Natural Cures for Carpal Tunnel

6000 mg?? Vitamin B 2 or 6 is toxic above 100 mg.

Carpal tunnel pain has its origin in low vitamin D.

If you don't get enough sun hours you will be low on Vitamin D and that causes carpal tunnel pain and could also increase the risk of breast cancer. Dr. Raimund von Helden in Germany has done for years intensive research on low levels of vitamin D and the side effects.

Germany doesn't have many sun hours therefore the body cannot produce enough vitamin d by sun shine. Dr. von Helden has written many books about the connection of breast cancer, carpal tunnel syndrome and low levels of vitamin d.

I myself have suffered from carpal tunnel pain. The remedy: take 10,000 units Vitamin d together with 1 tablet of vitamin K2 MK 7. I use these 2 supplements once a day as long as needed. The pain goes away almost immediately. However, when you have pain, then you are way low on Vitamin D and you need to fill up your bodily reservoirs. Constant low level of vitamin D can lead also to breast cancer. Dr. Von Helden has done a lot of research. When you are low on Vitamin D you need to get up your levels. When my wrists are hurting, I take vitamin D in higher amounts for a couple weeks daily to bring up my level. In the winter I need to take much more than in the summer. Your doctor can find out your vitamin D level with a blood test. You can fill up your vitamin D level in a few days or weeks depending how much you take.

I personally recommend not to exceed 10,000 IU per day. I have taken higher dosages but it doesn't bring more benefits. Don't forget to take one vitamin K2 MK 7.

You might try applying just the mag oil to the back of your neck down to between your shoulder blades. That may be additive the the effect of the lower application you are already doing.

I read somewhere that this 103 year old man was asked "What is the secret to your longevity?" He replied, "Sleep on your back."

Many years ago, I worked as a sign language interpreter and had to change careers due to the pain in my wrists. I also sleep on my side with my hands under the pillow. I noticed that when I put my hands under the pillow I tend to curve my fingers into fists and fold my wrists down... I found if I keep my wrists straight I don't get pain and any pain I have suffered diminishes, so there is definitely something to be said about one's sleeping position.

It's been a week since my L wrist has started to hurt and last night I noticed my sleeping position. At this time I am trying the castor oil and taking B6 with L-lysine, since it's all I have at hand presently. We shall see what results...

Zapper with Orgone—I've battled with carpal tunnel with years and had the nerve tests done and was severe on right from "computer syndrome" and fairly severe on left side due to a horse accident and shoulder/nerve damage from above. I had used it all, creams, ointments, pills, chiropractors, homeopathic remedies, even narcotics I take for my shoulder when it is acute, did not help this pain. Finally I realized the cure had been in my house for quite a while and one morning when I could not sleep and was in tears I wondered "Maybe my zapper would work" and put it on top my hand and secured it with my elastic tennis band so both copper electrodes were on it. Bingo! Within 5 minutes from acute pain to slight tingling. I can even type when it hurts bad as long as the zapper has a strong battery (like I am now) and move my fingers well enough and pain free, I "googled" the brand zapper I had and added "carpal tunnel" and sure enough, it came up as one of the things it could cure. Now maybe if I would stay off the computer it would be cured, , , nah, , will use it to keep it under control tho'!! My mom called me to tell me she had to run my father to the Dr. The other day and it turned out he had carpal tunnel and he got the standard "not much we can do, take some Tylenol and Motrin" and I ordered one for him and sent it so looking fwd to see how he makes out because they think everything I do is "voodoo" but he's desperate for relief so I'm hoping it works for him as well as me. He is 82 and a very unhappy camper in this pain, otherwise he would not even listen to my ideas lol! Hope this post helps someone, , it worked for me but I know not everything works for everyone, , , by the way I do not sell or know anyone that sells zappers aside from retail websites which I have to use to buy myself. Good Luck all you wrist sufferers!! I know your pain!!

Hello, Many years ago I found Vit B-6 worked for carpel tunnel. Two friends tried it and they now have no problems. Although both were only early in their symptoms. Suggested it to a couple of others (including one family member) and they decided not to take B-6 on advice from their respective Drs and guess what? they all ended up under the surgeons knife. It has been researched many times through the years (and from memory as early as the 1960s). Eg: Portland Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation Center in Oregon, They found that higher levels of vitamin B6 were associated with fewer carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. A Japanese study of 174 university students found that students with lower levels of vitamin B6 showed symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. 1994 - John Ellis, M. D. , of Mt. Pleasant, Texas has a 90% success rate. He says it takes about 90 days.

Always take a complete B with the extra B-6. The common amount of B-6 used was either 50mg 3x a day with a meal or 100mg 2x a day with morning and evening meals. Whilst this may not work for everyone it is very economical to try. All the best.

I recently purchased a Tempur-Pedic Neck pillow in my last effort to try to help aliviate the pain I was suffering from with Carpal Tunnel. The first two nights I tried it, I never woke up with pain and numbness in my hands, by the third night, I removed the hand brace and I never woke up to shake out the numbness because there was no numbness. I have suffered for ten years with this pain and all I needed was a good pillow specially designed to support my neck.It's worth every penny of the $99.99 I had to pay. I got this pillow at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

I suffered from CP years ago, I went to a Chiropractor that did cold laser. Haven't had a problem since. Can't say that about others who've had the surgery or cortisone injections.

I have used Borax going on about a year and a half or so. About 4 months ago I discovered Lugol's Iodine and have found that to take the place of some of the healing I thought Borax would solve.

I was having severe carpal tunnel/arm pain after 5 min on my computer. I started on Lugol's Iodine 5% and selenium, magnesium, zinc and a B Vitamin complex. The arm pain completely disappeared after about 2 days and other systems in my body began to function properly as well. It is a much slower detox than with Borax so I am still detoxing if you can believe it.

I love iodine...total believer now but I am certainly glad I did the Borax detox first. Doing the two together would be rough. The iodine has caused strange zit like boils to show up all over my body randomly as well as pain at joint nodes. The protocol is to use sea salt and mega dose of vitamin C and this certainly helps. I usually take about 10,000mg of Vitamin C and a good pinch of sea salt and spring water when I have the detox symptoms. I make sure not to take the Vitamin C around the time I take my iodine as it negates the elemental iodine with Vitamin C. I take about 2 droppers full 2 times a day or roughly 650mg or so of Iodine.

There are multiple possible causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but I wanted to mention one that sometimes gets overlooked which is Lyme disease. This should be considered, particularly if the carpal tunnel is bilateral. If the carpal tunnel is from Lyme, it may respond to antibiotic therapy. Here's a sample reference from the medical literature: "We conclude that a significant proportion of patients with late Lyme borreliosis develop carpal tunnel syndrome." Carpal tunnel syndrome in Lyme borreliosis. Halperin JJ, Volkman DJ, Luft BJ, Dattwyler RJ. Muscle Nerve. 1989 May;12(5):397-400. PubMed PMID: 2725567. Http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2725567

Anyone have ideas / supplements to relieve carpel tunnel in hand? Have had pain for four months.

I think it's castor oil, not cod liver--often confused, since both are time-honored remedies, but work very differently.

The method used to cure Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by everyone I have talked to is simply to crack your back pushing from the head toward the feet. The pain and weakness is gone instantly. Most have their spouse do it because chiropractors are trained to only push from the feet toward the head so you have to argue with them. It takes months of proper exercises to get the bones to stay in place.

What brand do you use?

Thank you!

I am more than a little confused on how to do the exercise. Do I raise my arms with my hands flat and my fingers bent upwards? Or do I hold my arms out and bend my hands up with my fingers bent back as far as I can bend them. If I can get the right, I am going to do it. Also, I will use the castor oil. Thank You

I am so glad to read this. I too am a side sleeper and do have my hands under my head all the time. I am going to change my sleeping habits along with adding the cod live oil, and b vitamins as suggested above and see how it goes!

Thanks for the advice.

Could you keep us posted on your father's progress, it would be interesting to see if it works for him also. Thanks, Kay

yes. The castor oil helps. I've had ct pain for a couple of weeks from washing down the cupboards (pressure and rotation). I rubbed some in before bed last night and woke this morning with no pain. I can feel it would come back if I use my wrists heavily, but will keep them as immobile as possible and keep up with the castor oil. I've also started on b-complex and b6 with the hope that they will keep the condition from coming back. I had cts once before really bad from embroidering, and a touch when I kneaded bread every day, so I am sure it is repetitive twisting motion that brings it on. I used to get twinges when I used the mouse heavily, but have had no trouble since I started using the touchpad instead.

I notice you dont have and subject heading for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). is there another name for it. i have it bad and i'd appreciate any remedies for it. thanks,

Hi Claire,

Which brand of molasses did/do you use?

Thank you
