In the last year, a tremendous number of clients age 45-85 have come in with neuropathy symptoms: nerve damage causing pain, numbness, tingling, and/or weakness. Many experience a tingling sensation in their feet and toes, and have found minimal relief despite consulting doctors. Causes range from the side effects of chemotherapy to infection to unknown sources.
In March, a client reached out with alarming news. As a 50 year-old man in excellent health, he was shocked to find his body debilitated and non-functional. In just a few days, he went from highly active to unable to walk.
Tingling pins and needles from the knees and elbows down
Numbness
Double vision
Orbital headaches
Dizziness
Fatigue
Doctors stated that the myelin sheaths on his nerves were degenerating due to a recent infection. After nearly a week in the hospital, he was released with no treatment protocol other than rest. They expected basic functions to return in 8 weeks and a full recovery in 6 months.
He was in a state of shock and despair. 'Waiting" to feel better went against his nature.

Secrets of Aboriginal Healing: A Transformational Journey with a Remote Australian Tribe by Gary Holz
Gary was at the pinnacle of his life: an award-winning physicist, successful businessman, and marathon swimmer. He enjoyed tremendous success in athletic and academic pursuits.
At the age of 33, Gary began experiencing numbness in his legs and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Gary followed doctor’s orders and used the recommended medications in ever-increasing doses, until the disease could no longer be kept at bay. He disintegrated into a chronic state of MS quickly, becoming a quadriplegic in 5 years and on the verge of multi-organ failure within 10 years of diagnosis. Doctors were out of options for him and gave Gary two years to live. Hopelessness and despair took over.
