Dear Raine,
>From your brief statement I am led to believe you are presenting with
peripheral neuralgia...which is a pretty name for a condition which is
expressing as a nerve insult (caused, usually, by one of two
presentations----diabetic complications and/or non-diabetic physical
injuries, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and sometimes, toxin loads in the
system.
We conducted some rather detailed investigations circa 1998-99 and were
somewhat successful in gaining quite useful results. One indication
that the insult is diabetic (or at least from cardiovascular origin) is
there "usually" presents some degree of swelling in the feet and/or
ankles....especially near the day's end. The actual swelling in these
cases is, almost entirely, based upon leakage of fluids into the
surrounding tissue, due to insufficient scavenging (getting the fluids
back to the heart----from the venous side). Even if the person is
suffering from improper glucose management, a marked degree of control
is possible.....via compression stockings. This protocol is safe,
useful and economical. It is based upon the fact that increasing the
compression load on the tissue beds surrounding the veins reduces the
enlargements allowed by the leaking valves (causes the swelling) and
aids the valves proper to completely close and thus prevent the
"pooling effect". We have effected surprising results from this simple
protocol---many times.
One successful methodology is as follows: (1) Obtain some quality
compression hose (below the knee length, if there is no swelling at or
above the knee joint). If the swelling that occurs is minor, select a
15--20 mmHg (that is the pressure rating) compression strength. If
there is significant swelling of the toes, feet and ankles, select 20--
30 mmHg in Surgical Weight. Wear the hose during the day and take them
off at night. I believe you will be surprised how effective this simple
protocol is.
Do note that many of the Name-Brand suppliers of support stockings have
quite high prices. We evaluated about four of the name brands and found
little difference in their quality--or prices. In fact, we were able to
locate a generic-type supplier whose products proved to be the equal of
a majority of the name brands. The company name is Ames Walker and they
are located in New Jersey...I believe. This is not a plug for them, but
we saved many hundreds of dollars with their products... A Google
search will give you their website....if you are interested.
If one is presenting with pronounced swelling of the feet and ankles
(and especially if it does not ALL reduce by each morning).....the
situation requires IMMEDIATE intervention by professional medical
agencies.
One thing to remember is that one of the worst things a person with
compromised extremity circulation can do is to STAND IDLY for extended
periods of time during the day. The reason being that as there is no
powerful pumping source on the venous side of the cardiovascular system
(unlike the arterial, high pressure side); without the muscle
stimulation of walking, venous stasis (poor circulation) occurs,
together with its ever-present swelling of the interstitial tissues
adjacent to the veins. If the "challenged" person has a desk job, one
of the best things they can do...during the day....is to prop their
feet up on the desk or a chair {ideally where the feet are at the same
level as the heart}....for a few minutes----every chance they get. It
will help---ENORMOUSLY! This little trick really helps to scavenge the
deoxygenated blood on the venous side.
If the primary insult is from causes other that diabetic, then long-
term correction is...probably....not achievable without additional
support protocols. Our most successful protocols for aiding/correcting
actual nerve insults....involved members of the B vitamin family. I do
not at present have sufficient time or finger-strength for continued
typing, to go into detail. I will attempt to elaborate some on this
tomorrow. Meantime I offer this: Subliminal B-12 proved to be the
linchpin in our successful protocols. That is not to say the B-1 and
some of the others were not required.....but B-12 was the real strength
for our effective addresses.
There are two special types of B-12 which proved to be almost an order
of magnitude in superiority....to the common type most readily offered
by the commercial market. I will post a description of these substances
and the simple mode of administration....in our experimental
researches, tomorrow.
I must go now.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

Yes, from time to time I do have burning feet. It's not all the time,
and I can't tell when it's going to happen. Usually for sure if I'm on
my feet for any length of time. Sometimes, no reason. My legs also
throb. And I cannot be on my legs for any length of time, anymore. One
hour and I'm painfully aware of my legs. it sucks. All of this since
Lyme. for the past 18 months.
