Today, a quick secret about stopping carpel tunnel. You may very well be able to avoid the knife.
Very dear, old friends just visited, and at one point they mentioned Bruce’s carpel tunnel problem. He was told he needed surgery, but I asked him to try something first instead for a month or two before going the invasive surgical route.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can be diagnosed when it is characterized by numbness and tingling in your thumb, index, middle and just the side of your ring finger by the middle finger. Additionally, it’s worse at night, it tends to radiate towards the elbow and shoulder and can present with elbow and shoulder pain. And then activities of daily living—like holding a steering wheel or cutting your food, fine motor skills—seem to make it worse. (source) The typical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is a splint, steroids, or surgery.
Dr. JM Ellis pioneered the finding that Vitamin B6 helps patients prevent surgery, and he has been studying B6 (pyridoxine) for carpel tunnel since the mid 70s. Many doctors either don’t know about it, have downplayed it, or would rather treat it with surgery because that is what they do.
In this study, Dr. JM Ellis states, “In my practice, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) therapy (100 to 200 mg daily for 12 weeks) has proved curative for a large percentage of patients having carpal tunnel syndrome.
In another study, participants “showed a great improvement in their status, and anticipated surgery for some of the patients became unnecessary. It is concluded that patients with a severe syndrome including the carpal tunnel defect have a deficiency of vitamin B6, and that both the syndrome and the deficiency are relieved by therapy with pyridoxine.”
I will let Dr. Berg, an excellent teacher and retired chiropractor, explain Vit B6—and see the dosages below.
2 minutes.
1. Vitamin B6 for Carpel Tunnel
Dr. Berg suggests taking 100mg pyridoxal 5’-phosphate capsule (a special form of B6) 2 times a day.
If you’re deficient in zinc, taking vitamin B6 will not work. Make sure you take zinc as well—about 50mg/day. Here is a synthetic-free whole food zinc.
If you’re on a high carb diet (breads, pasta, cereal), that could be why you’re deficient in zinc. Stress also depletes zinc.
Vitamin B6 may work because it acts as an analgesic. It raises your pain threshold, so you don’t feel the pain as much or at all.
This nutritional yeast flakes may be an alternative and helpful for pain. It is very high in the full range of B vitamins, and is a great way to get all the Bs as a whole food. It is not wise to take one of the B vits alone for very long without the full range to keep things in balance. Dr. Berg does sell a nutritional yeast tablet (7 per day), but it contains unnecessary, and frankly unhealthy, synthetic additives.
2. An acupressure technique can be done in addition to taking vitamin B6
Dr. Berg also gives a demonstration of a specific massage you can do to really help to neutralize the pain signals. With this unique technique, you’re actually going to want to work on the opposite arm than the one that’s causing you pain. Watch a 2 minute demonstration to really see how it’s done.
Remember, if you have carpel tunnel on one side only, you work on the muscles of the opposite wrist. If you have carpel tunnel on both sides, you work on one side at a time, and work first on the side where the pain started first.
3. Homeopathy for Carpel Tunnel
When faced with a conventional diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in her practice, Joette Calabrese, HMC, PHom M says she often turns to Symphytum officinale 200 mixed with Ruta graveolens 30, twice daily, until very much better, with much success.
Symphytum is specific for bone conditions. Ruta is indicated for sprains, bone bruises and any complaint involving cartilage, tendons or bone surfaces.
She would add Hypericum perforatum 200, as needed, for acute nerve pain. Consider Hypericum for pain from inflammation, incisions, lacerations and wounds — particularly those that involve nerve-rich areas.
