Medications & Peripheral Neuropathy - Part 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Medicines are meant to help, not harm. But sometimes taking too many drugs can be dangerous.
Although some medications can save lives, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates “Americans buy much more medicine per person than any other country”.
World statistics reveal that the United States is the most over-medicated country, resulting in drug-disease interactions.
This is a frequent culprit with so many new peripheral neuropathy cases. More and more people are developing peripheral neuropathy which is being labeled as idiopathic, meaning of unknown origin. When in fact, the origin of the nerve damage is due to one or more of the medications that are currently prescribed for these people.
I can’t impress enough how important it is for each person to be informed because most doctors are only aware of 1 or 2 possible side effects, at best, from each drug they prescribe.
So, in this video, which is the second part to: Is Your medication causing neuropathy? I’m going to uncover even more commonly prescribed medications that are linked with causing nerve damage.
San Antonio Neuropathy Center
Dr. Monteiro and Dr. Coppola are the founders of the San Antonio Neuropathy Center where they’ve been helping people recover from neuropathy for over 18 years. Their services have been sought after from people throughout the United States and Internationally. Their unique approach is drug-free, non-surgical and helps relieve neuropathy symptoms while restoring function and repairing damaged nerves.
NUPHORIA cm
Dr. Coppola and Dr Monteiro also developed a neuropathy product line called NUPHORIA cm designed specifically to help their patients recover faster from neuropathy. Once available only to their patients within their clinic, NUHORIA cm is now available to the public at:

Defeat Neuropathy Now … In Spite of Your Doctor
Dr. Monteiro and Dr. Coppola are the co-authors of the book Defeat Neuropathy Now … In Spite of Your Doctor. This book gives the reader an “Eye-Opening” look into why medications and traditional therapies leave most neuropathy sufferers stuck in misery without hope. This book is a survival manual for anyone suffering with neuropathy. Get your copy today at: bit.ly/Defeat-Neuropathy-Now

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 ! This at best is treating patients as 'lab rats' w/o a lab !!! --?--
I am an advocate for myself. Some of my Dr's don't like it.
@@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.
Excellent, well done.
Vitamin C and zinc are also good for our immune systems, and sunshine.
Look out or dishwashing liquid with germ killers in it.
@@GypsyGirl317I have to be at death’s door before I take antibiotics and they have assure me it will cure my problem.
Diabetes
The doctors in the west are dumb and greedy❤😂
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.

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
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.
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.💔
I tried stopping Lyrica and omg ... I'm right there with u
@@suzannepoffel2160 p] p❤
I called them my "Stupid meds" I was so out of it taking them, I quit!
I pray The LORD God Jesus Christ heal you soul, mind, & body. Blessings to you.
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.
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.
First, thank you for your service and sacrifices.
Your story is amazing and encouraging. God has really blessed you!😊
@riskyron1416. Wow you have had a risky life, Ron! 😅
Thank you for your service Sir...GOD Bless you...

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
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. 🙏❤️
@@davemi00 You don't have to take them; just do basic safe things!
@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. 🥼👨🏽🔬
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.
prayers for your husband. btw i asked my doc "has anyone ever told you they used to have neuropathy?" A quick nope was the answer given.
I have been taking gabbapentin for a month and still having a lot of pain what should I do
@@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.
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.
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
Pharmaceutical companies own the networks
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. 💖
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!

This is very very informative. Thank you so much, Dr. M ❤❤❤
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 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.

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!

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.
Have you tried captions in Spanish?
It numbed my joints. Felt so weird. But better than cold sharp pains. Stopped it soon after.
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.
Doctor I have so many diabetic friends who suffer with neuropathy and are on some of the medications you discussed.
Thanks for the information.
Will suggest the see their physician
Great job
Thank you so much!
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.

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.
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 .

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.😊
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.

Prescription medication side effects could be worse than the symptoms or deadly
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.

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.

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 !?!?!?!?!?!?

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.

wellness center in Mexico ! Awsome ! Even Can ears are curable naturally
Thank you Madam, for all your advices. Also your advices on Benfotiamine
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.
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
Gabapentin can also cause dementia so sad 😭😭
There are no words to describe your esteem !
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 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.

Cause my breathing to stop was in ICU 3 days breathing tube
👍 Very helpful and informative information. Thank you.
J.R. Zippie So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
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.
Thank you for the info very informative have a blessed day
Mary Bailey You are so very welcome!
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 was just wondering why I was feeling worse, until a friend I introduced me to certain herbs and natural medicine.
I'm feeling so much better now ❣️
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
Thank you for the useful information!!!
Thank you so much for your very important information.
Lillian R You are so very welcome!
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.
No more Gabapentin for me as of now was taking it for fibromyalgia and would not even help
Excellent video
You are so right, I'm stopping taking all the pills, August last year I started taking some of the pills you talked about. I will stop right now. Thanks 😊
Please make sure you do not stop taking any medication, cold turkey. You can cause significant harm to yourself. If you've been on a medication for 6 months or longer you need to wean off of it slowly with your doctors supervision. If your doctor is unwilling to supervise, it may be time to find another doctor. I do applaud you for being proactive with your health. I just want to make sure you are safe.
Thank You for this information, how much of Acetyl L Carnitine do you take?
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.
Thank you sooooo much for this info ❤
kathy smith You are so very welcome!
Yes, you were very precise n pleasant to listen to.
Thank you for your help.
Btw, you ARE a very pretty educator. Keep up the great work 👍
Love this channel!This is brainfood ❤
Thank you for this information, people need to know!!
Liked, Subscribed and shared. Stay well! ❤
Thanks for your knowledge
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.
Good teaching thank you.
You're Welcome
Thanks dear for information. I see so many drugs of which should be helpful . . How will ever make the right choice
Please make video about sciatica and how we can treat this.
Hi A M. Your wish is my command (lol). Here you go....ruclips.net/video/xORtq7Kmeps/видео.html
Blessings.
You have so much info.
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.
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.
@@NerveDoctors Thanks a million for your expert input! God bless ❤️

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
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.
Really appreciated
Good video!
Happy New Year, Marko. So nice to hear from you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for the feedback. Blessings.
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.
Thank you so much, i opt out of gilbapertamin and stick to b12 and b6
Thank you doctor.
You're welcome! 😊
