onebeed: I've mentioned this many times here, but a friend who is living with "ideopathic" neuropathy for about 15, 30 yrs of taking statins....is off all drugs and doing so much better on grape seed extract which she is now taking over 5 yrs. I'm taking it 20+ yrs...it's good prevention/protection, a powerful antioxidant and can help so much. Also reduces diabetic issues...my friend says she is not diabetic, but a doc told her borderline and she ignores it.

My original reason for getting on Pycnogenol and then grape seed ex a year later, we were told it MAY prevent cancer(s)....music to my ears 20 yrs ago. Today cancer research hospitals are using these OPC's in cancer research.

I am so aware of sugars/carbs and don't want sugar issues.

Only disclaimer if one takes a pharma blood thinner, then can't take grape seed ex. One or the other.

My good friend, long story, has gone thru an afib issue and now on pharma blood thinner, but she's working to get off/reduce the 6-7 heart drugs she left hospital with. She's adding grape seed extract back into her system. I believe a lot of her issues are that she didn't take magnesium. She's very alternative but slacked on some minerals and now takes 3 heart alternative supplements including more magnesium.

We need to do a lot of research and work for ourselves...I ended up with nerve damage from hip replacement and no more burn/tingle since I've taken a couple supplements I've talked about here. I did not go to nerve docs etc with this damage, I researched and talked to people who deal with this damage too...and still have major numbness, but no burn. Take care.
