS response " Oh , you'll get used to them " . Well , I took them for weeks and only became more strange . So against all advise , I quite them "cold turkey" and have returned to somewhat "normal" , whatever the H THAT is .
Everyone talks about "side effects" and cant come to a definitive agreement !! MY , Biggest worry goes WELL beyond THAT ,
NO ONE has any idea what happens when you're taking MULTIPLE MEDS and they're dumped into a stomach at one time . What NEW compounds are created and what possible SIDE EFFECTS might result from , said concoctions !?!?!?!?!?!?
I am a 73 Old diabetic for 27 years. 13 years on insulin and 8 years on insulin pump with Glucose monitor. I was diagnosed with Severe Lumbar Stenosis about 9 years ago. Te first Surgery did nothing but pain. The second surgery for my spine is scheduled for June 26. Two Years ago I start getting my feet numb as a walk or stand five minutes. I think this is from the Spine. However the neurophaty got worse and worse and about six months ago I got additional B.P. medicine Hydralazine !
The Pharmacy asked to contact my cardiologist to discuss. However I am still using it and my Neurophaty has increased.
I just asked the Cardiologist to give me a substitute ASAP. Will wait and see !
Look up Charlotte Gerson , Famous Naturopath Physician’s Daughter . She was a strict. Vegetarian and said healrh is simple it is what you eat ! She was totally knowledgeable about disease and the cure which is all Natural ! She has a famous
wellness center in Mexico ! Awsome ! Even Can ears are curable naturally
Prescription medication side effects could be worse than the symptoms or deadly
I have said for many years that I think Effexor caused my neuropathy. I had neuropathy many years before becoming pre diabetic. I was on effexor after the birth of my son at age 33. (Only child) had baby blues and tried different anti depressants and effexor was the one I could tolerate and was able to function. Seven years after being this I decided I thought I could do without taking effexor and gradually weaned myself off Did ok getting off the med but discovered I still needed the med. and started taking it again. Shortly after stopped the med I started has odd pain ( which later diagnosed as fibromyalgia ) and pain in my feet. Couldn’t figure out what was causing the pain then figured it was neuropathy. Tried different meds to help and the only one that worked for me was tramadol It’s sad that side affects are not better exposed (at least I wasn’t aware )
Omg,ive been on effexor since i was in my.late 20's,im now 59. I also have horrific np. Ive been weaning myself off over the last few years. was on 475 mg daily,am now on 185 mg. My dr gives me gabapentin but ive only taken about 4 pills out of 6 scripts. Even after i told him i dodnt want them anymore!! Effexor is an ssri,which is hortific for your body. Good luck my friend!!!
I used a dropper a day of Red Lu-gals or wh-ite iod-ine in water for a 10 day challenge. Went from level 9 pain to zero. Now use when symptoms try to return. Di-abetic neu--ropathy gone 4 years this way. Means it was m e r c u r y.
Thanks a lot mam. Excellent service for the suffering
Could you talk about how Xanax effects the nerves? This was in your first video series. I am a sufferer of cipn- thank you.
This dr. is 💯 right. If u dont believe her face the consequences. Of course the se strong medications comes with strong side effects. Sometimes side effects are more horrific. Thanks for ur honesty and ur precious time to educate us.
My pleasure. 💖
Watching from Yosemite Kentucky. I've been on metformin, pregabalin (Lyrica), furosimide and 2 other drugs after Lupron D, chemotherapy. Going on 7 years now. I now have severe neuropathy in both feet and hands, so much pain that I had to also go on oxycodone 4 times a day. Thank you for creating these informational videos on nerves.
Bless you. Just got done with chemo with my 12th. Sucks.
I’m so glad I found U. I felt numbness in my legs after I stated using a statin. I’m seeing my doc soon for other reasons but this will be at the top of my list. THANK YOU.
I have CIPN from oxaliplatin. I asked my oncologist about meds I could take for the nerve pain and what the side effects would be. Thankfully he told me I was better off learning to live with it without the meds. Wish I had known about ALCAR.
Although am not taking any med's we all know someone who is. I have started LCarnitine serrapeptase NAC recently. Your channel is a blessing.
I took lyrica for 10 days and had to stop. It worked wonders on the nerve pain in my arms, however it made doppy and it made me lose my balance.
It takes about 3 months on Lyrica for the doppy feeling to go away and the balance issues. I have been on it for over 20 years, I was in a car accd and suffered a sciatica nerve injury and bad neck injury, had surgery and was worst, it was 5 yrs before Lyrica was on the market, I was completly bed ridden at 42 yrs old. When Lrycia came out =, I was put on it, I was given my life back, It is not a cure but they still don't know what to do when a person has all their nerves communicating the wrong signals to the all the muscles. Its like someone turned up the radio all the way to the highest volume, by nerves are beating that loud, and the muscles were losing their membranes fast, so Lyrica saved my life but it would be great if the nerve/muscle research doctors could find a cure. Its like I get it, I think they have kept all the cures from us because of greed and power, for the few at the Top, the Rockfeller family has controlled the Medical Education and Systems set in place in America and they don't want us to know about the cures. Since the 1930's when they would just kill the natural healing doctors who would not comply to their Rules and changes in the Medical Treatments, that they wanted in place, for their own love of money and power. And that is to Make the Guidelines, that they have in place now, if the doctors don't comply, to their guidelines and standard of treatments, they have in place, like for cancer, they can only push chemo and radiation treatments. Can't tell a patient about Diet and Nutrition, etc. or they will lose their License. So the ones at the Top who are the Overlords over our Gov, have made our Medical Political and our science , Political. Political Science, thats why they named it that. And why is our own gov pushing transgender operations that they will pay for in our Educational Public Schools. Cause its not Normal Education anymore. Its Marxist Education Systems, now. Political Education.
Imagine my surprise that nerves can heal.....I wasn't. Guess that's why I kept searching. Thank you for your due diligence.
You're so welcome
My brother was an MD, working in a hospital ER. He died at age 52.....and was taking 13 different meds at the time!
I'm so sorry to hear that. I've treated many M.D.'s who are on multiple medications. It truly is sad.
So sad.
very sorry for ur loss
So sorry to read this.

Thank you so much, Kenneth. Blessings.
Immensely grateful Doctor for this video about peripheral N , how acquired from other drugs . Have some more videos to reverse diabetic and perepheral N from foods . God bless you forever more . 🙏
Thank you.
Doctors caused my nerve damage with radiation , now I try to repair, out of money, homeless and paralyzed ! Do not get radiation and if you do make sure lead blocks are used and you are tatood the first treatment showing where the radiation has been directed.😊
Please make video about sciatica and how we can treat this.
Hi A M. Your wish is my command (lol). Here you go....ua-cam.com/video/xORtq7Kmeps/v-deo.html

Thank you for sharing this valuable information. The PN was getting worse and the only help I was offered was Gabapentin. I took it for years, and found it to be utterly useless, had side effects, but no benefit, otherwise. In just a few months I have almost complete relief taking ALA and Benfotiamine. I will start back on the
l-Carnitine. I am willing to try almost anything for relief. Again, I thank you.
You're very welcome.
@The Nerve Doctor Neuropathy Pain
Cause my breathing to stop was in ICU 3 days breathing tube
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned that excessive & long term amounts of Vitamin B6 supplements (incl. from B6 fortified foods) can cause peripheral neuropathy. Yet there isn't this issue with B6 from natural food sources.
And because a vitamin is water soluble, it doesn't mean that it can't accumulate in the body (B6 has a half life of 25 - 33 days, stored in muscle, plasma, liver etc).
Yes 10mg or under of B6 is all that should be taken daily. Many B complex tablets have 40mg of B6. Be careful.
I thought the B vitamins were supposed to be good for neuropathy.
We changed our diet to get our health back by getting away from processed foods, bad seed oils, sugars, high fructose syrup and replaced it with whole organic foods grass fed & grass finished, pasture raised and do our best to stay non-gmo. The “Side Effect” of our choices were that we’ve lost nearly 40 lbs each no longer in need of BP meds, my husband takes only 3 meds now vs the 7 or 8 different drugs that he was on just 3 years ago. I’m 69 and am not on Any medications. Doctors are never interested as to why you have certain symptoms because they’re Not trained to find the Root Cause and help you to Reverse the problem. There’s No Money in doing that . . . It’s Medicate OR Operate. You have to be your Own Advocate. So I am grateful to have found you because you are one in just a Few physicians Brave enough to have this open discussion of the Dark Side of the drugs that are so commonly prescribed. God Bless You !!!
Hi, Truly! I'm so glad our videos have been helpful. Thank you so much for watching!
Dr Valarie. I wish I could hug you right now 😢🫂 Thank you so much for this valuable information 🙏🙏
No more Gabapentin for me as of now was taking it for fibromyalgia and would not even help
I was taking gabapentin and Lyrica for seven years I was falling asleep everywhere and still walking in pain then just had to stop the medication myself and started homeopathic.
Are you feeling better now? Lions mane is good
Hi Dr M, your videos provide high level of educational knowledge of how certain medications can harm PN. I found all your videos very useful and watch them with passion and appreciation. I am taking the 7 nutrients that you recommended and Berberine, also diabetes control drugs glimepiride 3 mg, I have reduced my metformin intake, knowing it's side effects. Last week,I had angioplasty done on my left leg as on top of numbness, atrophy is occurring under my ankle. One of my arteries was almost totally obstructed, luckily inflated a bit after a 3 hours angioplasty operation. The radiologist surgeon prescribed Plateel 100g twice daily, I know I need this blood thinner but a bit worried that it maybe harmful for my PN and PAD. I am hoping for your expert opinion on this. Sorry for being so lengthy. Many thanks in advance!
Hi there, Mr. Wong. Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that you needed angioplasty. So, there are a few things I'd like to address to help you get on the right path. I'll start with protecting your nerves from the blood thinner medication. Make sure you're taking Nuphoria cm Blue (which we just changed the name to Nerve Defense). This formulation is going to help protect your nerves from the damage that medications tend to cause. The next thing that I share with ALL of my patients that are on blood thinners/anti-coagulants is let's thin the blood naturally in a healthy way without the many, many side effects that the medications carry with them. The best way to do this is by taking increased dosages of a good quality fish oil (4000 mg, daily). Also taking supplements containing turmeric and ginger work great to keep the blood thin and prevent clotting. Most doctors place their patients on aspirin. I prefer using a supplement of White Willow bark. This is the natural (not synthetic) version of salicylate (aspirin is the synthetic version). White Willow Bark keeps the blood thin and reduces inflammation without the side effects that aspirin carries, like causing gastric ulcerations. Now, your doctor will be monitoring your lab work to check on your platelet count and will usually order tests like PT-INR, aPTT, Fibrinogen, and CBC. This will determine if and when you can stop the blood thinner medication. Mr. Wong....DO NOT STOP THE BLOOD THINNER MEDICATION ON YOUR OWN. Make sure you are working with your doctor to make sure that your labs support this. Also, these natural methods that I outlined will help prevent further plaquing and clogging of your arteries. Blessings.

Im so happy to get conformation.i did the rt thing. I give my Heavenly Father for answering my prayer. Ive always been parchal to pharmaceuticals . I pray for this type of info for those around me. My friend talks more like brag about her 75.00 a mo medication co pay. I cry on the inside. To many of us in our 50,60,70 hv intestinal and abdominal issues from taking so many PILLS I ASK THEM TO SWITCH TO GEL,LIQUID OR POWDER FORMS. AT LEAST IT WILL LESSEN BOWEL ABSTRUCTIONS.

December 2019 I had open heart surgery to replace a mitro valve which had been leaking bad first found in 2006 during a blackout which landed me in in hospital with heart rate below 30 beats a minute causing cardiologist to install pacemaker which I believe saved my life I have three years left on my second pacemaker, by the way the mitral valve is bovine which I’m sure will eventually need changing this December will be four years.I say all this in relation to my diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy which came right after my open heart surgery some of these drugs you’ve talked about were thrown at me for the pain at 79 years old I’m in terrible shape having issues with walking and dizziness etc being forced to use a cane is not my style I fall frequently being what I thought was a tough ol marine from Vietnam era I’ve come to believe that the issue of exposure to Agent Orange has exacerbated my condition. Sorry to be so lengthy so I will close
My husband was discovered to have a congenital prolapsed mitral valve. He was given the option if porcine( pig)valve and mechanical. We opted for be mechanical, which would not require replacement. Good thing, because there was a surgical error and NEGLECT. The neglect resulted in a medically-induced coma(complications!) and now he has post-traumatic peripheral neuropathy.
@ Chris Jarvis…
wow, just reading your post, if I didn’t know it, I would think you were a Physician ! I give you credit for taking charge of your health… you have inspired me to keep researching and trying what works for me.. I have tried to follow my PCPs supposed- professional advice, but have been disappointed in her apathetic attitude ..
If it wasn’t for me questioning her and asking for other means of treatment, I most likely would never get any better..
and headed towards a downward spiral of pain meds and a sedentary life due to pain and hopelessness…
thank you for sharing your story !
you sound like a amazing person to go through all your medical issues and still manage to keep a positive attitude, in spite of all the negativity and limited education that is out there in society…
God bless you !!!!
don’t- NEVER GIVE UP HOPE…💫🙏🏽🕊🌱👍🏽
Thank You for this information, how much of Acetyl L Carnitine do you take?
Is their any blood pressure medication on the marked that I can take that wont affect my nerves? I'm taking AMLODIPINE and METOPROLOL now and I'm starting to have problems with my feet and balance .
Hi Mike. As you heard in this video, Amlodipine is a big no-no because it's a Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB). You want to stay away from CCBs and thiazide diuretics (HCTZ) if possible. Anti-hypertensives that are safer for the nervous system are Ace Inhibitors and Beta-blockers and the last one would be ARBs. Your doctor will know what all of these are. When switching antihypertensives, make sure you monitor your blood pressure closely as often your doctor will have to adjust your medications until he/she finds the right combo to maintain your BP. Blessings.
I was on carbamazepine for 9 years, it affected my liver, skin etc. I took homeopathic medicine and stopped the carbamazepine
Me, too. On both. Can hardly walk or stand with out losing my balance. Walking is hard, so I do not go very far. Too young to be like this.
@@suevesely4531 have you done a MRI, my first one in 2010 was diagnosed with a blood vessel pressing on my trigeminal nerve, I had a second one last year in a private hospital and it showed that the trigeminal nerve was normal, I went to see a dentist and she made a mouthguard as I was clenching my teeth at night. It worked., I must admit I prayed a lot as the pain was unbearable and I went from acupuncture to Bowen and finally to a kinesiologist.
I'm so glad my husband and I no longer take Gabapentin. I have Peripheral Neuropathy. I am no longer taking Metformin. I am on a Ketogenic way of eating which got me off my diabetic medications. However, I'm still working on getting my A1C lowered. It is stuck at 6.2. It has been as low as 5.6. I have a lot of healing to do. I am also on Ropinirole, Rosuvastatin and Citalopram. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
How much Gaba were you on and did you have withdrawals when getting off of it? I am on 600mg per day (200mg morning, 200mg afternoon, 200mg evening) I have been on it for 1 year and have heard terrible things about withdrawals, so I am fearful of trying to get off of it. I also have PN in my feet, fingers, hamstrings and back.
Too much focus on A1C.
Never introduce your body to statins.
The brain is made of cholesterol.
A little less red meat and go for walks TWICE daily.
Gabapentin can also cause dementia so sad 😭😭
My doctor took me off of gabapentin because he saw something in my blood work. This was back on the 80's. I have PAD and I'm going to have surgery on May 12th.
Great info. Can you please give me more information on that study such as name and how many cohorts in that study. Thank you
I am a t2d recovering from 5 years of agonizing peripheral neuropathy. Couldn't afford ins, couldn't afford a pcp let alone an endo for the longest time so had no access to any rx's to control the pain, had to do so w/naproxen and tylenol alternating days, and topicals like voltaren and epsom salt gel and cbd creams just to get a few hours of sleep, (almost never more than 3 to 4 hours per night). Learned about benfotiamine, ala and b complex... and am finally almost, ALMOST back to normal during the days... weather makes evenings worse but still nowhere near what it used to be. In spite of the complications (accelerated retinopathy) caused by the otc orals used almost daily... I am certainly grateful I never was able to get any of the rx's as the complications from THEM would have been worse. Thank you for all the incredible information you provide so others don't have to suffer the way I and so many others have had to!
Thank you so much for this informative video! I have PN in my feet, fingers, hamstrings and back. I have been on Gabapentin for 1 year and it has not helped. I want to get off of it but I have heard terrible things about withdrawals, and I am fearful of trying. I am on 600mg per day (200mg morning, 200mg afternoon, 200mg evening) What is the best way to wean off this drug? I would love to try these supplements instead! Help!
I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I was on 1800mg a day. 600mg 3x a day. Reduced by 200mg a day for 3 weeks each 200mg. KNOW, withdrawal is no joke. Be prepared to fall. It makes you uncoordinated. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL ON THIS STUFF...WTF!
Good luck.
Whatever you do, don't stop it cold turkey. I did in May 2020 and I had withdrawals for 2 years. Gabapentin is a devil drug! Anyway there's a video on YT that explains how to gradually stop it. Sorry I don't know who made it.. search for titration.
That's not too high, go down to 2 a day for a week, then 1 a day for a week, then none
@gottakeeppumpingiron I took Gabapentin for 3 months ( was pescribed for 6 ) and my pharmacist told to not stop at once. First week same 3 per day, second week 2 per day, and one per day the third week. I quit taking them because the pain had left ( trauma in one ear)
As slowly as possible. I am not a doctor. 50 mg every 2 weeks. Becareful walking. It makes you uncoordinated. You may trip and fall. Pls don't even think of drinking on this stuff.
My primary care doctor wanted to prescribe gabapentin as a first "cure" for my diagnosed peripheral neuropathy. When asked about side effects(dizziness and lethargy) she gave two side effects as did the pharmacist when I asked her. additionally, the trial dosage prescribed was less than two weeks… Recommendations for effectiveness I have learned begins after two weeks. After taking a five days with no effect I decided against taking gabapentin. Doctors and pharmacist may not be "bad people" but they certainly have a responsibility while prescribing treatment to help a patient and not harm them according to the oath they take.
Do you consider sciatica to be a kind of peripheral neuropathy, or do you consider it a separate, different condition?
In my experience, sciatica is inflammation in that nerve.
Thank you. Side effect caused many of my elder issues (one of which is nondiabetic peripheral neuropathy). What was worse is the interactions between the drugs. At one point, i was one over 10 medications. Looking into the interactions was a nightmare; not even a pharamcist could help.
By reducing the number of meds to less than 5 (including vitamins and minerals) my health has greatly improved. Further, the symptoms i was taking meds for disapppeared.
Excellent information -thank you!
Hi Rich. Nice hearing from you again. So, glad it was helpful! Hope your new year is off to a smashing start! Blessings.
I was given a shot shot on my arm so that my arthritis in my knee would be able to bend. But I noticed days later that something was different on my body. Couldn't explain it. About a week later, I started feeling tingling all over my body, and then I felt shooting electric pulses of pain in different areas. My left hand really hurts to grab items that I never had before. I asked what the shot was, and I was told that it was a pain reliever that relieved inflammation.
Was on 5 mg amlodipine daily for 2 years. Last 6 months started having very scary arm & leg symptoms of constant achy pain & weakness. Like having a very tight boot on & weak ankles to the point of buying a cane for support. Switched to lorsortan 2 weeks ago & drastically improved. Hopefully will be back to normal soon.
I am in Mozambique very poor country have taken these medication and went I stopped and now doing herbals because I was so sick..and changed my diet.
I had the same, once I got off it I didn’t have any problems since
I have taken 4 meds for decades. At least 2 of them, a statin and omeprazole, I wish I had never started. The physicians who prescribed them are sure they’re still necessary.
Gabapentin was prescribed tome for Shingles pain. It made me feel suicidal. I told my doctor and she took me oof of it, but listed it as an allergen for me. Shingles is intensely painful, but use topicals if possible, like lidocaine but still don’t overdo it. I ended up using lite applications of aloe vera on the rash, and an ice pack wrapped in a towel.
I thank you frome the bottom of my heart for this information

Hi there-Love, Peace...Hate War (I love your handle!!). Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad that you found our channel and are finding it helpful Hopefully at some point you'll be able to watch my video on "They said My Mother's Neuropathy Was Permanent" (ua-cam.com/video/VLUfLUDh7Ew/v-deo.html). This video will give you a bit more insight into how we became experts in this area. After successfully reversing my mother's neuropathy, then going on to work with our patients, Dr. Coppola and I developed Nerve Support formulas called: Nuphoria cm Gold and Blue. Here's the link: bit.ly/3T4XmrE We developed this formula so that people did not have to buy 7 different bottles of the necessary nutrients and take 20 pills per day. After developing these formulas, we then went on to develop our Pain Cream formula: bit.ly/3dLbqre We did extensive research to see which essential oils were effective for diminishing nerve pain. We wanted this cream to be all-natural without tons of chemicals like most pain creams have.
Regarding medications: If at all possible, it is best to avoid any medication for peripheral neuropathy and the most common ones are Gabapentin (Neurontin), Lyrica (pregabalin), and Cymbalta (duloxetine). All of these medications come with consequences as I went over in this video. Now there are times when the symptoms are so severe that taking one of these medications is necessary. It should always be short-term, just to control the pain. The one that is the lesser of the evils (but not by much) is gabapentin. Do not take Amitriptyline or Cymbalta (Duloxetine). these will distort and imbalance your neurotransmitters and will be extremely difficult to get off.
Regarding nitric oxide, we did a video on this called: "The Miracle Molecule" ua-cam.com/video/Tyf3rSVkP6s/v-deo.html. This will explain more about nitric oxide, what it is and its effect on the body. One of the nutrients we use to increase Nitric Oxide levels is L-citrulline which you will find in our Nuphoria cm Blue formula. Also, using photobiomodulation (PBM) will greatly increase nitric oxide levels. Watch this video: "Healing Nerves With Light" ua-cam.com/video/NNXDuFc5cHU/v-deo.html
Let me know if you have any other questions. We love helping and guiding people on the right path. Blessings.
I think a calcium channel blocker and a statin might have caused my small fiber neuropathy. I am going to see a functional medicine doctor and get off of all of this crap. Your Nuphoria Gold has helped me a lot! So much hope thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just got your book for a friend who I am very worried about.
Same here! I suspect the use of Diltiazem cream to be the cause of all my neuropatic symptoms.
One doctor pushed Lyrica on me even though it was a new drug. I had several episodes where I wanted to end my life. The sanme happened with Gabapentin. Stay away from these drugs, especially SSRIs.
Sigh. I had already strated down this path - on instinct - now I know why. Thanks!

This happens commonly. You have to get your gut healed first in order to be able to take the nerve support supplements. Hang in there.
Thank you for the information, I am grateful.
I used to transport people to pain-clinics. There seems to be a linkage between Fibromyalgia
and taking pain pills, as many of them had this condition
I have had the same doctor for 44 years!!! I don't take any of these drugs, and I do not have diabetes. I do have two numb pinkie fingers from using a walker with a broken leg. I have had a nerve doctor do a test on my hands and arms, and she said it was in The hands. I am taking Methyl B-12 and it is working to bring feeling back to my fingers. (My feet are just fine) I always ask my regular doctor about any supplements that I take. He handles ALL of my medications, so there are no conflicts with them. Thank You, for listing the drugs that make nerve damage worse, I will stay away from them.
You are so welcome!

My 22 yr old son has many neurological issues . He has no diagnosis yet ! I started to look up natural ways to help . He’s been taking multivitamins and B1 - magnesium- D3 -K2 - It has helped his stomach tremendously! And has had less numbness, tingling and pain . His headaches are still a issue. He is now trying taking B2 and will be adding B6 in small amounts after he sees how the B2 works .
I found this channel and I’m hopeful to find more information. Drs have no answers . Sadly he’s been to several.
I’m going to have him try the Acetyl carotene after watching this channel !
He has bad posture- he’s going to physical therapy for his neck. I think he should see a chiropractor.
Hi LB. I'm so sorry your poor son is going through so much. I definitely recommend you take him to a functional medicine doctor in your area. They will be able to assess his entire body system to get to the root cause. Here's a link to find one in your area: www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner/?
I want to commend you for being proactive. Keep up the good work.
I quit Metformin almost 2 years ago after taking it for over 20 years. When doctors kept trying to put me on the same drugs as everyone around me were taking, I realized I had to make a risky decision . After two years of no drugs my quality of life has improved. But I also don’t eat packaged consumables. I only eat real food…Real raw sugar,butter,cream, meat. Don’t follow numbers, but pay attention to my body. Can’t reverse the nerve damage I have. But at least I don’t experience side affects.
The Medical industry has destroyed peoples lives with willful deception for profit over people because that’s what “Industries” do. I’ll use it if I have an emergency because there are people I don’t want to let down. But I don’t even get sick and never got Covid when it seemed I should. Feeling better is all I can ask for at my age. I can only do that if I don’t trust people who want me to take drugs.
I take Depakote for my Epilepsy. But my Epilepsy started the same time my neuropathy started. I quit taking Lyrica a few months ago. I couldn't tell it was helping. And I also have osteoarthritis.
But since taking depakote I can tell my memory has gotten bad. And I was in my early 40's when it started.
Trouble is insurance doesn't pay for functional drs. So unless you can afford out of pocket you are left with regular m.d.s
Thank you. Nerve damage due to radiation, recommend other treatment, if possible. Paralyzed, homes . Without friends and family.
Cipro-Flagyl cocktail gave me 20+ serious neurological side effects. I'm 70 and many drugs should not be given to people my age. After going off everything, most of my serious neurological symptoms. Historically, my body reacts horribly to pharmaceuticals. I have a list of about 25 that have given me serious reactions since I was in high school. My body only tolerates natural treatments.
Neuropathy of my feet is serious and disability.
Cipro - Flagyl after serious animal bite
