I'm to the point when I go to sleep at night I don't want to wake up because my neuropathy has gotten so irritating and miserable and I'm only 50 and not diabetic or overweight and my physicals always come back good...I'm coming to the end of my rope...I pray for everyone who suffers from this to find help and healing.

The cure for most people is eating a whole food or low carb/keto/carnivore diet. I recommend to people when they pick up something to eat ask yourselves a few questions. 1) Is this a whole food? 2) Is it going to nourish me? 3) Am I just emotionally eating?

This is an honest, knowledgeable doctor who has spent time to give us a treasure trove of information.

A very rare opportunity for us to observe a true healer in his natural habitat. I thank you for your honesty, time and knowledge sir.

Dear DR Tollestrup I listened to you speak about peripheral neuropathy . Im a 57 year old male and iv suffered with this for a long time . I have been treated like a addict to the point we're I flushed my meds down the toilet . I did this for four months . The never decreased one bit . Infact it got worse an worse and any type of life I had before stopped . I could no longer go outside or to my local coffee house . I had one leg totally stop working an my balance became so bad I'd just fall over . My hands shook so bad that I dropped things I was holding an the shaking was so bad I threw cups,glasses an silverware .I finally had to take the pain meds or it was going to get the better of me . I no longer take any meds for breakthrough pain an I suffer greatly because of this for several years . I know it's to late for me . As I seem to be getting worse . It means a lot to me to hear that there are Dr that are not writing people off such as myself at a young enough age to get help and mabe there life back . I just wanted to say thank you Sir !! When I heard I broke down an cried . That was something i haven't allowed myself to do except when im having a especially painful day or night . Once again thank you SIR from the very bottom of my heart !!!!!!!!!

Thank you for putting yourself out there like this where ppl like me can find you. I will be emailing you very soon. Thanks!

Thank you for having this very informative to the public in your thorough explanation in the field of your expertise.

My doc just blew me off saying I had fibromyalgia. Then i found out that I have arthritis throughout my body. Our medical system in Canada is completely broken. I saw a second doc for the periphery neuropahy who prescibed me gabapentin. Couldn’t handle the side effects. After seeing a functional doctor, I was put on EPA/ HPA, Benfotamine, SPM, Vit D & K2 and beef liver capsules. I also take a joint supplement & curumin for the arthritis. I still have bad days, mostly when the barometric pressure bounces up & down. Generally I m doing much better. My functional doctor told me that many people are suffering from peripheral neuropathy due to the poisons in the air being sprayed on us daily from geoengineering aka as chemtrails. I believe her as the skies are being plastered daily where i live. Prayers for all who are suffering from peripheral neuropathy & hope that you find positive solutions to help you. ❤️🤞🏼❤️🇨🇦❤️

This is more information than what we have been told by the 4 different doctors my step son has been to in the last couple of months. He is only 23 years old, has Type 1 DM, and is suffering from Neuropathy. We have absolutely no treatment plan for him and he has no relief from this pain. It is such an agonizing experience. We are going to continue to fight for him and educate ourselves. Thank you Dr.Tollestrup for sharing your knowledge with us. We might take an out of state trip to Nevada to see if he can finally get some relief.

I live in Michigan and am a 76-year-old woman. I have one of the best medical insurance plans here in our state, but I doubt it would be good in Nevada. I have heard that at my age the chance of getting better is not possible. I have had sharp pains in my left leg for a couple of years...numbness in my feet..no diabetes, no high blood pressure...I have been checked for blood clots...there were none. My blood circulation was checked and it is normal...so many I will learn to live with it at my age....I have found your video very interesting. Our son works at a huge hospital in Reno, Nevada, as a registered nurse with an additional degree in infectious disease...you are very easy to listen to...thank you for helping people.😊

Oh I forgot to thank Dr.Tollestrup U ARE just brilliant to explain the problem. So pleased!

Thank you for this video. This has answered alot of questions for me..I have listen to you several times now..I certainly need your help. My pain started many years ago. It has grown from my toes to hands too..my balance is affected now. Thank you .

Incredible description and translation. Thank you.

Finally, some direct information. Keep up your writing and research. We all appreciate some news … good info.

What a great doctor. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this condition.

Excellent explanations. Clear and concise. Thank you.

I appreciate” the listen to your patient for a bit” , there is so much assuming when your getting in you 60’s and a cubby person. I don’t have diabetes,my cholesterol is low. I had a brain bleed In basal ganglia , which stopped so I survived. I am left with right sided paralyze that leaves me pretty limited. Movement. My heart is functioning well. So I may live to an old age pretty well otherwise. Old nurse so I know that listening is important and there is only so much can be done. This was very clear explanation and I like the good sense approach.

Thanks for sharing, very helpful info . Excellent lectures/presentations. 💐🌸🌺

Thank you 😊 for your kindness ❤️ a breath of fresh air. ❤️

Just scrolled down and came across your presentation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Don, I fell in Sept., hurt my hip and now myrightfoot is always cold, tingly, asleep,pins and needles. My toes are crooked up , it hurts. Foot pains all the time. Thank you for trying to help. You are a very kind and understanding Dr.

I suffer from severe peripheral neuropathy. You even took the time to email and explained everything to me perfectly. I’m on Medicare and you don’t except it. I’m saving my pennies but I will be there for you to save my life

Thank you Dr. Tollestrup for explaining the PN problem so well!

Excellent presentation. Most informative. Thank you

You are the first doc that explained this perfectly.thank you

Thank you doctor. That was the most illuminating explanation I have ever heard about PN. And I had no idea that some PN could be treated with surgery, but it makes perfect sense once you explained it. I've had PN in both feet for about 20 years. My holistic doctor diagnosed it based upon "walking on cardboard". My MD actually used acupuncture for about 5 years, and I had almost total relief for the first 3 years, and subsequent acupuncture did slow or halt the advance. I just wanted to say that you are a gem among doctors: caring, conservative and brilliant.

Thank you Dr. Tollestrup for letting us understand a little more about this complicated matter. You are right some neurologists are not well prepared in regards to this ailment.

You are the first Doc that has explained this clearly. Thank you!

Thank you for such a detailed and vast description of this ailment and what can happen to address it.

Very Informative ~Thank you!

WOW !!! I've wasted almost 2 years at the VA trying to find out why I'm having all these problems, 90 % of what I just heard, is new to me from a doctor !

VERY helpful to me. Thankyou for patiently explaining.

I just found your post. I will listen to your information. I am desperate . My neuropathy is in both hands and both feet and both calves, Thank you.

I have been searching for YEARS for an explanation. I have seen numerous doctors and nobody had an answer or a treatment. For years it's been an indescribable pain, sort of like having my feet literally on fire. Recently it's gotten more intense and there are the pins and needles as well. I now do not have any insurance, so I am just living with it as best I can. I wish I had found your channel 2 years ago, when I had insurance! Anyway, thanks for making this video and I can at least know what to call it.

Now I know what to ask my doctor and will have a better understanding of what the options may be Thanks Doctor.

You are very informative never had a doctor explain anything to me just shove medicine that don’t work never found a good doctor thanks for being helpful

Dr Tollestrup is a Genius

Great job!! Thank you!!

So thankful for your very informative video! I’m currently undergoing right foot issues diagnosed as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, tibialis tendonitis. Not to mention having had a nerve conduction test 4-5 years ago that was very unpleasant. I have had so many wishy-washy diagnosis and dead end very expensive tests and treatments that I’d literally have 30k more in my bank account. My podiatrist just recently tried putting me on a low dose of lyrica and even at 50mg taken in the evening for only 4 nights I am already getting negative side effects and called to tell him I’m not taking this anymore. I’ve been prescribed SSRIs before and have had horrible effects and told him that but he assured me that lyrica was different. Nope. Exactly the same or close enough that I don’t want it in my system.

Thank you. Watching from MD

Absolutely outstanding video. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything in an easy to understand yet detailed way. I'm am so impressed and will be in good hands with you no doubt. Can't wait for my opportunity to meet you soon.

I’m so glad I found you. Can it be torn? I’m at a loss and I can’t take this pain any longer. I’m waiting on a call back from your office in Nevada. Thank you for giving me hope!

Loved the video it was explained plain and simple

I have idiopathic peripheral neuropathy in my feet that is slowly moving upward. Mostly I have pain like walking on tacks, restless leg syndrome in my right foot, the feeling of wearing compression hose that are too tight, total numbness and a stabbing burning pain like when your foot is asleep and it’s just starting to wake up. I saw a neurologist and had the electric test done which was painful in the areas where I am not numb. The prescription drugs did not work at all. What does work almost immediately is a topical salve with CBD and THC massaged into my feet by Mary Jane’s Medicinals. Thank you for the video and explaining in detail more information than I have been able to glean elsewhere.

Thank you. My symptoms are not painful but still very unpleasant, numbness and a feeling like there is cast encircling my feet and lower legs. They just don’t feel anything like they used to. To express it differently my lower extremities feel trapped. Don’t have diabetes so I guess what I have is Idiopathic neuropharmacologist. I am doing exercises to improve my balance, and they help some, don’t want to use drugs.

Excellent presentation, Dr. Tollestrup!!

neil. 87..thank you from south Africa. however thr approach as.. electrical cable damage in the wall would explain to non Tec viewers like my self the nerve distribution and interruption .. many may have stopped watching as you commenced very Tec based and they faded. when the roll ball section was explained i immediately forums a ball and rolled it whilst watching. action stations over those who faded earlier. we are privileged to meet you on line and receive advice that our local gp does not give in the 15 minutes he has.... nxt patient please. well done... thanks you tube.

Hi Dr Tollestrup, I have to say not sure if I am a candidate, but u have described me in so much of ur video.. that I feel u know me lol .. u have said so much truth about the industry and what they run uthroigh to tell u that there is no hope… good luck.. take care of that sugar. Not saying u shouldn’t take care of ur sugar but u have given hope to many for at least a new Avenue to cross and consider in our journey with neuropathy thank you 😊🙏🏼🙏🏼

My doctor was unsuccessful treating my neuropathy. It felt like sunburned road rash. I finally tried with OTCs. It took a while, but with B12 (later, B-complex), turmeric/curcumin, D3, Mg, and CBD, it is quite significantly better.

I'm going to contact your office. Glad I came across this.

Thank you for sharing this is information I have never heard about any possible cure. Thank you.

I liked this video so much that I stayed up til 4 a.m. watching it. I was 99.5% sure that this guy was who I needed to see up until 1:29:00 thru 1:29:20, that's when he said the words that put me at 100% sure! LOL.... Excellent advice. I hope this doctor is still practicing cuz I need his help.

Hi Dr. TIM. Great video. Please stay safe and healthy and take care of yourself and your family members. To all members also. Talk to you later my friend. ☺☺☺😇😇😇

Vitamin E , Omega fatty acids like EPA , DHA. Turmeric helps omega fatty acid absorption. Lysolecithin also helps. Vitamin D helps magnesium absorption. Nerve flossing excercises. Vitamin K increases sulfatides in brain for myelination. Choline.

THANKYOU FOR EXSPLAINING IN DETAILE FOR ME

Thank You!

Thank you your information has been very helpful and your explanations of everything is very helpful and well orated.

very informative and professional. At some point I have carpal tunnel syndrome while working in compounding pharmacy (busy hands problem combined with reaction to various meds). I stopped it by eliminating citrus fruits from my food choice. Now I assume that Ph has it's word in the situation. I also switched to old style soap. You show what and how to pull all factors together so patient can analyze lifestyle and better describe it to those who involved in decision making. I still remember EMG test as pointless torture. You return us to reality. Thank you so much, Mr. Tollestrup.

Absolutely fantastic this as been the most informative video I have seen, my Neurologist has ever explained it in such detail all he has ever said is you have Peripheral Neuropathy and there is no cure just take pain killers .

Thank you for this most informative video. ❤

Very informative and interesting. I wish I could see you and get your take on my ongoing issues with PN. Been through many of the treatments you discussed. Thank you for your post!

Greetings Dr. Tim, I was diagnosed with moderate PN one year ago. Numbness in my feet started 4 years ago. My primary thought no big deal. After 3 more yrs he finally referred me, as walking was getting more difficult thus the diagnosis. My condition is the same. Stiffness , soreness and heavy feet and legs. After walking 10 minutes have to take a break. Have a new neurologist I see next month and will ask about the test you mentioned. It’s the first time I ve ever heard of a possible cure. Thank for an excellent presentation.

Thank you so much 💓

Very informative, thank you.

Thank you so much I've learned alot I had surgery years ago I'm doing so much better lol🥰

The PN that started in my big toe is now completely gone after 9 months of lchf OMAD. Brought my A1c down from 10.2 to 5.1. my vision is significantly improved, my skin has cleared up, lost 57 lbs and my labs are excellent for first time in 20 yrs. Mostly eat meat, high fat (butter/olive oil only) and a few veggies. (Broccoli, aspary, brussel sprouts, occasional salad,)

That's a good explanation for some understanding of what I'm suffering of. Really need ur help please.

Diagnosed with PN over 25 years ago! Have muscle weakness in my left leg.No pain thank God! Went to PN doctor years ago. At that time didn't seem to have much hope for cure! Was prescribed years ago also with Amlodipine for blood pressure.still on it! Looking forward to watching the rest of your video!

Thank you so much for this presentation. 5 months ago I was sitting with my leg tucked under me and when I got up, my left leg was entirely numb. Feeling eventually returned in my thigh but have PN from my left knee down, my right foot and ankle AND my groin. Sitting has been almost intolerable (due to strange, odd, pressure-like sensations & sunburn type feeling) and I only sit when I have to drive. Saw a neurologist who obviously didn't know much about this and referred me to a neuromuscular specialist who I won't be able to see for another couple of months. You have given me hope that this may be a compressed nerve somewhere high up and that I may be a candidate for surgery. (They did a lumbar MRI and it's not in the spine.)

Great video!! thanks for sharing.

You are such a genuine nice person...thank you for all the information... I have diabetic neuropathy...I put a ice bag on..takes the swelling down, then the pain...not fun...balance problems..ehhhh.

Thanks doc.

It really helped me..

I need to see you! I’m suffering from something - it’s just sever pain in several areas on one side of my lower body. I need to see you because YOU really sound like you KNOW what’s going on & you sound like You actually CARE! 🙏🏻 yes my quality of life is all but gone- almost to my much to bare to walk. Wake in pain: pain wakes me up. You are very knowledgeable. Seem like a GREAT DR.

thank you!

Thank You

I’ve had peripheral neuropathy since 2013 after a mastectomy. Had I.V. Chemo first as there was a tumor like growth the wanted to reduce in size before operating. Then, a partial mastectomy follow by radiology. Legs,,feet have been numb,,numbness wrapped around the back through the rib cage. Feet felt like there was a thick board on each foot. Legs made It difficult to walk as the only feeling was that they were there and had to be taught to re walk, but only severe soreness around the arm of the side of the operation. Not really direct pain. That got better , some relieved, so I could again do driving self to appointments and gardening, moderate housework. Somewhere in late 2019, I began to go backward. Numbness and lameness returning and vertigo with walking imbalances. Then in 2020, I became aware that the formerly numb side was beginning to…’wake’, and I could feel the actual flesh of the arm on the side of the operation. I didn’t notice that my other side was being affected but I could no longer reach down to trim my own toenails on that opposite side. Then I noticed the toes on that opposite side foot had turned under,,claw like. And a toenail fungus had so taken over the nails that I could hardly trim. Pain I’d had in the hip on that side,,switched to a pain in the side of the operation. Have a lot of trouble trying to get socks and shoes on that side now. I am going backwards. Had sessions of Epley maneuvers given until the vertigo stopped. Found online, exercises to relieve the vagus nerve and those muscles surrounding the vagus nerve. Now,,today,,finally, 2 years later, I was assigned a PT because of the vertigo and I managed to get through to them that this neuropathy had taken over but was having the greatest relief from the vagus nerve and muscles ..and eye exercises..that had almost stopped all vertigo and was feeling really as if I’d gone past that paralysis and vertigo…until I started doing gardening. Anything I do,,is body doesn’t seem to adjust and get stronger without muscle pain and vertigo,,it keeps coming back. Thank God,,this PT has finally considered its not all my ears but other..things causing this return to neuropathy, some vertigo,, muscle soreness,,stiff necks,,with great pain there, etc. and has assigned special exercise maneuvers for the affected areas. But..I don’t know what’s going on or has gone on that I understand the going backwards,,back into the neuropathy and muscle pain. Do you,,or Doctor,,have any idea what is happening..? I’m sure I’m not the only person in the world to have had this happen to them too but the doctors I have seem to just skip over any discussions about it. Is the last 2/3 of your teaching the answer? All these years,,the space for the Original nerves have become crowded for the small space left to it by the swelling from the cancer therapy..?? Even after 7-1/2 years..?? Frankly,,that seems to be a lot of answers to the questions I’ve asked.

Thank you for this video, I have learned so much , the neurologist that I went to, the only words he say was "you have diabetic neuropathy " after that he kept quite and I asked him like 5 questions and that was it, never he tried to explain what you should do, or what you might feel, or any other information. I felt so overwhelmed and confused.

ALA resolved my PN. NO surgery. I did take a support medication of gabapentin which also resolved my hot flashes

You are awesome ! I'm 62 . I have been to two heart doctors they say look into nerve problems. When I sit down the back of my thy burns both legs. When I stand up it takes a while for motor function. Burning goes away after 19 min or so..im lossing muscle function in my legs.

Spot on. Great presentation.

I suffer from chronic back and neck pain now it has crept to my feet. Please advise what to do. I want to be able to manage it. I am tired of taking pain killers that don't work. Thanks for putting yourself out here.

Thank you

Thanks very much myfriend....

There is no pain so severe that surgery can’t make it worse.

I use Theraworxs magnesium foam . after my spinal surgery it took the p ain away within seconds. I do have ms and left me with neuropathy in the right leg and foot . It’s been a real relief and I feel so sad when I know others hurt so much . I used spikenard as a topical and Rosemary internally These also have helped . Also the biggest is prayer 🙏.

ty!

I have exactly what your talking about I have aches that I can't explain from my ankles up to my calves and sometime my wrists and I often have burning feet.

Thank you very much for this really great video! So, as always, tradicional Western medicine can only focus on symptoms right?

Hello, thank you for your explanation, my cousin developed the same symptoms in both sides, he is type2 diabetes, and diagnosed with polyneuropathy, his condition got worse and now he cannot even move by himself. His arms are now getting impacted by this condition. Any lead on his condition? Thank you

Thank you for this really enlightening explanation. I would like to know if PN caused by chemical toxicity years ago (15-20) ago causes any type of swelling that would cause impingement of nerves ?

God Bless you. Thank you!

MGUS can cause peripheral neuropathy. Feet and up to the sock line numbness top and bottom of feet. Little bit in finger tip, pins and needles and not much pain.

WOWZER I have been watching you for hours and your intelligence blows me away. I learned so much about what I diagnosed as peripheral nerve damage.. I have only had all the 3different kinds of symptoms for 3 months and I really thought I could fix it myself with exercises and vitamins. Thank you for being so smart 😊 I'm curious as to where you practice? I could google you,but that seems stalkish 😆So I will continue watching you and learning.

Very helpful explanation. Are there any studies that look at possible correlations between PN and diet?

Thank you very informative. I have crps severe right side. I could listen for another hour.

Wonderful video! Thank you so very much! I had Guillain-Barré syndrome in 2016. I have tingling in my arms and some in my shins. Is there anything that can help me with these terrible symptoms? Thank you for any help!!! Mike

Years ago using gerbatin failed. Since then have lost weigjt, still condition creeped up legs to knees , then hands up to lower arms more recently

Wow my dad has been bed ridden for about 6 months and it just hit him after he fell. He has a weak knee and was 2 weeks away from having surgery on it when he fell and then he started losing feeling and tingling. He is being pumped with drugs and the rehab/nursing home just now finally got him an appointment with a neurologist. He don’t have a lot of money and lives off of his s.s so I fear now if he is a candidate they won’t want to do the surgery because he only has Medicaid and little income. Does anyone think he would be a candidate? All we can do is pray but this sure has given some hope at least. Thank you for this video

Just want to say you know your craft well. And gives me great hope as i got a lumbar impact to lower back 5 months ago. Got a normal MRI everything came back ok but since lumbar impact im left with extreme burning pain and discomfort at L1 L2 and L3 and feel i have compressed / cut peripheral nerves. What is your view on 1) Peripheral nerve entrapment surgery repair ? or RF Abolition technique. I am left in limbo land where GP is just prescribing nerve pain meds which i cannot tolerate and feel it is only putting a band-aid on the injured peripheral nerves. We have a huge waiting list here in (N) Ireland to see a Neurologist for diagnostic tests/exams like years to see a Neuro never mind get an operation. If i win the lotto ill be coming straight to Las Vegas as you are a genius of your profession i have to say. thank you for doing these podcasts as certain GPs just say your stuck with peripheral nerve pain and take Lycria or Duloxitine which are horrific and not treating a compressed nerve.
