LOL, I figured you might say that. I think he sells some, but not all. Just keeps a few. I order all of them exept for the great probiotics that need to be kept cold.

I just want to make sure the best brands are what I use. I have several chronic llnesses and thankfully he is an integrative MD. Most reg. doctors have no idea what to do. They are not all one brand, each is looked into carefully.

Sally, you are really fortunate to have found that doctor(s) you have.

Most people just don't have access to the new integrative specialists that are now becoming more numerous. Consider yourself very very lucky and fortunate.

I am VERY blessed. You do have to look for them. There are sites that have lists though. Dr. Weil teaches MD's integrative medicine also. Not enough people look for them.

Just like my little dog. I had to find a holistic vet. Her vet can use meds and supplements and the blood testing is great. :) Dogs need to use fewer meds also!

That is great you have a good doctor. I have seen a lot of internist and then a holistic md who was just out for the $. So not to sound stupid but the integrative doctor is similar to a holistic or looks at the whole body/mind? Im going to look on that Dr Weil site I get his news letter by email. Though I dont follow his plans he does seem pretty knowledgable?

Dr Weil has a school for MD's to learn much more than they learn in med school. You can find that site and other sites that list integrative doctors. Integrative MD's use western med if needed but supplements and good testing also.

Ok, so this is my first winter with all my new "ailments" or neuropathy, since it all started for me in the spring this past March.

So one of my worse symptoms has been the burning, which has been so much better and more controlled with benfotiamine.

Just when I think I am learning to live with this new life, the seasons change and it is winter time.

I thought it would be better for my burning since my feet always felt better all summer when I kept them cold, in various ways.

NOT.

It is now cold, and well, I have a 4,000 sq foot home and I am the only one home during the day so I do not heat it just for me, so it stays chilly during the day. My feet have a new kind of hurting or burning.... it is almost like....freezer burn?? or..how your hands feel when you are out in freezing weather and when you come in and they thaw out they start to hurt???? They still feel like they are burning but it is a new kind of burn...and now they are not red and hot to touch but cold and the burning is inside like freezer burn.

Mind you, it is NOT winter in my house, lol I am not sitting in a freezer, but I am saying I keep a fleece jacket on and im good, without it, it is chilly.

Does anyone else know what I am talking????

Anyone else have symptoms change with the weather??

I am stumped at how to treat this new kind of burn...it is not the same as before. :(

Leg warms sound like the way to go and yes the season change and weather changes affects my neuropathy. I lived in a 3000 square ft home and had a couple space heaters between heated socks and space heaters you should be very cozy.
