Our diagnostics currently do not indicate molecular/cellular imbalances. Have you considered tests for Toxic chemical/metal accumulation- Clifford Materials Evaluation test, Apoptosis, Elemental Hair/Fecal contamination,etc.? MRI show structural aspects brain-PET & SPECT show functional where many insidious accumulations of substances over a life time bind themselves to the hypothalamus/pituitary axis in the basal ganglia creating many neuro/muscular/endocrine-entire systemic affects - have alot more suggestions if your interested. I am beginning a Cultural Transformation Network. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear Tricia,
There are many complimentary therapies that could assist you in reversing your symptoms. As a certified reflexologist, I can say that competent reflexology can work wonders on the conditions that you describe especially when followed by acupressure. Opening up blocked energy pathways can give you the relief you are looking for. In my practice, I always present a full Naturopathic program along with the therapies which enhances the healing process. One therapy above all else that I believe would help you is CranioSacral Therapy when performed by a highly trained, competent therapist. I offer this therapy as well. You didn't say where you were from, but I wish you well with your search and for your healing. God Bless

Dear Tricia; When all else fails (in the realm of neurology, physiology, chiropractic etc.) - then try the exotic and peculiar, such as: repositioning chakras that are off-line, taking your very precise constitutional homeopathic remedy or ruling out implants) by extra-terrestials... these sound crazy, but they are more common than most of us realize.

Hopping from one theory to the other and from one therapist to the next may be costly in time, effort, energy and money, so it is best to do the test that can pinpoint the actual CAUSES with great precision, and get rid of the problem once and for all. Holistic Testing is done in person (in NYC) and HOLOGRAPHIC TESTING is done from far (through a hair sample or a few drops of blood). Read www.naturaltherapy.com for more details. Quantum Therapy can help you overcome the problem once the exact causes are identified. Your health and quality of life are too precious to submit to guesswork. Read the book on Multi-Dimensional Testing and on Quantum Therapy ("Anything Less is a Compromise")to get deeper insight.

Are you on a conscious path of spiritual living? Do you have pangs of being a healer? There may be an impulse from within calling your attention to explore hands-on healing.

Also, the feet & legs take us places, indicating direction. The hands are doers, we get things done. Are you moving in the direction that's right for you and doing what needs to be done for your happiness and wellbeing?

I'd be pleased to explore the metaphors of your symptoms through the email address above.

Blessings,

Dear Tricia,

I have seen wonderful results using NeuoStructural Therapy (aka: Bowen Therapy) for numbness, tingling, chronic pain, MS, fibromyalgia, and the list goes on and on. You can find out more information about this amazing therapy by going to www.usbowen.com

From my experience in working with the human body, it sounds like there is a contraction deep inside the body somewhere that is causing pressure on the nerves. As the body is an intricate network, anything being out of alignment by even a millimeter causes stress and tension throughout the entire body. I would highly recommend working with an accupunturist, or someone who is familiar with "unwinding" bodywork.

As I do not know where you are located, I cannot recommend anyone, but if you send me your location, I can try to locate someone for you. In the meantime, you have received some excellent advice from the replies.

Peace, Love and Light,

Consult your healthcare provider, a knowledgeable massage therapist , or physical therapist. They should be able to give you some excellent positional suggestions for sleeping, driving, desk sitting, etc that may be more ergonomically helpful for you.

Consider contacting a Certified Reflexologist (CR) - describe your symptoms and SEE HIM/HER. (Listings of Local CRs are avail. from the International Institute of Reflexology, St. Petersburg, FL)

Be Well. Best Regards

I suffered from Carpal Tunnel syndrome for many years, which has the same symptoms. FINALLY, after many different approaches, I found that so many of the food substances I was eating, I had an intolerance to. Try cutting out the caffeine, sugar, alcohol, and all gluten & dairy products. Stay away from spicy foods and eat pineapple (it has bromelaid, a natural anti-inflammatory).

Elimination of toxic foods cured my carpal tunnel. I also receive weekly massages & energy work.

Acupuncture was helpful for immediate, but temporary relief.

Good luck!

Your symptoms from what you disclose indicate perhaps a neuropathy. Without all the facts I would add that you consider eating warming foods for the cold symptoms. These include root vegetables yellow in color like turnip parsnip and fruits that grow near to the sun. apples oranges etc. However for the tingling you might add a good multi vitamin; include, B1, B6, Niacin and eat foods containing these micro nutrients, Whole wheat bread, Brown rice and grains that have been unatenuated. Ginger is warming as is Ginseng and certain spices.

Sometimes it's an indication of sugar diabetes, and both are indicative of poor circulation and poor diet. So stop the sugar, caffeine, alcohol, eat lots of dark green veggies! cut down the carbs. And so important, EXERCISE, work the heart rate, work up a sweat for at least ten minutes a day. Get regular DEEP intensive massage by someone who really knows how to work with meridians, and learn to breath. Take a breath workshop or better, do Anada YOGA to do all of the above and connect spiritually which is always the cause of any dis-ease!
Good luck and GOD BLESS YOU.

I had something similar and it was tension (or stress). If the back/shoulder muscles are tight and tense this can cause a restriction in the flow of your body energy (chi). I went to an acupuncturist and after several sessions, it was cleared up.

Here is simple exercise to try. This is to bring more energy (chi) into your body and to move any tension or stress out. Begin---Sit upright, take a few breaths in/out and feel your body relax.
Image#1---Invite golden healing light into the top of your head. See that light moving from the top of your head moving down your body, flowing through your spine all the way down towards your feet, and out.
Image#2---Continue breathing, relaxing, then invite golden light to come up from the bottom of your feet and to move to the top head, and out.
Combine Image#1 & Image #2---As you continue breathing, relaxing, see the light coming in from the top of your head and moving down your spine towards your feet AND also, see the light coming in from the bottom of your feet and moving to the top of your head. This is your grounding cord. Now, as you continue relaxing and breathing, notice any places that feel tense. If it is in your back, breath light and energy into that area. And as you breath light and energy into that area, see it expanding and filling your entire body. Breath out all the tension or soreness out through your arms and out through your finger tips.
Conclusion: I hope this helps, please call or email me if you have any questions.

Re: tingling
2nd question posted in group

Posted by Paul Brailsford on May 13, 2001

Two years ago I was diagnosed with Intermittent Claudication in my left calf due hardening of my femoral artery in my eighty third year.

Since that time I been work out our local YMCA every other day. I now do a mile on the treadmill at 3 mph with having to stop.

Lately I've noticed a tingling just above my left ankle, whernlieing down watching TV. Skin looks perfectly normal with no indication of irritation.

I take a multi vitamin plus an aspirin each day.

Breakfast is oatmeal, raisins and a table spoon of peanut butter. Lunch frozen spinach, peas, crushed garlic and 2 koz of sardines. followed buy peanut butter and blueberry jam on Ezicial bread.

Dinner is Fish, plus vegetables

I am very active.most people think I'm in my early sixties. Weigh 175 lbs, ht 70 inches, B.P 142/78

Should I be asking for an angioplast to remove obstruction in my left femoral artery to stop tingling?

I have regular medical check ups.

Paul Brailsford


Response to Paul Brailsford
IV Chelation or Oral Chelation might help. I have oral chelation that's comprised of herbs, EDTA, and various other nutrients that I use for patients in my office. This would be an option rather than angioplasty.
Email me I can help you get the program if you want.
