Hi all.

I don't want to raise any false hopes but a friend of mine called me today. He has suffered from Idiopathic PN for 7 years. His toes are so weak that he pulled a sheet over his toes once and broke one of them. His PN was so severe that you could not touch his toes or feet because of their sensitivity.

Well!!! he met up with a woman from Russia who got her medical degree in Russia when she was 17. She then came to America and it was too hard to get a medical degree here so she became an herboligist (or herbalist) and massage specialist. She gave my friend some kind of tea blend (to de-toxify his body) first. She told him. "I can't cure you but I can help you to heal yourself". She believes the immune system attacks the nervous system and that we have to SHOCK the systems back into alignment.

So some time ago he began to do a cold/hot therapy that she explained to him. And he explained it to me over the phone. Here is what he does every day , 2 x a day. (Start at 30 seconds the first time) And now he does 10 minutes twice a day.

He takes two containers (big enough to put your feet in). One container has ice cold water and the other container has hot water.

He alternates both feet in each container (starting at 30 seconds initially). He got such GREAT results that he carries buckets of ice up to the bathroom and he does an ICE BUCKET kind of water in one container and hot water in the other container. Now he's up to 10 minutes two times a day.

He said "whatever this is doing to me, I don't know but I am getting the feeling back in my feet and listen to me doing jumping jacks". And I could here him on the other end of the phone and he was doing jumping jacks. He also RAN today. He hasn't done anything like this in 7 years. His pain level was HORRIBLE.

He told me "I feel great". So maybe this SHOCK to the system kind of treatment works. Initially after drinking the tea, he really cleaned out his system so this doctor explained that we have to get the toxins out of our bodies first and then shock our bodies back into sync.


I just wanted to share his success with all of you. I told this to Alan and he said: "Listen, I have a stent, I'm not sticking my feet into any bucket of ice cold water unless I run this by my doctor first". I said'Good enough". So when he goes to his next appointment I'm asking his doctor and if he gives him the go ahead, I hope he tries this.

The russian lady said "I can't heal dead nerves but some nerves just have to be reanimated and that's what shocking them does" (or something to that effect).

And when I tell you that my friend who has had bad neuropathy for 7 years is now a NEW person, believe me. He was in such good spirits today HE DID JUMPING JACKS. Good Lord.

So if anyone has heard of this please advise.

Thanks much
