If you’ve been
diagnosed with neuropathy as a result of[1]
• Diabetes
• Cancer
• Lupus
• Shingles
• Exposure to toxins
• Lyme Disease
• HIV/AIDS
• Repetitive stress injury
We don’t need to tell you how miserable the symptoms can be…
If you
• Take your medication…
• Take precautions to account for muscles weakness or loss of strength in your arms and legs…
• Do whatever your doctor tells you to do and your symptoms still aren’t improving.
In addition to the neuropathy caused by your illness, you could be suffering from nutritional neuropathy.
What Causes Nutritional Neuropathy?
One of the leading causes of nutritional neuropathy is vitamin deficiency, especially Vitamin B12. If you don’t eat meat, dairy products or even fish, you might not be getting the vitamins you would normally get from those foods.
If, in addition to your underlying illness, you also suffer from
• Anemia
• Gastritis
• Crohn’s disease
• Other chronic digestive problem
Your body is probably not getting the nutrition it needs from what you’re eating. That can lead to nutritional neuropathy.
Any condition you have that affects your body’s ability to absorb the nutrients and vitamins from your food can lead to nutritional neuropathy. And that just makes a bad situation worse if you already have some other type of neuropathy caused by one of the illnesses we just mentioned.
How Nutritional Neuropathy Affects Your Body
Even though the name implies that nutritional neuropathy is linked to your digestive system, it can affect much more than that.
Your body runs on what you feed it. If your body isn’t getting the nutrition it needs, the malnutrition begins to affect every system in your body. Eventually it affects the peripheral nervous system. The nerves are damaged and no longer function properly.
If your nutritional neuropathy affects your autonomic nervous system, it can lead to problems with blood pressure, an inability to control your bladder or bowels, or even sexual dysfunction.
If your nutritional neuropathy affects your sensory nerves, you can have problems with your sense of touch – not just possibly an inability to feel sensation but a heightened sense of sensation. Imagine the sheets on your bed feeling like sand paper against your skin.
If your nutritional neuropathy affects your motor nerves, you can lose the ability to control your muscles, you could lose your balance and the muscle cramps you experience from your neuropathy can be even worse.
Even if your neuropathy is being treated with physical therapy or even drug therapies, you still need a healthy diet to give your body what it needs to heal.
If you want to give yourself the best possible chance of avoiding nutritional neuropathy, you need the right diet.
Good Nutrition Can Be Your Secret Weapon
The very first thing you need to do is make sure you’re giving your body the right tools to fight back against nutritional neuropathy. That means a healthy diet and managing your digestive condition.
Talk to your doctor, preferably a NeuropathyDR® clinician, about all of your underlying medical conditions. Your diet will not only need to include the vitamins and minerals, but you also need to take into account any digestive problems you may be experiencing that will prevent your body from absorbing the good stuff you put into it.
A healthy diet should include[2]:
• Whole grains and legumes to provide B vitamins to promote nerve health. Whole grains promote the production of serotonin in the brain and will increase your feeling of well-being.
• Fish and eggs for additional vitamins B12 and B1.
• Green, leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, and other greens) for calcium and magnesium. Both of these nutrients are vital to healthy nerve endings and health nerve impulse transmission and, as an added bonus, they give your immune system a boost.
• Yellow and orange fruits and vegetables (such as squash, carrots, yellow and orange bell peppers, apricots, oranges, etc.) for vitamins A and C to help repair your skin and boost your immune system.
• Sunflower seeds (unsalted), avocados, broccoli, almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, peanuts (unsalted), tomatoes and tomato products, sweet potatoes and fish for vitamin E to promote skin health and ease the pain of nutritional neuropathy.
• Ask your neuropathy specialist for recommendations on a good multivitamin and mineral supplement to fill in any gaps in your nutrition plan.
Foods you should avoid:
• Coffee and other caffeinated drinks.
• Fried foods and all other fatty foods. Fatty foods suppress the immune system and that’s the last thing you need when you’re fighting nutritional neuropathy.
• Control the amount of animal protein you eat. High-protein foods elevate the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine which are both tied to high levels of anxiety and stress.
• Avoid drinking alcohol. Alcohol consumption limits the ability of the liver to remove toxins from the body and can make a bad situation worse.
Talk to your local NeuropathyDR™ treatment specialist for a personalized diet plan to help you to help your body to heal with the right nutritional support for nutritional neuropathy and your digestive issues.
We hope this gives you some tips to get started on the road to putting nutritional neuropathy behind you. Working with your medical team, including your local NeuropathyDR™ specialist, to design a nutrition plan tailored to your specific needs is a great place to start.

If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, no one has to tell you how devastating that diagnosis can be…
Your life literally changes overnight…
You’re faced with the reality of treatment and that usually means
∙ Surgery
∙ Chemotherapy
∙ Radiation
∙ Experimental treatments including possible hormone therapy
And all the side effects that come with each of those cancer treatment options.
If you’re a cancer or post chemotherapy patient and you suffer from
∙ Loss of appetite
∙ Nausea
∙ Post chemotherapy peripheral neuropathy, including nerve pain and/or balance and gait issues
∙ Dry mouth
You may be missing a very important piece of the cancer recovery puzzle…
Nutritional support for cancer treatment and recovery.
Trying to recover from cancer without giving your body what it needs to build itself back up is like trying to rebuild a house after a tornado without 2×4’s and nails.
If your body doesn’t have the essential materials it needs to heal, no medical treatment has any hope of succeeding.
Granted, food may not sound appealing right now. Talk to your medical team to put together a cancer recovery diet plan that will make food taste good and give you the nutrients you need to heal.
Here are some things to think about when designing a cancer recovery nutrition program:
Basic Cancer Nutrition Tips[1]
If you’ve undergone chemotherapy or you’re preparing to, you need to support your immune system. Your best option for doing that is a diet rich in whole foods that are easy on the digestive system. Make sure your cancer recovery diet includes foods that are high in anti-oxidants and protein. Your diet plan should include foods rich in vitamins, especially vitamins C, D and E and nutrients like soy isoflavones, amino acids, folic acid, l-glutamine, calcium and carotenoids. Drink as much water as possible and don’t worry about keeping your calorie count low. This is the time to take in all the calories you need.
Chemotherapy and radiation may affect your ability to digest foods so invest in a good food processor and/or juicer. Both of these tools will allow you to prepare foods that are easy to ingest and digest while still getting the nutrition you need.
Try These Foods To Rebuild Your Body[2]
It’s easy to say “eat foods that are high in vitamins” but you may not know exactly which foods you need. Here are some suggestions for foods to aid in your Nutritional support for cancer treatment and recovery and chemotherapy symptoms:
Vitamin C
∙ Red cabbage
∙ Kiwi fruit
∙ Oranges
∙ Red and Green Bell Peppers
∙ Potatoes
Vitamin D
∙ Salmon and tuna
Vitamin E
∙ Nuts, including almonds and peanuts
∙ Avocados
∙ Broccoli
Carotenoids
∙ Apricots
∙ Carrots
∙ Greens, especially collard greens and spinach
∙ Sweet potatoes
Soy Isoflavones
∙ Soybeans
∙ Tofu
∙ Soy milk – this could also be helpful if you need to go lactose-free
Folic Acid
∙ Asparagus
∙ Dried beans
∙ Beets
∙ Brussels sprouts
∙ Garbanzo beans
∙ Lentils
∙ Turkey
These are just a few examples. Talk to your local NeuropathyDR™ clinician for a specially prepared diet plan that incorporates all the foods you need to rebuild your immune system.
Use Herbs and Spices to Give Your Food More Flavor
Herbs and spices are a natural way to flavor your food without adding man-made chemicals. And many herbs have natural medicinal properties of their own. Try some of these to make your food taste better:
∙ Cinnamon
∙ Basil
∙ Coriander
∙ Cumin
∙ Ginger (natural anti-inflammatory properties, too)
∙ Garlic
∙ Mint (great for fighting nausea as well)
∙ Fennel
∙ Turmeric
We hope this gives you the basic knowledge you need to talk with your health care team, including your local NeuropathyDR treatment specialist about cancer recovery nutrition and your pre and post chemotherapy diet. Working with your medical team to design a cancer recovery diet plan that works for you will ensure that you’re not neglecting the missing piece of the cancer recovery puzzle – good nutrition.

Have you ever started the New Year with a healthy goal and then fallen flat of your face? Well guess what, so have millions…billions of others all around the world. In fact, we all want to have the best expectations of ourselves, but too often, stress and the work load of life get in our way.
Sometimes we think stress and such are preventing us from getting where we want to go. In fact, the blatant truth is, we are what gets in the way.
You might wonder what in the crap we mean saying that we are our own worst problem. The fact is, that can be a hard pill to swallow sometimes. But, the fact remains, that’s the truth.
In order to achieve, be the best we can be and accomplish our goals (whatever they may be), we have to take care of the front lines first. That means US!
Your ability to care for yourself, plan your path and stay the course is what determines whether you will achieve that New Year healthy goal.
So, what’s the best way to make sure you are caring for yourself correctly? That’s the first step. That is to say, without good self-care, the path and what you do with it don’t really matter.
Helping you take excellent care of the whole you is just one of the things that we excel at here at neuropathyDR.com. Furthermore, our team thrives on helping our readers and our patients to be the best they can be. Those who suffer with neuropathy and chronic pain sometimes strive just to make it through the day. So, how do we control pain and move to being our best?
Using healthy goal setting is the way to start. Here are just a few ideas that our patients have shown success with. Take a look at some of our recommendations and try one out for yourself. Fulfilling healthy goals will begin to help your pain.
The truth is, whether you suffer with:
You can improve that number one healthy goal and gain better control of your pain and symptoms.
Some of the best ways are to use a holistic approach to your own self-care. Furthermore, through practices such as nutritional health, relaxation measures and healthy, but appropriate exercises, you can meet those healthy goals for the New Year. You can accomplish whatever it is you are seeking.
