Because Microorganisms play a crucial role in causing and
prolonging your pain
Without any further ado, Here's...

"Microorganisms - Questions You Have... Answers You Need!"
QUESTION: What role do microorganisms play in trigeminal neuralgia?

ANSWER: We are now beginning to appreciate the role microorganisms play in trigeminal neuralgia and it is quite significant.
QUESTION: How do the microorganisms affect the nerves?
ANSWER: We know that in some people, microorganisms are involved in the beginning of the problem, but often they act to maintain a chronic state of low grade inflammation, thus prolonging the problem and the pain. More significantly, because of their acidic nature the microorganisms play a role in destroying the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is composed of fatty tissue that must be nourished and replenished to protect the nerves.
QUESTION: Which microorganism seems to be most predominant?
ANSWER: The herpes virus is the main culprit, although there many others.
QUESTION: What adverse effect do yeast, fungi and mold have on the body?
ANSWER: In addition to aggravating the basic problem and prolonging the agony, they rapidly deplete the body's supplies of B-Vitamins, iron and other minerals.
QUESTION: What have you found to be effective so far in addressing the microorganism issue?
ANSWER: Micro electric current therapy using the ONDAMED has been most effective in addressing the microorganism issue.

Well it s true but not in all cases. You can get T.N. after having chicken pox ..shingles they are both forms of herpies and are known to be the cause of some peoples T.N. .

I would NOT say it is the cause for all t.n. and more often there are other reason for the cause of T.N. A.T.N. A.D. etc...

My thoughts on Micro electric current therapy I am not sure what that is but I know first hand that eletrical stimulation is very helpful.. I have a neuro stim implanted which I think is NOT the same as Micro electric current therapy but may be along the same lines . I will have to "scooby doo" it and see what reasearch pulls up for me.
Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for responding. I just wonder if everyone that had chicken pox as a child or herpes and didn't know it...lays doramant in the body and if something happens (i.e. pregnancy), could this bring on TN and ATN. How can you even find out if you carry the herpes virus if you've never had any type of outbreak other than chicken pox. If in fact there is a way to see if you carry the virus without ever having any visible signs. Are there herbal medicines to take and/or medications such as anti-viral to help with TN or ATN pain? I think I read that somewhere. This is just another theory to investigate. Is there a blood test for this?
