What can you do for neuropathy in your feet that the creams never did? Dr. Lewis’s natural remedy is a short routine done at home.
The menthol. The massager. The compression socks somebody bought you. The soak that works until you dry your feet.
None of them are frauds. All of them work on skin. That is the whole reason they wear off — they are working on the outside of something that is happening underneath it.
Most home remedies for neuropathy stop exactly there.
There are three or four of them that almost everyone with this diagnosis ends up on. You know which ones. They are in your cabinet right now.
They can take the edge off, and for some people they do. Nobody here is telling you to stop taking what you were given — he says that more than once, and so do we.
But here is what he says they were built to do: quiet the signal. Not reach what is producing it. And the trade is not nothing. Many people on them describe feeling drowsy and foggy — slower to find a word, or to remember why they walked into a room.
Dr. Lewis is plain about where he is coming from. For 27 years he worked inside the system that prescribes them, and he explains what they were and were not designed to do.
According to Dr. Lewis, a corrosive enzyme collects around the nerve and hardens into a coating. He calls it sticky plaque. It wears down the protective layer and leaves the nerve bare — an electrical wire stripped, in his words — and it happens at the far ends first, which is why the feet go before the hands.
So the only question left is which remedy reaches the coating.
Three ingredients, most kitchens have them, done in a short routine. Dr. Lewis did not invent it. He built it on the work of a researcher he credits in the presentation.
What he spends the time on is what people get wrong: the order, the proportion, and the hour of the day. He is blunt that improvising it at home is why most people get nothing out of it, and he performs the sequence instead of describing it.
He also explains why many people notice it more once the nights turn cold: a nerve that has lost its coating does not handle cold the way an intact one does.
They describe something smaller and more specific: that it stopped climbing, and that they slept.
“She says she started sleeping through the night again, and later walked a full mile holding her granddaughter’s hand.”— about a 73-year-old patient, in the presentation
Seven years on the same prescription before that.
You can, but Dr. Lewis explains that the ingredients alone are only part of it. The three things are ordinary; the order, the proportion and the hour are what make it work. He performs it on camera rather than listing it.
No. Dr. Lewis repeats more than once that you keep your appointments and keep taking what you were prescribed. His argument is about what the prescription was never built to reach. He draws that line in the first ten minutes.
He works from the feet, because the coating forms at the far ends of the nerve first. People with both usually start there anyway. He shows where he applies it and why.
Dr. Lewis makes no promise about how far along it is, and neither do we. He does say that a nerve which has already lost its coating behaves differently. That part comes early.
Because an exposed nerve does not take cold the way an intact one does, and the cold weeks are when he hears from the most people. He gives the reason and what to do about it.
No. No form, no email, no charge to watch it. It plays as soon as the page opens.
Long enough that you want to be sitting down. The time goes on the mechanism and the order; the routine itself is at the end. If you only have a minute now, come back when you have the hour.
