Numbness in Hands and Feet

Question: I am 69 years old and have recently developed numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. I am also experiencing problems with my sense of balance and memory. My doctor says I am in good health for my age and this is happening because I am getting older. After reading Never Be Sick Again, I know better than to believe that. I was wondering what you think B. M. - Ashville, NC Answer: As you know from reading my book, there is only one disease and only two causes of disease. There are a number of possibilities to explain your problem, including the toxic side effects of a variety of prescription drugs. If you are on drugs, work with your doctor to get off these dangerous toxins. Assuming you are not on drugs, what you are experiencing is not uncommon in older people. This is why your doctor thinks it is the result of normal aging. In reality, it is very often the result of B vitamin deficiency. Get on the Beyond Health Ultimate Wellness kit plus B-12/Folate Formula which contains extra folic acid and vitamin B12. This program is rich in B vitamins and other nutrients, and there is a good chance that your problems will disappear within a few weeks of getting better nutrition.
