What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy is where the outer sheathing (protective covering, also called the myelin sheath) of nerve cells (also called neurons) starts to degenerate. This is similar to an electrical wire that is covered with insulation, and the insulation is beginning to crumble. Without insulation the unprotected wire will start short-circuiting.

In the same way, when the sheathing of nerve cells degenerate, the signals being transmitted are scrambled, resulting in your body receiving signals that are interpreted as numbness, heat, cold, tingling, pain, etc. in the toes, feet, legs, fingers, hands and arms.

Major Causes of Neuropathy

Diabetes: Many diabetics suffer from neuropathy, also referred to as diabetic nerve damage. Higher than normal sugar levels caused by diets high in carbohydrates and incorrect nutrition can lead to diabetic neuropathy. Furthermore, many diabetes medications can make the problems worse.

Certain Prescription Drugs: Most drugs that lower cholesterol, many blood pressure medications & even a few antibiotics can cause neuropathy.

Chemotherapy & Radiation Treatments: Chemo drugs and radiation treatments often cause neuropathy in cancer patients.

Injuries & Operations: Often when a major injury or surgery occurs, the nerves in that area can be damaged. After many years, the damaged nerves can develop neuropathy.

How to Manage Neuropathy

The only way to correctly manage diabetic neuropathy is to address the real causes, not the symptoms. This involves improving the control of your blood sugar levels, implementing a lower carbohydrate diet and taking the nutrients your body needs.

There are two vitamins which are absolutely vital to nerve health but that up until recently have not been easily available in a form that can be more readily absorbed and used by the body: Benfotiamine, a special form of Vitamin B1, and Methylcobalamin, a special form of vitamin B12.
