| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about a hidden factor, okay, a vitamin deficiency in numb hands or pins |
| 0:29.8 | and needles in your hands or your feet, okay. A lot of people have this, they might even have |
| 0:34.8 | carpal tunnel syndrome and there's a hidden cause for it and I want to talk about it. But I first |
| 0:40.5 | want to kind of give you some definitions of some words that might be new. The first term is |
| 0:46.0 | myelin, myelin. Myelin is the coating around the nervous system. It allows the nerve impulses |
| 0:54.3 | to travel. And without this myelin, you're going to have a short circuit in the electrical |
| 0:59.2 | system and you can get all sorts of what's called paresthesia, which means abnormal sensation. |
| 1:06.3 | And paresthesia could be a combination of numbness, tingling, pins and needles, cold, hot burning |
| 1:13.9 | pain can come from a lack of myelin on your nervous system or your spinal column, okay. And the |
| 1:23.1 | medical term for that is the myelination, the removal of this myelin sheath around the nervous |
| 1:29.2 | system. Now, and there's another term I want to introduce you to and that's called myelopathy, |
| 1:34.3 | okay. What's myelopathy? Myelopathy, if you break it down, myelopathy meaning spinal cord |
| 1:41.0 | and pathy meaning suffering, okay. So your spinal cord is suffering, you know, from various reasons. |
| 1:48.8 | And one reason is the myelin sheath is breaking down. And when that myelin sheath breaks down, |
| 1:54.7 | you start feeling sensations in your hands and your feet. One cause of this could be |
| 2:02.4 | diabetes, okay, where you have the loss of this myelin sheath because your sugar is too high. |
| 2:09.0 | And that's usually a deficiency of thymine, okay. Because thymine is also involved in making |
| 2:14.6 | this myelin. And so you would just take more thymine and change your diet and that problem would |
| 2:21.1 | greatly improve. And that usually happens in your feet first, okay. Not necessarily in the hands, |
| 2:27.3 | but it can happen in the hands, but it's mainly in the bottom of the feet. But if it's in the hands, |
| 2:35.0 | one cause of this breakdown in myelin is a vitamin B12 deficiency. It's actually quite common. A |
| 2:44.5 | lot of people are not getting that B12. And that's why I'm doing this video right now to bring up |
