One amazing things that I’ve discovered while working with Dr. David Phillips is that in many types of peripheral sensory neuropathy cases, regardless of the cause, the common link appears to be Hypoxia.

Hypoxia is a word used to describe loss of oxygen. This is a condition where in whole body or part of the body is deprived of an adequate amount of oxygen. It often occurs at what are called neuronal junctions (synapses),  an area in the human body where nerve cells communicate with each other.

The neuronal junction is where nerve impulses pass through. This is a form of electrochemical communication of nerve cells. Theoretically, if a patient is suffering from neuropathy because of hypoxia, the neuronal gap between cells widens and this widening is theoretically considered to be responsible for the common symptoms experience by the patients such as the burning sensation, tingling and shooting pain.

According to Dr. Phillips, “Neuropathy and chronic pain is characterized by pain, numbness, loss of tactile feedback, and poor tissue perfusion. These may be an indication that oxygen is not reaching all the cells and thus causing dysfunction.” In his work, he says that 90% of neuropathy and chronic pain is a result of the impaired transmission of nerve signals between nerve cells due to not enough oxygen which is needed to support nerve cell metabolism.

So it appears that hypoxia may be a factor in neuropathy and chronic pain. The shrinking of the synaptic junctions due to the demineralization of the synaptic fluid that causes the gap between nerve cells to widen may be another factor. The widening of the gap between cells makes is hard for normal signals to propagate.

The causes of Hypoxia may be due to many situations that patients experience throughout their lives. As you read further Dr. Phillips work, you’ll learn that among the reasons behind the loss of oxygen could be due to trauma, chemotherapy, diabetes or mechanical such as compression on a peripheral nerve. This compression can happen in the median nerve found at the wrist (carpal tunnel), in the sciatic nerves such as that at the hip and lower back, (sciatica) as well as in the ulnar nerve at the elbow (cubital tunnel).

Anyone who suffers from these condition often times feels devastated. Because the pain greatly affects their quality of living, patients often try to use pain medication to reduce the pain and discomfort. Unfortunately, pain medications do not cure the condition. They mask it. Eventually, some drugs can lead to a more serious complications with side effects such as mental confusion or intestinal problems.

The good news is, advancements have been made in the treatment of neuropathy.

Patients can now undergo better treatments, rather than just settling with reducing the pain and discomfort that they have.

There are combined methods of treatment that are now used to help patients.  Our clinicians find these approaches are holding the most promise.

Chemotherapy Neuropathy Patient Improves 85% in just 5 weeks! Our last patient around 7PM in the clinic was a wonderful chemotherapy patient (actively treating) who was referred to us just 6 weeks ago.  Her oncology team encouraged her to begin a peripheral neuropathy care program with us.

She initially had miserable, disabling neuropathy symptoms in her hands and feet. She had been unable to sleep, had difficulty walking, and sensation changes on her exam. After 5 weeks of following our EXACT protocol, she reported to us a cumulative an overall level of improvement of 85%.

Needless to say, my chiropractic and therapy team was so happy we could hardly contain our excitement!

Our average for this type of peripheral sensory neuropathy  is 50%, and rarely less than 20% in compliant patients.

This case study is but one in a series that demonstrates the incredible healing potential of this system, even in devastating illnesses.

It’s another great day in Boston as we are getting ready for
our docs and therapists who will be joining us at
SuperConference 2010, guests will start arriving soon.

How can we REALLY help our patients?

I hope you are having a great day too!

In any event, my assistant Jes and I were recapping the weeks events
after talking to many new docs and therapists.

We had a unique conversation late in the day yesterday.

If you are reading this, you already know at least a little about NeuropathyDR(TM).

And we’ve taken lots of calls from those of you who met us during our summer
travels, and are finding ND on-line, in the bookstores and journals.

What you may NOT know is how many prospective patients contact us EVERY day
literally 24/7 by phone, email and Facebook.

But most of you who contact us really do your homework,
and often know way more about neurologic treatment options than you might think.

But, what they say to us is “I need HELP! I need someone who really
knows to treat me like Dr Hayes does in the book.”

Now, it makes no difference if you are a PT, DC or MD. Learn to really
help our patients get what they want, (their life back)
feel the staffs gratitude that you REALLY helped somebodies mom or dad
get back on their feet…

Isn’t that why you got into private practice after all?

John

One of the biggest things we see in our work with Neuropathy and other chronically ill Patients is that once the burning, tingling numbness and pain start to subside, they are gradually able to resume more activity. In some patients, this can be an incredible challenge after years of illness, stress, and sometimes the other side effects of treatment for diabetes, chemotherapy for cancers, surgery, etc.

But, There is good news! By applying specific timed steps, many patients do far better than they ever imagined.

Finally, a Neuropathy Treatment System that works!

Here’s 3 simple tips to make it go easier.

Start easy! We always teach our patients the importance of pacing, doing less than you think you actually can.
Take extra special care of rest needs. Its’ OK, and even advisable to rest during the day, even if you don’t nap.
Watch what you put into your head! Shut off the TV, grab a good book instead, or simply meditate in a comfortable spot. Focus on health generating thoughts and mind pictures.

Finally, enlist the help of your coaches, doctors and friends along your journey back to health. ASK for help and guidance.

CALL US if you need help. Really, we talk to patients all day long!

Neuropathy Treatment Systems Include Good Manual Therapy

I had the good fortune of seeing several really great diabetic patients in our clinic today. The first had completed her 5 weeks of initial NeuropathyDR(TM) care a month ago, and still her diabetic neuropathy continues to improve, BUT not only that, her blood sugar levels are continuing to drop, and exercise tolerance is increasing. After years of total misery and worsening.

The second gentleman, a new patient started on Monday, has been miserable for 5 years, and after just the third session, is already sleeping better, even his foot mobility has improved. He has had such bad foot cramps and burning foot pain that can not even sleep without socks.

Finally, real encouragement. Real Results. Doctors and Physical Therapists who really take the time to care for the entire patient.

If you or a loved one are suffering, these cases are showing steady, real progress in beating neuropathy!

I want to personally thank and welcome all new NeuropathyDR Providers. Thanks to your diligent study, excellent peripheral neuropathy care is being rendered to all our wonderful patients around the USA.

We are growing every week now around the USA, Australia and soon to be South Korea! If you are interested in joining our ranks, I’ll be speaking in Myrtle Beach, SC on Friday, and Boston on August 21st, and New Jersey Sept 11th and 12th.

There is increasingly good news for those suffering chemotherapy related peripheral neuropathy.

We have had great success treating these cases for almost 2 years, and as Dr. Phillips has reported, Cancer Treatment Centers of America has had a 94% success rate in treating chemotherapy patients using ReBuilder Medical Protocol.

NeuropathyDR(TM) has brought some enhancements of this original usage to our clinics, by treating hands and feet simultaneously, and adding oral and topical nutrients too.

We report today on a 56 Y.O. lady undergoing chemotherapy for metastatic lung cancer having restoration of some sensation as well as markedly improved sleep, and a substantial decrease in her most bothersome symptoms (tingling, burning, pain) after just her third session.

Please contact us directly, or have your medical professionals do so at 781-754-0599 24/7.

Happy Neuropathy Doctor equals Happy Patients and Families
