Educate Yourself and Take Control of Your Health
Yes. I never knew how much cleaning my house made me feel tired and … well, I just didn’t want to do it. It was the chemicals that I used. Even when I bought brands in the health food store that were more natural then the many very toxic chemicals normally found on the shelves.
Here is an article on a Cleaning Product derived from a mix of essential oils (plant essense). I have used it myself and I enjoy using it. It not only cleans well, but it smells great.
How? One way is not to eat anything with toxins. Interesting idea isn’t it.
So one of the dubious foods that are toxic, or worse, we don’t know that interfering with food will do. I’m talking about GMOs. Genetically Modified Organisms, doesn’t sound very healthy to me.
Here is some links that will take you to:
GMO Companies (they don’t want you to know
GMO & Non GMO Labeling on Produce
And so you know why – what is GMO

There are a lot of remedies on the market that includes herbs. Of course, the first thing you should check is the quality of any supplement whether herb or vitamin. Cheaper brands are not necessarily going to give you quality ingredients that will give you results. Here is an article on this Buying Less Expensive Supplements – Is it Worth It?
But on the subject of herbs especially regarding neuropathy, one needs to know the following.
Herbs cannot be taken in some cases with certain medications. You need to check with your pharmacist to see if the herbs and your medications are compatible. Pharmacists have a database that they can check.
As an example: There are no clinical trials showing that any herb can help repair the nerve damage that is neuropathy. Nor can it build healthy nerves. They do have some value in increasing blood flow, or calming the body, but not in the actual repair of the nerve which is what causes the neuropathy symptoms.
There are many products being advertised as helping neuropathy with 4 or 5 different herbs extracts in them. It is questionable whether they have been tested together, and since there are no trials regarding neuropathy, questionable as to whether they will help or not.
A number of herbs taken together often causes stomach problems, such as heart burn. They can create more problems.
Check out all the herbs in a formula. Remember, this is not like a herb tea, made by boiling the herb leaves, or sprinkled in your salad. These are herb extracts in much more potent amounts then found in nature.
