Hello Denise.
I am not a doctor and I do not treat, diagnose or prescribe. Having said that,
here is what occurred to me when I read your post:
There is an intricate relationship between the thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, and
sex organs. When one is off balance, the others try to compensate for the
weakness or excess of the dysfunctional gland. Furthermore, other glands and
organs are also affected. It's like hitting the front domino and then all the
rest in the pile fall down.
It's important to think *systemically* rather than in terms of individual
symptoms -- because if you think only in terms of individual symptoms, you won't
get the big picture or perceive any cause-and-effect relationship. Most medical
names describe the symptoms rather than explain *why* the symptoms have
occurred. So, for example, the condition called "neuropathy" simply indicates
that there is a problem with the nervous system. It doesn't indicate why this
problem exists. And of course then there is no clue as to how to fix the
problem.
Thre are many reasons for a gland or organ shutting down or not working
properly. Microbes such as flukes have been found in the pancreas, for instance;
and this upsets the insulin regulating mechanism of the body. Colloidal silver
disables microbes and does a wonderful job doing it. This is the microbial
approach to ill health. Some people -- with everything from cancer to Lyme
disease to the flu -- drink as much as several quarts of colloidal silver daily.
Properly made colloidal silver is not only highly effective, it is completely
safe.
The ability of glands and organs to function is highly dependent on being free
of microbes. However, functionality also depends on the correct feedback loop of
hormones and other biochemicals that get sent through the nervous system as
messages. If these glands and organs are impaired, the person will experience
various symptoms such as feelings of coldness, numbness in legs, etc.
I have been to a doctor only once in the last 25 years. Allopathically (Western
medicine) trained doctors generally don't understand how the body works as an
integrated unit. They are taught to manage pathology, *after* the system has
broken down. If it were me, I'd find a homeopath, naturopath, and/or
chiropractor who understands the relationship between different body parts.
Nutrition is key to being well. Different people have an affinity for different
diets. However, what I can say as a former diabetic myself is that it's real
important to avoid refined carbohydrates like the plague, to go easy on complex
carbs, and to eat plenty of vegetables, good fats (virgin coconut and olive),
and moderate amounts of animal protein. Just about everything I eat is organic.
Ridding the body of contaminants is another key to being well. Twentieth century
doctor and researcher Alexis Carrel kept tissue from a chicken heart alive for
28 years simply by changing daily the mineral bath the tissue was immersed in.
The tissue died when Carrel discontinued changing the water. This clearly shows
that when the waste products of cellular metabolism are removed from our cells,
the cells can continue to regenerate. Translated into practical terms, we need
to get rid of the waste materials in our systems that prevent the proper
function of the body.
In my two books (excerpts of which are on my website; see below), I discuss in
depth what nourishes us, and how critical it is to detoxify. Both aspects are
vital in maintaining or restoring health.
People who are used to being patients in the allopathic medical model are
understandably nervous about switching to holistically trained professionals.
They have been taught to view allopathic medicine as the only correct medicine,
the only right view. Western trained doctors can be great for emergencies and
for surgery, but these services constitute only a small portion of what healing
is all about. I encourage you to see other professionals and learn what your
options can be.
Regards,
Nenah

> Not sure if I've ever introduced myself....I'm Denise, from Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan Canada and I have been lurking for some months here, trying to
learn all I can about CS - and WOW! I have learned lots!
>
> I'm needing to pick your collective brains, please......I apologize for this
being a tad lengthy but I am hoping that someone might possibly be able to
provide a light at the end of the tunnel for me!
>
> A bit of 'background' info....I have a number of auto-immune disorders - type
II diabetes (since resolved following biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch
in April 04), chronic obstructive sleep apnea (resolved as a result of BPD/DS
surgery and a subsequent loss of 65#s to date), Graves Disease (dx Jan 1998) and
I have been on eltroxin since Aug 1998.
>
> I suffered from cold feet (internal core cold NOT cold to touch) in 1998 after
the radioactive isotope drink to deal with my overactive thyroid; this symptom
went away when my thyroid counts were better under control. I have again been
living with 'core cold feet' since my BPD/DS surgery...I have seen a surgeon (my
primary caregiver wanted to rule out circulatory problems....), I have seen an
endocrinologist who advises me that he refuses to adjust my thyroid medication
until I have lost all the weight that I can post-surgery. I have seen a
hypnotist in an attempt to learn how to control my internal body thermometer
myself....I refuse to return to this psychiatrist/hypnotist as he was most
insistent that I attend 'group therapy sessions' (3 days/week for 2 hours each
time - which would actually be 3 hours each time when you factor in travel time
to and from work).
>
> Okay - enough 'background'...
>
> I saw my neurologist today (21 Jan 05) about the 'cold feet' that I have been
experiencing since April 04.
>
> After a thorough neurological exam (?), Dr. V gave me a diagnosis of diabetic
neuropathy.....! Duh - I was a diabetic for 10 years, the last 4 quite severe
so this was not a surprise diagnosis to me! He dictated his report while I was
sitting in the exam room and I am going to be contacting my family physician
next week to get a copy of this report as there were some 'interesting' words
that I heard him use....
>
> I asked him if this 'neuropathy' that I had is also known as 'peripheral'
neuropathy....Dr. V said that it was a form of peripheral neuropathy....again -
not a surprise to me.
>
> There are a couple of drugs that we discussed as maybe being of
assistance....Topomax (topamax) and Gabapentin...I have a prescription for
gabapentin...
>
> I came home and did a google search for gabapentin and topomax....and I'm not
sure I'm willing to start taking either drug.
>
> Not sure what to do/which direction to go from here....I have kinda hit the
end of the road as far as looking for answers....I always figured that the
neurologist would be sort of the last step in this journey and well - now that I
am here - I'm not sure I like it!
>
> I have read with great interest about CS working on a myriad of medical
problems...I am wondering if it (CS) might be able to help me deal with the
problems I am experiencing....
>
> I apologize again for the length of my 'story' - but I am almost ready to have
my feet amputated to get rid of the 'cold'....and I know that something as
drastic as amputation wouldn't be the answer either....'cause then there'd be
the'phantom pain!' to deal with.
