A friend of mine just contacted me saying that he has this decease since the past year. He has been doing homeotherapy and accupunture which helpt him to deal with this more easier.

Do any of you have heard someone reversing these condition with raw food?

Here below some of the description of this decease.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), or Tic Douloureux, ( also known as prosopalgia ) is a neuropathic disorder of the trigeminal nerve that causes episodes of intense pain in the eyes, lips, nose, scalp, forehead, and jaw.[1] Trigeminal neuralgia is considered by many to be among the most painful of conditions and once was labeled the "suicide disease" because of the significant numbers of people taking their own lives before effective treatments were discovered. An estimated one in 15,000 people suffers from trigeminal neuralgia, although numbers may be significantly higher due to frequent misdiagnosis. It usually develops after the age of 40, although there have been cases with patients being as young as three years of age [

My friend was telling about me her new holistic dentist saying that the pain she had three root canals for, by another holistic dentist, was caused by the trigeminal nerve. So it is something to look into before having that kind of work done. I kept mis pronouncing it as trigenital, so I am interested to learn more about it. I don't know how you could treat it with raw diet, but wonders never cease about how many conditions are affected by the raw enzymes of fresh food.

Thank you Lavendula. I felt so bad for him, he already is dealing with MS. I wonder what would trigger such a thing such this new illness Trigeminal neuralgia.

It sound like the shingles too for the nerves are attack as well. But this decease seems to be in the mouth area. He is already vegan so and he will be coming over next week. I am hoping to try raw food with him but i got a feeling that he may need more such enzyme treatment.

I wonder what helps our nerve system to function well beside controlling our emotions.

Thank you for your response

I will ask my friend what else she has learned about it, she does alot of research. I have alot of nerve pain myself, and have trouble overcoming it sometimes. I hope he can find relief, the raw diet can't hurt. There are many homeopathic, and nutritional approaches for dealing with nerve pain. I would google it.
