Gary,
In addition to what others have told you: The nerve pain and even diabetes can be symptomatic of a dysfunctional LIVER. The liver is responsible for breaking down poisons into less toxic and eventually chemically neutral compounds that the body then excretes. The liver does this in four phases. In any of those phases, if the proper nutrients are not supplied, the toxins get stuck in the body and in some cases can even be more poisonous than what was originally ingested or inhaled. I would (among other things) focus on liver support. Milk Thistle (silymarin) and Dandelion are two excellent detoxifiers and help the liver do its job. Once the burden on the liver is lessened, it can do its sugar handling job better. Yes, the liver is also responsible for carbohydrate metabolism. Sometimes with diabetes, the chief culprit is the liver as much as it is the pancreas. Nerve damage and hence, nerve pain, can mean that the myelin sheath-the fatty insulation over the nerve cell "wires"-is partially or completely stripped. Good fats are important. Coconut oil feeds the liver and is germicidal. I would also take krill oil. Cheap canned salmon is also a good choice, as long as it's wild caught. Trader Joe's grocery store sells canned salmon at a reasonable price. If you are on a medical plan with insurance benefits, you might be eligible to be reimbursed for purchasing a Biomodulator. I got a Biomodulator to help me with lower back pain-sometimes I wouldn't even be able to walk upright, I'd hurt so bad (this is after a car accident)-and the Biomodulator was a life saver. It's so small, I can wear it around my waist and use it with patch electrodes so I could do activity with my hands free. I sometimes wear the Biomodulator at the gym and do exercises. Unlike a TENS unit, the Biomodulator actually RESTORES cell function (and hence, eliminates pain) rather than numbing the C-fibers of the nerve cells which merely masks symptoms but does nothing to restore body function. Feel free to email me privately and I will have the company send you a packet of literature. I developed diabetes when in my 20s but cured myself of it in six years. Diabetes isn't necessarily a permanent condition. Once you have a functional understanding of how the body parts interact with each other, you have a much easier time healing yourself of a collection of symptoms to which doctors give medical names. I empathize with your suffering. But there IS hope.
