Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, is a condition that affects the peripheral nervous system, which consists of the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when there is damage or dysfunction to these peripheral nerves, leading to a variety of symptoms.

The peripheral nerves are responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body, including the muscles, organs, and sensory receptors. They play a crucial role in motor function, sensation, and autonomic functions (such as heart rate and digestion).

Neuropathy can affect a single nerve (mononeuropathy) or multiple nerves (polyneuropathy). It can also be categorized based on the specific types of nerves affected, such as sensory, motor, or autonomic nerves. The most common form of neuropathy is peripheral polyneuropathy, which involves damage to multiple peripheral nerves. Let's explore causes, symptoms, treatments, and the essential nutrients needed for helping defeat neuropathy.

For most people cholesterol has been considered the cardiovascular lab test to monitor to assess your risk of a cardiovascular event. However, increased cholesterol levels were found in less than 50% of all heart attack and stroke victims.

Researchers at the World Health Organization published a study which pointed to an overlooked risk factor that seemed to account for the other half.

Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) have been used in almost every conceivable human illness or malady, including many inflammatory diseases such as arthritis or psoriasis.

PEMF therapy has been associated with pain reduction, and accelerated healing. PEMFs exert these effects by regulating processes involving inflammation and autoimmune diseases, among other biologic actions.

What is PEMF

PEMF therapy, also known as Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, or Cellular Exercise, is a non-invasive form of therapy that uses electromagnetic fields to promote healing in the body. PEMF therapy has been shown to have several benefits for bone health. In this article, we will discuss the ways in which PEMF therapy can benefit bone health and improve bone density.

Promotes bone growth and regeneration

PEMF therapy has been shown to promote bone growth and regeneration by stimulating bone cells known as osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for the formation of new bone tissue. PEMF therapy has been shown to increase the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, which can lead to the formation of new bone tissue.

Introducing Dr. Evelin Valdez

My name is Dr. Evelin Valdez, and I am a AMNA (American Medical Naturopathic Association) board-certified Traditional Naturopathic Doctor.  I graduated from the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education in Mt Pleasant, Michigan, in December of 2022.  My training of over 2600 hours includes, among many modalities, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Nutrition, Healing with Foods, Muscle Response Testing, Western Herbalism, Light Healing Touch, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Color and Sound Therapy, Bodywork, Reflexology, Homeopathy, Iridology, Sclerology, Meridian and Chakra work, Feng Shui, Essential Oils, and Bach Flowers, Vaccines, and Environmental Toxins. My course work consisted of classroom training, directed studies for each classroom module, client consultations, hands on therapeutic work, and 4 research papers in the field of natural healing. I also carry liability insurance through the Alternative Balance Professional Group.

My Motivation to help people with their health

I have always been interested in how the body functions and why certain ailments affect some people but not others and how these states of dis-ease can be prevented and cured. I remember my mother and grandmother using home remedies like compresses, teas, and rest to get over health challenges. I have successfully used many of these home remedies for my own family throughout the years. For most of my adult life however, I have heard, seen, and experienced great dissatisfaction with how the medical system approaches and treats disease.  I wanted to understand more about the healing powers of nature and decided to pursue an education in Natural Healing. For me, being able to help others has always been very satisfying and my passion to help people become and stay healthy has grown to the point where I decided to make it my second career.
