I guess I won the lottery for crummy genetics, born with a painful, troublesome curse in my genes.

The OP might want to try neuro-acupuncture if it's available in her area. I'm trying it currently (well, not as I type this) for a couple issues which may or may not be neurological. But for some people it has gotten amazing results for neurological issues. The placement of needles in neuro-acupuncture is based on western neurology's knowledge of which areas of the brain typically correspond to which brain functions (with, I think, some use of points related to other parts of the nervous system--but most of it is scalp-oriented):

Fortunately for the health and well being of most of the country, naturopaths are only allowed to practice their particular brand of quackery in 16 states...

Balance and Falls
Agree with Mike, PT would be a good place to start.

Deserterer's suggestion of Tai Chai is also excellent..

Just because YOU never heard of it or your family members never heard of it doesn't mean it was not around. With the internet and message boards we are able to find out all kinds of stuff that we were not aware of before.

That's a common tactic she uses....if her parent's never heard of a condition when they were alive apparently it is questionable the condition actually exists.

I have never understood the logic behind that line of "reasoning" she uses it all the time regarding "cholesterol"

What is particularly fascinating is it only seems to matter if her "parents heard of something" if she questions the validity.

I would be willing to bet her parents never heard of grape seed extract or stem cell therapy either but apparently that is OK

Oh you are wrong, mom took grape seed ex for about 5 yrs..never had another cold or cold sore or flu and she died at 91 from heart wearing out.

BD: I think it's not very kosher to talk about others to members of the group. Happens so much with some of you. Rather unprofessional of many around here. Why not DM your friends to talk about me?

Correlation does not mean causation.
Regarding grape seed extract your go to panacea, I have now been taking it for about 9 months - on your recommendation. I was desperate for any kind of relief. So far it has done nada, zip, zero, zilch for my neuropathy. And I did get the flu in January.

Your body and mine are different..I have not had a cold or flu in some 20 yrs. As for the neuropathy I take other things too. And I've said my friend is off the gabapentin for the 20 some yrs of neuropathy she lives with, been taking grape seed ex for about 8 yrs. Neuropathy is not totally gone but she is improved and she's 85.

We are all DIFFERENT....maybe you are not taking enough, maybe not a quality product. Don't know.

And I've not touched an allergy sinus drug in 23 yrs.

Talking to my friend here who helps me with shopping and he's taking 200mg daily for a few weeks for general health and to hopefully keep prostate cancer from his body, says he's going to jump to 200mg two times daily. He's dealing with a head full of ocean water since he's a surfer and gets polluted with dirty ocean water...so he's working on that, and is not going to stop his surfing at 55.

Maybe I am not taking enough? Maybe its a bad quality? C'mon

So far there is no proven evidence that grape seed oil does anything.

If we are all different why do you use anecdotal evidence to make your arguments?
