Feet numbness - Only when I've had them up or after getting out of bed.?

HI InGenue Babe

Here is the best remedy/cure you can use. It's called hydrotherapy. Using hot and cold water to generate blood circulation where the body needs it most. THis process has been used for thousands of years and proved to be one of the most productive. Hot water brings blood to the surface and cold water surpresses it downward, in turn generating new blood cells into the diseased part of the body. Ideally, you also want to use pressure (like strong showerheads) to penetrate the body's depths for quicker results. Also intaking cayenne pepper is the internal king circulator. Moves blood like no other.



I would start by getting a bucket of hot water (hot as you can take it) and an ice filled bucket of water. Just go back and forth with each bucket about a minute each. Do this 10 times or so. Do this 2-3 times a day for as long as it takes to heal.
You could use the shower for this method with the hot and ice cold water. A lot more beneficial.

Here is more information about Hydrotherapy and some testimonials for curing big diseases.

How you can use hydrotherapy at home to SPEED - UP any cure.

The best and cheapest thing any human can do to cure their disease is use water therapy.

You need to do two basic things :

1) Apply hot and cold water, as hot as possible and as cold as you can get it, to a diseased area.

2) Take hot and cold showers, or a hot shower, then jump in a bathtub of ice-cold water, or water with 20 - 40 pounds of ice in it.

The purpose of these two techniques is not torture. It is to BLAST blood into sick areas that are not getting enough blood. Until you do that, expect to stay sick.

There was one man who tired the programs for skin cancer, and they did not work. But he omitted one thing: the hot and cold showers. As soon as he did them, his skin cancer went away.

Simple Rules : For those who are frail, use common sense and start slowly. For instance, on babies, use warm water and cool water. Obviously, be gentle.

To get the most results, work yourself up to using as hot as you can stand it - without burning your skin - and as cold as you can stand it. When I do it at home, I don’t just use cold water. I found it works much better with bags of ice.

You do this at least twice a day. Once is a hot and cold shower, perhaps three of them if you are real sick. You do seven repetitions of hot and cold. If your shower doesn’t get real cold, use ice cubes in a bathtub. If you don’t have a bathtub, perhaps rub yourself with a wet, icy towel. Do your best.

Then, always use hot and cold directly on the sick or injured area - not just all over. This is essential.

For the cayenne oil, here is a simple formula.

A Formula for a cayenne heating oil.

Here is a formula anyone can make.

In a glass jar with a tight leakproof lid, place...

5 tablespoons of the HOTTEST cayenne powder you can find (over 250,000 heat units is suggested.) 20 ounces of Jojoba, Olive or Almond oil.

Make it on the New Moon and let it sit until the Full Moon, making sure to shake it every day. On the Full Moon, press or strain off the liquid.

Caution, this can be extremely hot. Start with a little and work your way up in amount.

Common mistakes made by readers who try hydrotherapy.

Due to timidity, readers under use this treatment. They don’t do it often enough, and they don’t do it strong enough. They don’t like to shiver, or they find it uncomfortable. Forget that. To me, continued sickness is more uncomfortable.

For example, when you are really ill, people should do hot and cold showers as much as 30 minutes a day, three times a day, 2 minutes cold and 5 minutes hot.

For people less ill, try 15 minutes once a day, 7 repetitions each of hot and cold.

Use your imagination. One reader saved his wife from a colon operation by using extremely hot and cold wet towels, back and forth, over her intestinal area.

For people with heart problems.

You can put really hot water, in the shower, or with hot towels, right on the chest, and then alternate with ice cold water or ice, and then go back and forth for seven times.

Start mild, depending on the person’s strength and vitality. Do not overshock them when they are weak. Use good judgement in everything. You can add hydrotherapy to the herbal compresses for serious heart disorders.

Hydrotherapy cured GANGRENE.

Several months ago, a man in the South had gangrene developing. He is an older man, a diabetic. His doctor said if it wasn’t better in days, his right foot was coming off.

He took 6-8 teaspoons a day of extra-extra hot cayenne pepper, in divided doses day and night. He took them in a cold beverage, or it is too hot to get down. The powder form of cayenne is what he used, never capsules. Forget capsules.

Then, he filled two large buckets, one with hot water and one with ice water. He did this and went back and forth. Then he applied a cayenne heating oil to the sick area when he was done. His leg healed, all signs of gangrene are gone.

What he could have done, if he needed to, was to add herbs to the treatment. Here is what can be done, for those who need to know.

Fill a large tub with hot water, add 4 ounces of cayenne pepper powder, 4 ounces of Ginger root powder, and 4 ounces of mustard seed powder. Put these herbs in a dish towel, tie it closed, and put it in the bath like a big tea bag. You will see the water turn orange.

Then, fill a large bucket with cold water plus 10 pounds or more of ice in it. Plastic garbage bins and wash baskets work well for this. Put the leg, or whatever, into the very hot bath for 5 to 10 minutes and then immediately into the cold for at least 2 minutes, but 5 to 8 minutes is much better. Do at least 5 repetitions of this.

A Final word

One of the things that helps out a lot of you reading these old documents and realizing that even if you go to the extreme, you won’t be reaching what was done a hundred years ago.

As far out as it appears you are not even approaching the intensity of what the old healers knew they had to do.

These old people had no choice. It didn’t seem to extreme because, to them, it was much more extreme to die. So nothing they did seemed extreme.

Again, it is more powerful than herbs - because it is the therapy that gets the herbs through the blood to the sick area.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

Well the tingling in the feet is a sign of diabetes. If you're pre diabetic you are probably experiencing some of the symptoms. Lack of circulation starts in your extremeties. Hence, the fact that you feel the numbness in your feet. Getting up and walking around helps provoke circulations, which is why it goes away while you walk.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

This could be related to elevated blood glucose. You are pre-diabetic, you might even be a full blown diabetic. Ask your doctor to do an HbA1c test to see what your average blood glucose is. It might be higher than he thinks, you might need better treatment.

I had this symptom at night when I went to bed until I was diagnosed and started insulin and got my blood glucose under control.

Uncontrolled blood sugar can cause nerve damage, and pins and needles feelings are one of the signs of it.

High blood sugar can also cause swelling which can contribute to this sensation.

Walking around will improve your circulation, reduce edema and probably reduce your blood sugar slightly, at least until you eat something, so that might explain why it gets better temporarily.

If you have a blood glucose testing meter, check your blood sugar more frequently and see where its at in the morning, and one hour after lunch, two hours after supper and just before bed. Do this for about a week. Let your doctor know what your readings are.

It does sound like your diabetes is getting worse and it might be time to step up the treatment. Please talk to your doctor about your symptoms.

Answer 4

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/kGslS
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

Answer 5

It also sounds like poor circulation, you can purchase a pair of diabetic socks that help promate your circulation, and help that feeling your haveing lesson, if you can't find any, (which really should'nt be a problem) you can try looking in your local pharmacy, they always have them, you can just wear a pair of really tight socks, not so tight that it cuts of circulation though, and when you sleep, try and keep them elevated slightley, but not too much as no circulation will get through at all.

Answer 6

You need to contact your doctor because something is not right. It sounds like you are not pre-diabetic but in fact a diabetic. They need to run some more intense diabetic testing. People with diabetes can loose their feet over this. My husband is a diabetic, they diagnoised him as a pre-diabetic just a few months before we found out he wasn't pre but in fact diabetic with his sugar testing over 600. When my husband was in the hospital I saw a man at a department store one evening going to see my husband. The guy was in the check-out line in front of me and was wearing a foot cast device. And when asked what happened he said it was where he has diabetes and he had symptoms like your describing and had to have an operation. He almost lost his foot from it, so please get this checked out ASAP. Good luck, best wishes.

Answer 10

Diabetes can cause nerve damage and numb limbs can happen when blood sugar is high, The best is to control the sugar intake to help avoid nerve problems, They will improve and the reason they get better as you move around is that your body is using up the sugars as energy
