Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Reflex
Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
CRPS or RSD are terms
commonly used to describe severe pain and burning in an
upper or lower limb or body part following an injury. It
starts with a burning pain and stiffness in an arm or
leg at the site of an injury, but then extends beyond
the original injury. The pain is out of proportion
to the injury. The
injury can be the result of something minor such as a
sprain or small laceration or after major trauma,
surgery, crush injuries, fractures, pressure on a nerve,
and radiation therapy. The
Cause Research
done and published in the Japanese Journal of Clinical
Medicine^
shows this pain to result from injuries to the nervous
system. With RDS or CRPS,
these nerve injuries many change the way nerve impulses
are sent, causing a "short circuit". When
the sheathing oft nerve cells are damaged or degenerate
due to the injury, the signals being transmitted are
scrambled, resulting in your body receiving signals that
are interpreted as numbness, heat, cold, tingling, pain,
etc. This s 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. RSD
shows up as one or more of the following symptoms:
-
Burning pain in the
limbs
-
Feeling of cold,
burning or pain in the hands, feet or legs
-
Extreme sensitivity
to touch, even a light touch..
The pain is often worse
at night.
Can this nerve damage
be reversed?
It has been known for
some time that increased levels of Thiamine (vitamin B1)
in the blood stream are very effective in reducing and
reversing nerve damage. Unfortunately, the oral intake
of vitamin B1 does not greatly increase the levels of B1
in the blood stream.
Previously, the way that
blood stream levels of B1 was increased was through
periodic intravenous feeding or through injections every
few weeks.
The reason that
injections have to be used is that thiamine (sometimes
spelled Thiamine) like all the B vitamins, is
water-soluble. Thiamine cannot be stored in the
body and flushes out within 4 to 5 hours.
Oral intake of Thiamine
over 5 mg. results in greatly reduced absorbability, and
is flushed right out of the body (this is why urine
frequently turns yellow when taking larger dosage of B
vitamins).
Additionally, nerve
damage has been found to be made worse by insufficient
amounts of B12 in the body.
Vitamin B12 supports the
sheathing that protects nerve cells and has shown in
studies to promote the regeneration and growth of nerve
cells.
In the past, it has been
difficult to remedy the B12 deficiency. The
reason for this is that, while vitamin B12 is readily
stored by the body, it is not readily absorbed by the
body.
For this reason much
larger amounts have been used in supplementation, but
even large oral dosages have not bee an adequate
solution.
The most common type of
vitamin B12 used in supplements is called
Cynocobalamin. Taking Cyanocobalaine can result in
absorption of as little as 1/2 of 1% of the amount
taken, which makes it almost impossible to get enough of
this vitally important vitamin.
In addition, to the very
low absorption, the body must convert the
Cynaocobalamine (which cannot be used by the body) to a
form of vitamin B12 the body can use called
Methylcobalamin.
Unfortunately, as the
body gets older, it loses this ability to convert
Cynocobalamine to Methylcobalamin.
For the above reasons,
as people get older, many physicians recommend regular
monthly injections of vitamins B12 to maintain adequate
body levels or to replenish greatly depleted stores of
this vital nutrient.
A Remedy for
this Problem:
You might have heard of the new type
of vitamin B1 being produced, called Benfotiamine. It is
a fat-soluble version of vitamin B1. What does this
mean? It means this new form of vitamin B1 can be
taken orally in large dosages and it will not flush out
of the body the way ordinary Thiamine (vitamin B1) does.
The result is that by taking
Benfotiamine the blood stream levels of vitamin B1 can
now be greatly increased, nutritionally supporting the
body to rapidly and effectively decrease or eliminate
the symptoms of Neuropathy.
Also available is Methylcobalamine
(called Methyl B12). This is the form of vitamin B12
that can be directly utilized by the body and is
available in the quantities nutritionally needed by the
body to repair itself. Methyl B12 can be taken orally
and is immediately available to the body much like
injectable vitamin B12.
Where can I find these
supplements?
RECOMMENDED: (This is
where we have researched products and found one that we
know will work for nerve damage and for you)
The vitamins talked about above are
available together. The name of the product is
“Nerve
Support Formula”
It contains both Benfotiamine and Methyl B12. The result
is that the blood stream levels of vitamin B1 and
vitamin B12 can be greatly increased, providing the
nutritional support needed by the body to rapidly and
far more effectively to decrease or eliminate the
symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy by repairing
the nerve damage that was done.
Reports are that someone previously
using just the Benfotiamine reported a lessening of
their symptoms within 4 to 7 days. The “Nerve
Support Formula” is far more effective than either
the Benfotiamine or Methyl B12 alone.
Both Benfotiamine and Methyl B12 have
been shown to be non-toxic and without any side effects
even in very high dosages.
These vitamins have a 90 Day money
back guarantee and the company who makes it also has a live
support line. This money back guarantee means
that you can buy 1, 2 or 3 bottles (up to three months
worth) and return them if this doesn't work for you.
They have consultants that will guide you
through whatever you need to do to get relief.
They don't just sell you a vitamin.
Sounds too good to be true. We researched it and
found that they have a 85-90% success rate.
How fast does it work? Well, that depends on the
individual's genetics and the severity of the
neuropathy.
However, people often have gotten
relief in as little as two weeks. Some
take longer, due to the fact that this remedy is
actually giving the body what it needs to heal the body.
It allows the body to actually repair the nerves
They have lots of great success
