StudentTingling and numbness began in his toes & feet, spread up his legs to his buttocks, then up his torso. He also had it travel from his fingers up his arms. He stated that because his feet and legs went completely numb, they felt like they weighed 200 lbs and it wore him out just to walk across the yard. It made him very unstable on his feet and caused him to fall. When it first began we used herbs to stimulate blood circulation. After a few days we quickly realized that this was a neurological issue, so we switched gears and began a regimen of lemon balm & St John’s Wort (SJW) tinctures along with turmeric & ashwaghanda. He did go to see a doctor and try to find out the root cause. They did all sorts of bloodwork and an MRI. Everything came back “normal”. The doctors had no answers, nor solutions for him. Within 3 days of starting the tinctures, he noticed some changes. But it took a total of 6 weeks for the polyneuropathy to recede completely and for him to feel back to normal. The interesting thing is that it receded in reverse of how it came on.

Studentthanks for this info. My dad (62) has had a strange, progressive, neurological disorder for about a decade. He’s seen countless doctors and even a big specialist in San Francisco… nobody can figure out what’s wrong with him. He’s been tested for everything, including Parkinson’s. I may have him try this regimen that you posted and see if there’s any change. His right hand frequently spasms and drops things or right arm goes numb. He has trouble walking as his right leg’s mobility is also affected. It’s like he can’t properly move his foot, it just does whatever it feels like doing. Now his speech is starting to slur. They say there’s no signs of a stroke (with imaging) and that strokes aren’t progressive, but it just keeps getting worse.
