Ask Dr. Barre

[Sonya]

Hi Barre, do you have any advice as regards diabetic peripheral neuropathy please? I didn’t actually join this platform to get myself health advice, I joined to extend my learning in all directions but I appear to be getting shoved in the health direction this last couple of weeks!

I was diagnosed as being diabetic a few years ago but refused medication. My accidents led to very limited mobility, an unhealthy diet, weight gain, plus I was running two businesses so working day and night. So I’m now unravelling it backwards, eating well again, have lost 5 stone, struggling with exercise because of my legs but chair gardening and chair dancing helps, and am trying to stop being a night owl and to get more natural light, which is harder in the depths of winter, I’m very outdoorsy when it’s warmer. You almost feel a sense of shame as you know you’ve done it to yourself even if some circumstances were out of your control. Also the herbs have just arrived to start some herbal liver work.

But I’m still awake at 5am again because of the extreme pain in my feet and lower legs so I’m presuming that diabetic neuropathy is what it is…. burning, intense sharp shooting pain, crawling sensations, some numbness and cramping/spasms of my feet and toes. It also seems to be worse at night.

I was taking lions mane in tincture form but it’s very expensive so I thought I’d ask your thoughts so that I’m spending my pennies in the wisest way.

Hey Sonya

First off, “diabetic” neuropathy is a misnomer based on disease theory. Relative to any blood sugar imbalances you’re already addressing the most-important life-style issues that underpin the condition, so now it’s a matter of increasing microcirculation within the connective tissue matrix where nerves imbibe nutrition. Here are a few considerations:

1) Sufficient populations of indigenous micro-organism seeds of the Mucor racemosis life-cycle are the biological workers responsible for proper micro-circulation and blood viscosity necessary for regeneration of nerves (see SymbioMuc in the isopathic product pages);

2) Kalium Phosphoricum, Mag Phos & Kalium Muriaticum are the primary Cell Salts for nerve function, but be sure to determine you Constitutional and Bridge Salts as per the Cell Salts product pages;

3) Technologies: Cupping the affected area with Hydrogen/Brown’s Gas via Aquacure would be amazing, as would red light therapy. Supplemental Methylene Blue will amplify the effects of both.

I know this requires equipment, but I strongly feel every household should have an Aquacure to mitigate the effects of WiFi, Cell Towers, Chemtrails, Pharmaceuticals etc that are all neurotoxins responsible for the epidemic rise in neurological afflictions including neuropathies. When hydrogen levels are deficient it is very difficult for any regeneration to occur, especially nerves. Natural hydrogen levels are maintained via Bacteria in the gut via digestion, but even the best of us have compromised gut biomes due to all of the aforementioned contaminants. Lymphatic-liver stasis occurs during sleep as musculo-skeletal movement comes to a halt, so any pre-existing liver congestion will amplify symptoms at night and first of morning. Weekly coffee enemas will assist in relieving hepato-biliary overwhelm.

Dr. Lando I hope you won’t mind asking me a question that is also related to diabetes. A friend of my is “being treated for diabetes type 1” with Nova Rapid Insulin. He has nerve damage in his bones & fibromylgia. My advice to him would be to stop the “medicine” immediately and get the cell salts, however I don’t know whether is it safe for him to stop injecting himself with what they call insulin all at once, or should he wean off of it slowly? Also, is it correct to assume that all you’ve written in your reply to Sonya would also apply to my friend?

Thank you.

He also takes takes Nexium tablets & Ultibro Breezhaler on top of the ‘medicine’ I’ve already mentioned.

[barre]

Pharmaceuticals force a physiological adaptation that needs an accommodation period if weaning off of them becomes desirable. Any rapid elimination without allowing the body to resume normal function can be harsh and possibly dangerous. Natural supports ie herbals, sound-light tx, isopathics, manual therapies etc. that target the cause of why drugs were prescribed in the 1st place can, of course, expedite & make the re-transition smoother. My clinical approach would always leave ample time for this process when a patient elected to do so: 1) depending on the situation and health of the individual I’d take a 3-6 mos. of very gradual dose reduction accompanied by evaluations, 2) natural supports were introduced days or weeks prior to retrain normal function ahead of commencing discontinuation, while monitoring progress, 3) the weaning-off would include extremely low amounts of the drug relative to the initially prescribed dose … even down to a single grain scored from a tablet, capsule or injection for the final weeks. So one might take 2 weeks at 3/4 dose, then 1/2, 1/4 down to eventually almost nothing, and 4) I’d prepare a homeopathic dilution of the drug to be taken daily for the final weeks. This may seem extreme on the cautionary side, but it will assure the absence of stressful or detrimental withdrawal symptoms.

Thank you so much for your reply Dr. Lando, I will pass the information on. It is priceless. Thank you ??

Hi Sonya!

As someone who has had type 1 “diabetes” for 41 years and I had peripheral neuropathy for about 25 years and it was awful!! Super painful so I get it!! BUT-I no longer have it at all!!

I studied under Dr Richard Bernstein to learn how to control my sugars tightly and then I started to add minerals and cell salts and I also started doing a ton of nervous system work to straighten my spine and getting my body to function better!!

All of Dr Lando’s suggestions are great! I would love an aquacure machine!! $$$$

On the cheap side of things-you might want to watch come of dr Bernstein videos on YouTube under “diabetes university”

The cell salt chart can help you figure out which three are most important for you along w the ones above mention by Dr L. I get mine of the AV site or when the Highlands site has a sale

I add Celtic sea salt to my water every.single.day. I think with diabetes any time our blood sugars for slightly high we start to pee out all of our minerals. Which I believe is a huge cause of the complications.

Another cheap option to add is drinking your own urine for more minerals and stem cells!! At first it was gross but I’ve done it every day for over a year and I can tell a difference!

I used to be stuck in a chair and unable to walk also it’s hard!! But I’ve rebuilt myself quite a bit where I can do life well now I believe you can get there too!!

If you wanna try something to just begin to build your nervous system this week, try to really focus on breathing with your tongue on the roof of your mouth and breathe only through your nose-once you get that down and do it for a few days (notice where your breath goes…upper back, hamstrings, etc try to breathe and expand diaphragm side to side, not front to back try to breathe in four counts, hold for four and then out for four and then pause for four-see how that feels!! That’s the beginning step to possibly rebuilding the strength to walk or move better

When you do that for a few days, if you want another step, just ask and I can tell you what to try next

I’m glad you asked Dr L this!!

You also might benefit from looking into German New Medicine for the cause of diabetic neuropathy. In a quick search this is what I found.

Here’s a website that’s emplains it a bit and I’ll also post a link to Dr Melissa Sell who does a great simple job of explaining why conditions-including diabetes show up.

Thanks again @barre for your wise words, I knew you’d come at it from a totally different, extended angle. I’m here to pick up on my studies from where I left it a while ago so this is fantastic. I really wish that you’d written The Great Big Book of Barre but as you haven’t I’m picking up snippets here, there and everywhere from your videos. A year ago your reply may have been a foreign language but I’m now pretty much at least aware of everything that you’ve just mentioned so it’s exciting.<div>
</div>

And @amber.lansford thanks for being so open and revealing so much of your path so far. Like I said, I feel slightly embarrassed that I’ve kind of done this to myself, especially as my role used to be to help people get well, but I was a work machine and what happened in my life forced me into a survival mode. These suggestions are inspirational seeing as you’ve used them yourself. I think I follow Melissa Sell on Telegram already and the GNM idea has just made me stop and think for a minute; I think I’m angry at my legs, it’s been so long and I feel that they’ve stopped me fulfilling all my life potential and I’m bursting with potential. It’s not very helpful being angry at your own body. I’m mind blowingly frustrated and could never understand why they didn’t just get better. But there’s so much more to it than nutrition and herbal medicine so maybe the door’s opening again. A huge thankyou!

[Amber]

You are welcome!! I think shame is very easy to carry and feel as a “diabetic”. It’s tough-tough to manage and no one can do it perfectly. And at times, it’s too much to care about because it’s so overwhelming. Any time I feel shame now-I counter it with -I am so proud of you Amber for surviving- every single time I feel shame. And it’s often, but I have to change that story and hold my head up high and keep moving forward.
