Introduction: Unmasking the Sinister Effects of Neuropathy

Are you fed up with neuropathy’s relentless assault on your life? It’s time to pull back the curtain and expose the truth. Take a gander at this eye-opening illustration, which reveals the insidious nature of neuropathy. On the left side of the image, there’s a depiction of a foot – your foot, to be exact – with a sinister red zone that highlights the site where nerves are withering away and inflicting pain. Shift your focus to the right side of the image, and you’ll spot the actual physical nerve, sprinkled with tiny red specks. These ominous dots represent the dying and decaying myelin sheath, a prime accomplice in neuropathy’s reign of terror.

It’s time to unveil a critical test you absolutely must take – the fasting insulin test. In the accompanying visual, you’ll find the insulin levels of one of my clients, indicated by a red arrow pointing at a staggering 41.8 – a level that’s off the charts. For reference, the standard insulin level range spans from 2.6 to 24.9, with research suggesting that the sweet spot lies between 5 and 6.

Scientific research has unmasked high insulin levels as a key instigator of five harmful effects, which include:

1. The Inflammation Inferno:

Skyrocketing glucose levels fan the flames of inflammation, ultimately incinerating nerves and causing irreparable damage.

2. AGEs: The Silent Assassins:

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are stealthy proteins lurking in your bloodstream, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and wreak havoc on your nerves.

3. The Relentless Siege of Chronic Inflammation:

High insulin levels wage a continuous war of attrition, engulfing your body in inflammation and creating a stronghold for diseases like neuropathy to fester and thrive.

4. The Stranglehold on Blood Flow:

By constricting blood circulation to tissues in your extremities, like your hands and feet, high insulin levels only serve to tighten neuropathy’s grip on your life.

Finally, the myelin sheath, the guardian of your nerves, is left defenseless and in ruins as high insulin levels cause it to crumble and decay.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The fasting insulin test is a critical secret weapon. High insulin levels are a key instigator of nerve damage. The ideal "sweet spot" is between 5 and 6, but levels like the example of 41.8 are dangerously high and directly contribute to neuropathy's progression.

High insulin causes nerve destruction through five main mechanisms: 1) Creating an "inflammation inferno" that incinerates nerves, 2) Producing Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) that attack nerves, 3) Causing relentless chronic inflammation, 4) Restricting blood flow to extremities, and 5) Breaking down the protective myelin sheath around nerves.

Neuropathy involves nerves "withering away," depicted as a sinister red zone on the foot. The nerve itself shows tiny red specks, which represent the dying and decaying myelin sheath—the protective covering whose breakdown is a prime accomplice in causing neuropathic pain.
