Question
Hi. A good friend of mine was just diagnosed with "Trigeminal neuralgia." Any ideas of supplements that might help him?

Thanks so much!
David

Answer
For any type of neuralgia you need to work with restoring the nerves/.
I would suggest
1. detoxing the heavy metals from the body
2. eating and taking in LOTS of good fats.
Nuts, olive, olive oil, fish from the ocean, avacados
3. lots of good antioxidants

Herbally I would suggest taking internally
Devils Claw
DHA as a good fat
IF Relief for the inflamation
Nerve eight for repairing the nreves
St. Johns Wort for nerve repair
Wood Bentony for nerve repair
Thai go or Super ORAC as an antioxidant
Super Omega 3 and DHA for good fats.
