A Knee Recovery Nightmare! Right Total Knee Replacement My Physical and Emotional Fight Against Pain Hypersensitivity and Protective Muscle Guarding – written by Cathy Banovac – interview by Lisa Pelley and Mary Elliott – Cathy was coached by Erin Rempher, PTA My name is Cathy and I reside in Arizona. I am 57 years old, a homemaker, and have had a genetic history of chronic osteoarthritis.  From a very young age, I have always had a very low pain threshold.  Prior to the commencement of pain in my knee, I considered myself a fairly fit and active person…loved gardening, entertaining family and friends, cooking, crafting, playing golf, traveling with my husband, walking our dogs, and playing with our grandchildren. Life was good! Early Summer In addition to the normal aches and pains that come with aging, I began to experience more than usual pain in my right knee.  I was experiencing daily occurrences of popping/clicking, giving out when walking at times, difficulty negotiating steps or stairs, and nightly interrupted sleep due to pain.  Over the counter medications, icing, heat, etc. was no longer managing my symptoms.  Upon visiting an orthopedic surgeon for examination and subsequent imaging, I learned I was over 70% bone on bone in my right knee joint.  I was told I was looking at a total knee replacement.  I was preparing to head to Michigan for a family vacation on the lake with my kiddos in August, so was not happy to hear this news.  I convinced my doctor to give me a steroid injection just to buy me the time I needed to take my vacation.  He was reluctant and told me that he predicted it would do nothing to help my condition at the very least or, at the very most, last for a brief time.  I made it through the trip, yet 3 weeks post-injection the symptoms had returned. No More Injections My surgeon declined my request for another injection, instead reiterating my need for the TKR.  Over previous years, I had witnessed my mother, father, husband and a few friends have knee replacement surgeries.  All came through their surgeries with what appeared to me to be a fairly pain controlled, timely recovery and successful return to their regular daily activities.  I was told I was on the younger side for this type of procedure, nevertheless, would greatly benefit from extended quality of life and return to desired activity, given my current quality of life and daily activity was becoming more diminished by the day. My Knee Replacement I underwent RTKR on September 25.  All went well and as expected with the surgery.  I was up and walking, began some light physical therapy exercises, and maintained post-op range and motion through use of a CPM while in hospital.  I was discharged to home on the third day post-op, with a couple of narcotic pain medications (initially Percocet/Oxycodone and Morphine) and directions to commence in-home physical therapy the following day.  My follow-up visit with the surgeon was scheduled for 6 weeks post-op.  Day one at home began my challenging journey of recovery, both physically and emotionally.  I experienced difficulty managing my pain even with narcotics and over the counter medications.  My swelling was as expected and able to be kept in check with anti-inflammatory meds and icing.  I experienced annoying side effects from the narcotics, i.e., headaches, nausea, constipation, and thus was bounced from one medication and dosage to another, none of which seemed to be the right combination or solution to my pain.  Out of complete desperation and in uncontrollable pain, I went to the emergency room after being home for four days post-op, hoping to get some relief. A Problem with the Surgery? I thought surely there must be something wrong.  A few hours later, together with a lecture from the hospital PT and some morphine, I was discharged back to home.  Back on more medication, I failed to again find relief from pain.  I was averaging about 2-3 hours of sleep per night and little sleep during the day.  My home physical therapist had her work cut out for her.  Over the next 4 weeks (twelve 45 min. sessions of in-home PT), I had yet to reach better than 85 degrees flexion and 10 degrees extension.  My in-home therapist said she spent most of those 4 weeks strengthening my calves, hamstrings, and quad muscles, all which were extremely weak.  Therefore, already I was approximately 4 weeks behind in range and motion advancement.  My pain was still very much out of control, all while I feared becoming more and more dependent on the narcotics prescribed. At the first follow-up appointment (six weeks post-op), my flexion was below 90 degrees and extension still not at the zero degree mark.  I was informed by my surgeon that I needed a Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA).  My knee felt very stiff, pain was still unmanageable, and I was stuck without advancement in physical therapy. Manipulation Under Anesthesia He took x-rays and made sure the appliance was not loose or slipping out of placement.  All was found to be in proper order and an examination found no infection that could be causing pain or other symptoms.  My surgeon had done his job.  I was told however, that he believed I was stuck due to scar tissue build-up and thus was in need of the MUA to break up the scar tissue.  This would also permit the ability to continue physical therapy, working towards achievement of the desirable degree of range and motion outcomes.  I underwent the MUA six weeks and one day post-op and immediately resumed PT the following day.  I was told not to worry about a reduction in my flexion and extension after having the MUA.  An MUA tends to put patients back about 3-4 weeks, so it is almost like starting all over again.  However, the idea is that advancement in range and motion should become easier now that the scar tissue has been broken up by the procedure.  I went to PT for 5 days in a row the first week following the MUA, did my home exercises faithfully on my own twice a day, then returned to PT three times a week for the next several weeks. After the MUA At the two week follow-up appointment post the MUA, I was still in unmanageable pain, still getting only 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, and running every gamut of emotion and temperament.  My poor husband was beside himself and wondering whatever became of the woman he married 27 years ago.  My flexion was still only reaching in the low 90's and my extension was no better either.  I was still experiencing great sensitivity to the touch anywhere on or around my surgical knee.  I couldn't stand wearing pants or having any sheet or blanket covering my knee.  My pain was the worst at night, just when I was settling in for some restful moments on the couch watching TV with my husband.  I would suddenly be lifted off my seat with either pain that mimicked touching a lit match to my knee, or the stabbing of a knife, or the shock of a taser. Dealing with the Pain This pain varied and sometimes was relentless for several minutes.  I was in tears most evenings and headed to bed to ice or apply heat, which calmed the nerve pain somewhat.  I would take meds (Hydrocodone/Norco, Extra-Strength Tylenol, Ibuprofen,  Zofran (for nausea) Vitamins, a stool softener (due to Hydrocodone) and Gabapentin aka Neurontin.  I was soooo sick of taking medications.  I think my surgeon was beside himself as to how to control my pain and sensitivity, therefore, he recommended I seek help at a Pain Management Clinic for possible sympathetic blocks, as well as my medicinal pain management.  Both he and my physical therapist told me I was forecasting pain neurologically before any exerted physical effort on their part was made to cause any pain.  My intolerance for any amount of pain was prohibiting any measurable progress in my range and motion, thus scar tissue was building at a rapid pace.  Physical therapy continued to be a challenge as I protective muscle guarded any force applied by my therapist to get better R&M.  I cried through most of my sessions. Pain Management At my first appointment with the Pain Management Clinic, I met with the doctor.  Most people have sympathetic blocks in their back to relieve nerve pain, but the doctor I was referred to chose to recommend a Genicular Neurotomy, accomplished through a procedure called Coolief Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation.  I first underwent a test which involved Lidocaine injections in four areas surrounding my new knee.  The patient then logs their pain and activities over the following 72 hours.  A follow-up appointment with a Nurse Practitioner then reviews the log and determines eligibility for the ablation procedure.  At this appointment she chose to cut my medication cold-turkey for a couple of days as she deemed I was dependent on them, even though I was getting little pain control.  I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms for two days. A Change in Medication I thought I was going to go out of my mind.  A change in my medication increased the Gabapentin I was taking, and I was found to be eligible for the ablation.  I underwent that procedure approximately 6 weeks post my first MUA, just before the Thanksgiving holiday.  I was told that I would still be experiencing pain for approximately 4-6 weeks, due to the fact that the ablation was going to make my nerves “angry” as they fought their temporary death.  I was also informed that this procedure is temporary as nerve endings most often regenerate themselves over a 6 month to 2 year period.  Some patients must undergo two or three of these procedures to get lasting relief. Unhappy News This was not happy news to my ears, yet I was still desperate for relief and reaching out for anything, and I mean anything, that would control my pain.  I returned to the pain clinic for a follow-up to the ablation procedure only to report pain still very bad and that I was still taking a boatload of medication, icing, heat to quad muscles to relieve cramping, and poor results in physical therapy sessions.  I was told to give it more time and come back in a few more weeks.   At my next follow-up approximately 3 weeks later, I discharged myself from the Pain Management Clinic.  I felt that their treatment plan was not successful for me and they had no other plan to offer other than continued reliance on prescription medication and time. When recovery goes wrong – Read More A Desparate Time After barely getting through the Christmas holidays, persisting in physical therapy and weaning myself down on prescription medications (since they didn't seem to be having any great effect on my pain), I began to explore the possibility of medical marijuana as a solution to my pain control.  I have never tried marijuana and had little desire to smoke or vape it, but was interested in edibles they have out now.  I was desperate and finding myself sinking into anxiety, panic attacks and, at times, depression.  My family and my husband were becoming very concerned as I was changing into a person they did not know and they were at a loss as how to help me through my circumstances. Medical Marijuana Since medical marijuana is legal in the State of Arizona, I sought out a doctor with whom I met and applied for a patient card.  This process took approximately 3 weeks, including approval of my application through the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services.  Upon receiving my card, I met with a licensed nurse at a dispensary to become educated about the various products and my specific needs.  She was recommended by the doctor who signed off on my patient eligibility and works with a number of cancer patients to help control their symptoms.  We met for over an hour.  She was extremely patient with me, educating me about cannabis (which I knew little of) and gave me recommendations to try.  I purchased three of her recommendations.  I also decided to try getting a light massage once per week.  The massages lasted for approximately three weeks before I decided to suspend them, as I found them not helpful enough to warrant the expense. Little if Any Improvement Having done everything I was asked to do in my recovery and still making little if any gains, I found myself in a very dark place emotionally, desperate to end my pain, and I was done!!  One day, I was occupying my time, in between home therapy and out-patient therapy sessions, searching the Internet for anything that might literally save me.  When in answer to my prayer, I came across several website postings about a therapy called X10.  I shared some of it with my husband, my parents and my kids.  They encouraged me to explore it more.  After reading some of the patient blogs and watching a few of the videos that I could access, I made my first contact with PJ Ewing by emailing him.  PJ responded very quickly telling me that the X10 Therapy and machine was not yet available in the State of Arizona, but he provided me with some other resources.  I was initially devastated by this news, but I almost immediately decided that I was not going to accept that response.  I instantly thought to myself, “Well, if it is not available in AZ, then maybe I can travel to wherever it is available. Not Taking ‘No’ for an Answer This time, I placed a phone call to PJ and we talked for over an hour.  As it so happened, in our conversation I discovered that the X10 headquarters is in Franklin, MI, and I had family who lived in Rochester, MI.  PJ was more than gracious in discussing all the parameters and specifics of the possibility of travel to Michigan to undergo the X10 program.  To say the least, after completion of my discussion with PJ, I heard God say “Not yet, Cathy, I still have a plan for you on this earth.”  I discussed the possibilities with my husband and shared them also with my son and daughter-in-law, exploring their permission to have me as a houseguest for 2-3 weeks.  Of course, they couldn't have been more gracious and welcoming. Pain Still a Big Problem My pain was still out of control, I continued out patient PT three times a week with slow or little advancement in my R&M, had my six week MUA follow-up with my surgeon only to be told I was facing a second MUA.  I told my surgeon and my physical therapist about the X10 Therapy website I had discovered, and PJ sent me the clinical data to share with them.  Each of them, I am grateful to say, told me they had looked at the data and were “intrigued” by the therapy plan.  Both encouraged me to pursue it as an option for me, yet both also strongly indicated that enough time had passed between my first MUA and the ablation, therefore, still recommended I have the second MUA before commencing X10 Therapy. Turning to X10 Therapy after a Second MUA Once my husband and I had made the decision to pursue this plan, the wheels began to roll quickly.  Initially, I scheduled the 2nd MUA and a flight out from Phoenix to Detroit by myself the next day following the MUA.  I notified PJ of my  plans and he began to put things in motion by placing me in contact with Mary Elliott, Melissa, Mike, a therapy Coach, Erin a Physical Therapist, and Marty, a technician for machine home delivery and set-up.  The X10 Therapy approach is really a “team” approach to wellness, in addition to the machine itself and the technological programs it delivers to the patient. The Second MUA Was Coming Up As the days approached the 2nd MUA, I became extremely anxious and experienced a couple of panic attacks.  I began to stress about the MUA pain, having gone through one already.  The thought of flying alone, even though my son would be there to meet me at the other end of my flight, and having to get through a 4 hour flight plus 1 hour car ride to his home in pain, had me scared beyond belief.  I was consumed with thinking about how I would manage my pain.  Should I just knock myself out to sleep on the plane?  What if that didn't work?  What meds could I then take if in pain?  What about my leg position – straightening and bending?  How would I get help from curb, through security, to gate, onto plane and the same again when arriving including a stop at baggage claim?  How am I going to sleep at night?  Is this therapy going to put me back in unmanageable pain again, even though the X10 Therapy information says I am in control?  What if it doesn't work?  Can this end my knee recovery nightmare? And on and on and on…! Making Plans After talking it over with my husband and doctor, it was decided that I would delay my trip to Michigan for one week following the 2nd MUA.  I would continue outpatient PT immediately following the MUA, but have some time to consult with a psychologist concerning my sleep depravation, fears, anxiety/depression and develop a plan to manage my pain, as well as talk to the airline for special assistance to help solve my transportation needs.  My husband decided to make the trip with me for a couple of days, just to get me settled and started with X10 Therapy.  Armed with a revised medication and travel plan, I notified the X10 Team of my change in start date and all were extremely understanding and accommodating.  I had the 2nd MUA  on January 18.  I continued outpatient PT for three more sessions, in addition to my own home exercises twice per day.  My daily sleep and pain control was managed better and I was counting the days until our departure date.  It simply could not arrive fast enough! Friday, January 19 This will remain a very important and pivotable day in my life.  My journey towards healing, life anew and well-being would begin that very day.  Having endured a comfortable flight and having managed all the transportation arrangements with ease (kudos to Delta Airlines), we arrived at my son's home ready to commence what I can now claim as my own personal miracle.  Within an hour, Marty arrived with a smile, this technological marvel known as the X10 machine, and a thorough first orientation/training session filled with words of encouragement and confidence.  I was on my way, although until I began to see results (which were really displayed within that first session), I Had Hope I was still cautiously optimistic about where I was headed.  Could I really achieve the flexion and extension goals I was unable to achieve thus far with any of my existing recovery methods?  Would this therapy really enable me to manage my pain comfortably with mild medications?  Could I trust my X10 therapist and her plan for me?  Would the X10 team really be there for me when I needed them?  Was the X10 therapy the answer to my prayers?  Would I really be returning home in as little as  just over 2 weeks time to see my surgeon's and physical therapist's jaws drop as they witnessed my flexion and extension reach what we all thought would be skeptical results, but instead blow them away with incredible success?  It would not be long before I could actually acknowledge to myself that the answers to each of those questions would be a resounding YES! 110º Flexion Once I was able to reach the 110 degree mark for flexion, it was decided that I would add 5 min a day on the stationery bike. As I felt comfortable, I was able to increase that time in small increments and add another bike session in the evening.  While my progress was measurable daily, I did experience some cramping in my right thigh and calf, dealt with some bursitis in my right hip for about two weeks, and waking with some right leg pain some nights. Taking Care of Myself I found icing and elevating regularly after each exercise session, icing my hip, heat on my upper thigh at night, Tramadol 50 mg. only twice a day with Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen alternated during the day, and Theraworx Relief foam massaged in the cramping areas once or twice a day helped keep my discomfort manageable.  In addition, I spent some resting time researching dietary recommendations for inflammation and pain.  I incorporated tumeric, magnesium, Osteo Bi-flex, 100% Cherry or Pineapple Juice, Vitamin B6 & B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, fresh berries and decaffeinated tea with ginger, lemon and honey in my daily diet.  I also decided to limit carbohydrates and sugar intake in an effort to keep my inflammatory response in check. One Week In After one week on the X10 and with constant reassurance and communication from all of my X10 team, I could actually begin to call this journey and the X10 Therapy my miracle.  I had breached the 100's for flexion after starting at 55 degrees, and reached 0 degrees at the end of the first session on my extension, previously at 8 degrees.  My fears, anxiety and uncertainty soon gave way to renewed love for life, joy at gaining confidence in doing daily activities again, sharing my daily success by telephone with family and friends, and hope for the future.  The almost daily contact from one or more of my X10 team members answered any questions that arose, provided authentic cheerleading for my cause, and motivated me to press on for better and better results. Working with My Coach Mary called often to check in with me and was my calm and steady encourager.  My conversations with her were uplifting and kind of like talking to an old friend, casual and comforting.  My PT, Erin, made a home visit to discuss my history and offered varied strategies for increasing my flexion degrees, as well as made adjustments in my therapy plan due to some bursitis that I had recently developed in my right hip.  She was careful to make the appropriate adjustments to my therapy plan.  She and Mike (my strengthening coach and with whom I also met in person to go over exercises), together modified my plan by delaying some of the exercises, while still permitting three sessions a day for range and motion growth. Conclusions As I approach my last day of sessions on the X10 Therapy machine and a return home to Arizona tomorrow, I write my story to encourage anyone who has experienced one or more of the circumstances that I experienced subsequent to a total knee replacement.  I am happy to report that I was successful in breaking through some of my scar tissue, reaching 0 degrees for my extension and 117 degrees flexion.  My gait is much improved and, as I have returned to walking without a limp or dragging my surgical leg, the pain in my hip and lower back has also improved greatly. My knee recovery nightmare has finally come to an end. Some Rehab Insurance I will continue outpatient therapy immediately upon my return home in order to solidify my current range and motion, and even further improve my flexion as I am able.  I write this also as a means of paying it forward to future patients of the X10 and in grateful appreciation to my X10 Team, my family and my friends who affirmed, guided, encouraged, and yes, celebrated, my X10 Therapy journey of success.  The proof, as they say, is in the pudding, which is said to mean that you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it.  I absolutely cannot wait to share my experience and demonstrate my range and motion achievement in person to my surgeon and PT Team back home in Arizona.

Nurse Doza explores the power of Vitamin B6 in this episode of the Ingredient Series. From mood and sleep to stress resilience and neurotransmitter production, B6 is a silent workhorse most people are deficient in. Learn why the form P5P matters and how it helps support calm, focused energy. ✅ 5 Key Takeaways  • Vitamin B6 is critical for neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine  • Supports mood, sleep, and stress regulation  • Creates “calm energy,” not stimulation  • Best taken in the form P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate)  • Included in MSW Nutrition's Zen formula

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared is joined by his wife Jen to explore how folic acid, a synthetic B vitamin, is affecting our health - and the role of genetics in it all. What began as a simple dietary change unexpectedly revealed how folic acid in fortified foods, different forms of B vitamins, and individual genetics can significantly influence mood, energy, and mental clarity. Jared and Jen share their personal experience removing folic acid, adjusting B12 forms, and learning why some people thrive on methylated B vitamins while others feel worse. You'll learn the key differences between folic acid and folate, why more supplementation isn't always better, how B12 forms like methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and adenosylcobalamin behave differently in the body, and why B6, B12, and folate must work together as a team. This episode provides a practical framework for understanding why “doing everything right” doesn't always lead to optimal results—and how thoughtful experimentation, label reading, and food quality make a meaningful difference.B Vitamin Products DiscussedAdditional Information:Episode #601 Blog Post#505: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 5 - The Impact of Diet on Mental Health and Physical PainCheck out all five“Jen's Story” Episodes!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

In line with a key update from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), this episode explores all things vitamin B6. Prof Clare Collins and Ilyse Jones discuss the serious issue of vitamin B6 toxicity, and emphasise the importance of reading labels carefully, as many supplements contain hidden ingredients that can lead to health complications. The conversation also explores the growing trend of supplement use, why professional guidance is essential, and why a diet rich in whole foods is the safest way to meet your nutritional needs. The TGA has announced stronger safety controls for products containing vitamin B6, where products containing 50mg or more will (from 1 June 2027) require advice from a pharmacist or a prescription from a doctor to be available for sale - to reduce the risk of nerve damage from long-term high-dose use. You can read the full update here: https://www.tga.gov.au/news/media-releases/stronger-safety-controls-be-introduced-products-containing-vitamin-b6Consumers should always check labels for vitamin B6 (also called pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, or pyridoxal) and seek medical advice if experiencing symptoms like tingling, burning, or numbness in hands or feet.Foods rich in magnesium: Nuts, wholegrains, legumes (like lentils), dark green vegetables, avocadoFoods rich in Vitamin B6: Meat, chicken, peanuts, tofu and soy products, oats and some fortified breakfast cereals, bananas, watermelon and milk.

Mastalgia is a common breast complaint in reproductive aged women. Mastalgia can be separated into three categories: 1) cyclical, 2) noncyclical, and 3) extramammary. Vitamin B6 is often cited as a homeopathic (non-prescription/pharmacological) remedy for simple mastalgia. Does the published data support its use? A newly published meta-analysis sheds light on the subject.1. Sharifipour, F., Siahkal, S.F. & Bagherinia, M. The effectiveness of vitamin B6 in reducing mastalgia: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Women's Health 25, 421 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12905-025-03991-x2.

In today's episode, Chris & Filly dig into a controversial topic that has made the news headlines over the past few months: Vitamin B6 toxicity. While it is a serious condition (and unfortunately has negatively affected the lives of some), we want to cut through the fear-mongering headlines about B6 toxicity to give you more balanced, science-backed information you need as someone on a healing journey. By the end of the episode, you'll understand exactly why B6 is crucial for healing, when it becomes problematic, and how to use it safely and effectively. In today's episode, Chris & Filly talk about about: B6 toxicity symptoms mirror deficiency symptoms, which can cause confusion around whether there is a toxicity or deficiency. Inactive B6 (pyridoxine) causes most toxicity cases, while active P5P used in most practitioner supplements is safer (and more therapeutic) at lower doses. Only 1 in 500,000 people experience B6 toxicity, typically from high-dose inactive forms taken without supervision, and most of the case's symptoms resolve after stopping the supplement. New proposed TGA regulations around Vit B6 formulas and who can sell/prescribe them - and what the natural medicine industry body thinks. "Test don't guess" - with proper monitoring prevents toxicity and ensures the right form and dose for your needs.

Nachdem in früheren Folgen schon Vitamin B6 und Vitamin B12 Thema waren, schauen Volker Pietzsch und Dr. med. Sybille Freund heute mal auf eine andere Variante: auf Vitamin B3, auch „Niacin“ genannt. Wie viele Vitamine ist auch dieses ein kleines Wundermittel: es wirkt positiv auf zahlreiche Körperfunktionen - und es hilft bei der Senkung der Cholesterin-Werte. Da das aber ein sehr oft falsch verstandenes Thema ist, biegt Frau Dr. Freund heute mal kurz ab und redet auch über Blutfette. Und über Zellmembranen. Und über einen roten Kopf, den man vom Niacin bekommen kann. Alle Podcast-Folgen und ein ausführliches Stichwortregister finden Sie hier: https://doktorfreund.de/podcast

*NOTE: Huge audio-visual sync issue for most of this episode. Karinda's brain couldn't handle fixing it. Sorry, video watchers!In this light-hearted (but always informative!) episode, acknowledging we're more 'edu-comedy' than strictly education, we dive into the implications of over-supplementation, focusing primarily on vitamin B6 and its side effects, such as peripheral neuropathy. We cover the quality and sources of nutrients in the Australian diet, and the importance of proper supplementation guidance. They also touch on the efficacy and concerns surrounding gummy supplements (you might hate us), frozen vegetables (you might be surprised at our thoughts!), and the role of probiotics.

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, we tackle the complex world of supplements, focusing on one essential yet often misunderstood vitamin: B6. For breast cancer survivors, supplements can feel like a lifeline, but they're not always the safest or most effective choice. Join me, as I dive into understanding the role of supplements and the science behind vitamin B6, its role in the body, and why it deserves special consideration after a breast cancer diagnosis. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why breast cancer survivors often turn to supplements for a sense of safety. The staggering amount of money spent annually on supplements—and how much is actually absorbed by the body. The critical role of vitamin B6 in hormone regulation, brain health, and energy metabolism. How cancer treatments alter liver function and impact vitamin metabolism. Why high doses of B6 supplements may pose risks for breast cancer survivors, including interference with cancer treatments. Evidence from studies exploring the relationship between B6, cancer, and overall health outcomes. The benefits of getting B6 from whole foods and a list of nutrient-rich options. Links to Studies Cited Dietary Sources vs. Supplementation of B6: Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention: Read the study here Highlights the benefits of plasma B6 levels from dietary sources and associated health markers. B6 Supplementation and Cancer Treatments: Journal of Clinical Oncology: Access the study here Discusses how excess B6 supplementation may interfere with drug metabolism and exacerbate treatment side effects. Key Takeaways Supplements Are Not One-Size-Fits-All: Each person's body is unique, and cancer survivors have different nutritional needs and metabolic processes. B6 from Food Is Safer: Nutrient-rich foods like chicken, salmon, bananas, potatoes, and spinach provide B6 naturally without the risks of over-supplementation. Work with Your Care Team: Before adding any supplements to your routine, consult with a healthcare provider to tailor choices to your specific health needs. Actionable Steps Review your current supplement regimen and evaluate whether it aligns with your health goals. Incorporate more B6-rich foods into your diet for safe and natural benefits.

Sounds like a boring and not-relevant-for-most topic but it was a surprisingly interesting and relevant-for-many conversation. Did you know that some widely-used magnesium supplements contain up to forty times (40X) the RDI (recommended daily intake) of vitamin B6? Even more ridiculous when you consider that most people don't even know these products contain any B6 because they're actually trying to supplement their magnesium! And what are the potential consequences of overdosing on B6? Oh, only muscle weakness, nerve damage, numbness, tingling, nausea, loss of balance, peripheral pain, vision damage and more. Guess who just checked and (subsequently) chucked his magnesium tabs in the bin?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A building block of several neurotransmitters that play a key role in a limitless mind; dopamine, epinephrine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and GABA.Vitamin B6 (or Pyroxidine) is a water-soluble vitamin that needs to be consumed daily via diet or supplementation. It operates as a Nootropic or smart drug benefiting our cognition, memory, nervous system, and brain health in multiple dimensions.Read Meta-Analysis

Today, we are exploring the benefits of Vitamin B6.Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient for horses and humans, and I use it regularly for various purposes. In this episode, I explain how it functions in the body, the signs and causes of a Vitamin B6 deficiency, and how to use it effectively.Nutrient Deficiency and Therapeutic Use of B6 in HorsesVitamin B6 gets used for its therapeutic properties in horses, even without a confirmed deficiency. Many horses are likely deficient in Vitamin B6, especially those on hay diets without access to fresh forage.Regulatory Minimums in Horse FeedsIn Canada, the CFIA mandates minimum levels of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E) in horse feeds, but B vitamins like B6 are often left out. That can lead to deficiencies, as the commercial feeds might not always meet the nutrient requirements of some horses.Digestive and Absorption ChallengesMany horses struggle to absorb nutrients from their feed, especially those with digestive issues like ulcers, colic, or diarrhea. Even when given sufficient food, compromised digestion can reduce the effectiveness and compound nutritional deficiencies over time.Role of B6 in Metabolism and HealthVitamin B6 is essential for carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, so it is critical for horses with metabolic conditions like insulin resistance. Vitamin B6 also supports magnesium and Vitamin B12 absorption and helps to address those nutrient deficiencies.B6 for Skin, Immunity, and InflammationVitamin B6 helps with conditions like itchy, flaky skin and hives in horses. It also improves immune health by regulating inflammation and fluid retention, making it particularly useful for horses with metabolic issues.Neurological and Behavioral BenefitsVitamin B6 is involved in neurotransmitter production, like serotonin and melatonin, which affect brain health and mood regulation. Horses with anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues may benefit from Vitamin B6 supplementation, as it helps balance the nervous system.Hormonal Imbalance and Liver SupportVitamin B6 helps regulate estrogen, making it useful for mares with hormonal issues or insulin-resistant horses with liver stress. It supports liver detoxification, which is crucial for horses with a high toxic load due to poor diet or metabolic conditions.Sources of B6Vitamin B6 is in flax and wheat germ, but it is hard to determine the exact amount in horse feed. As such, targeted Vitamin B6 supplementation is often necessary to meet their needs.Signs of Vitamin B6 DeficiencyDeficiency symptoms include hormonal imbalances, weight gain, joint inflammation (often misdiagnosed as arthritis), skin problems, depression, and anxiety. So, horses with these symptoms tend to improve with Vitamin B6 supplementation.Proper Dosage and FormsThe recommended Vitamin B6 dose for horses is around 750 mg of B6 daily, with up to 1000 mg for a loading dose. The pyridoxine form of B6 is commonly used for horses, while the P5P form is more bioavailable for humans.ConclusionVitamin B6 offers significant benefits, from supporting metabolic health to improving behavioral issues and reducing inflammation. If you are trying Vitamin B6 for your horse, pay attention to any health or mood changes and adjust the dosage as needed.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my email list to be notified about new podcast releases and upcoming webinars.Free Webinar Masterclass: Four Steps to Solving Equine Metabolic...

Today, we are tackling the topic of swelling, a symptom I often encounter in horses.Swelling, particularly in the udder or sheath, is usually accompanied by extremity swelling (peripheral edema) due to fluid pooling in the legs. Visible swelling is a common concern for horse owners. It is never a good sign, especially if it becomes chronic.The Lymphatic SystemWhen I see fluid retention in horses, I think about the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system maintains the fluid balance between the blood and tissues, excreting toxins and supporting the immune system. Fluid Retention Many owners fail to recognize fluid retention in their horses, mistaking it for weight gain. But they usually realize it when they notice the swollen or puffy tissues. Once these horses get put on a proper metabolic program, the swelling reduces, and they lose significant weight.Factors Contributing to Fluid RetentionFluid retention in horses can be the result of various factors. Insulin resistance and metabolic issues are common, but owners should consider thyroid health, liver function, and lymphatic efficiency. Damaged capillaries due to advanced insulin resistance can cause fluid leakage, and protein deficiencies can also result in fluid buildup, presenting a pot-bellied or bloated appearance.Movement is KeyA big reason for fluid retention is a lack of movement. Horses must move as their lymphatic system relies on movement to function properly. Their hooves play a vital role in circulating blood and lymph, and when horses stand still for long periods, the fluid retention worsens. So movement is essential, whether through exercise or simply encouraging them to walk around in their environment.Diet and Sugar ContentSugar content in a horse's diet, especially from grass, plays a significant role in fluid retention. Too much sugar leads to glycogen storage, which causes water retention. By controlling the sugar intake and increasing fiber, protein, and healthy fats, the swelling will reduce, and metabolic function will improve. However, diet alone will not solve the problem if the horse does not move enough.Allergies and Protein DeficiencyIf swelling persists despite addressing movement and sugar levels, it is worth exploring allergies or protein deficiencies. Sometimes, horses react to particular types of hay or even alfalfa, which may lead to inflammation and fluid retention. Ensuring a balanced protein intake is essential, as low protein can cause fluid to pool in the belly area.Stress and Hormonal FactorsStress affects insulin and cortisol levels, potentially damaging capillaries and leading to fluid retention. Movement is a great way to reduce stress and improve circulation, and exercise is a critical factor in managing insulin resistance and overall health.B6 and Magnesium SupplementsOnce the diet and movement of the horse are optimized, supplements can help address any remaining fluid retention. Vitamin B6 is my go-to, as it helps reduce fluid retention by acting as a diuretic and improving kidney function. Magnesium can also be helpful, but B6 is usually the most effective supplement.ConclusionFluid retention in horses is a common issue and often a sign of underlying problems like poor circulation, high blood sugar, or nutritional imbalances. Movement, diet, and stress management are the keys to addressing it, with supplements like B6 providing additional support if needed.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my

Anxiety, depression, and other mental distress can be caused by pyrrole disorder (aka pyroluria). How can this loss of zinc, Vitamin B6, and other nutrients be identified and treated? “He suddenly developed anxiety, intrusive thoughts and images…[of] brutal things happening to his parents,” says Dr. Jingduan Yang MD, describing his then 9-year-old patient, who also suffered insomnia, restlessness, and low attention span. A simple urine test of the boy confirmed much higher than normal kryptopyrrole in his system – a problem Dr. Yang sees in 50 to 70 percent of his patients; often severely impacting their mental health. Dr. Yang is a psychiatrist and integrative medicine doctor who combines western medicine and holistic medicine, including acupuncture and advanced nutrient therapy in his practice. “People come in with all kinds of diagnoses–bipolar disorder, major depression, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective [disorder], and all kinds of things,” he says. “But nobody…[asked if] there was an underlying biochemical imbalance contributing to a critical nutritional deficiency, he adds.” Dr. Yang joins Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon to highlight pyrrole disorder as an overarching cause of mental disorder. What signs would alert parents to pyrrole disorder in their children? And where does the 9-year-old treated with advanced nutrient therapy stand now, five years later?

Around 20% to 50% of all women will have some sort of fibroid or endometriosis before the age of 50. A fibroid is a growth on the uterus that is not cancerous. Research has shown that vitamin D may help shrink the size of fibroids. If you're vitamin D deficient, your risk of developing uterine fibroids is much higher. Vitamin D naturally inhibits the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens to estrogen. Vitamin D can also affect the fibroid itself. If you have enough vitamin D, certain tumor and cancer cells will commit suicide. Dr. Bruce Hollis has done extensive research on the benefits of vitamin D but says a lot of research on vitamin D has been rejected by top medical journals! Around 50,000 IUs of vitamin D daily may help shrink fibroids in the uterus. You'll also need to take the following vitamin D cofactors: •500 mcg vitamin K2 •800 mg magnesium •50 mg zinc •Vitamin B6 and boron (recommended dose on the bottle) More tips to help shrink fibroids naturally: • Get on the ketogenic diet • Increase your consumption of cruciferous vegetables • Limit dairy consumption DATA: https://www.europeanreview.org/wp/wp-... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11914... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11470... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36014... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24174... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...

While isoniazid isn't a common toxicant seen in dogs, this antimicrobial (used to treat tuberculosis) can potentially be fatal when dogs get into poisonous amounts. Veterinary professionals must be aware of the narrow margin of safety with this human and veterinary antibiotic. Isoniazid poisoning in dogs (and rarely, cats) results in seizures, and is considered a potentially life-threatening neurotoxicant. The good news? Isoniazid has an antidote, Vitamin B6/pyridoxine, and prompt treatment and antidote therapy is necessary for best outcome.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, Dr. Justine Lee, DACVECC, DABT discusses isoniazid toxicosis in dogs. While isoniazid isn't a common toxicant seen in dogs, this antimicrobial potentially be fatal when dogs get into poisonous amounts. Isoniazid (commonly known as INH) is a human medication used for tuberculosis. While it is used in veterinary medicine to treat Mycobacterium or Actinomyces, it has a narrow margin of safety in dogs and cats.1,2 This drug works by blocking the synthesis of mycolic acid. INH depletes the central nervous system (CNS) of pyridoxine and also decreases levels of GABA within the brain. Many assume that since this is an “antibiotic” that it is safe; however, when accidentally ingested in dogs (and rarely, cats), it can result in severe CNS signs (e.g., tremors, refractory seizures, coma, death). The LD50 in dogs is estimated to be as low as 50 mg/kg;1,2 at this same dose, seizures can be seen. One 300 mg tablet can result in severe poisoning in a 10-pound dog. Other clinical signs include gastrointestinal signs (e.g., hypersalivating, vomiting, diarrhea), acid-base disturbances (e.g., metabolic acidosis), hyperthermia (secondary to tremors or seizures) and organ injury (e.g., hepatic injury, acute kidney injury, etc.). Due to the rapid onset of clinical signs, it is often too late to decontaminate the patient. Gastric lavage under anesthesia may be necessary. Treatment also includes IV fluids, anti-emetics, anticonvulsants, muscle relaxants, supportive care, and the antidote pyridoxine hydrochloride (typically available as 100 mg/ML) (Dose: suggested dose of 71 mg/kg IV, diluted to 5-10%, slow over 30-60 minutes).1,2 Clinicopathologic monitoring should include a biochemistry panel and recheck hepatic panel (3-5 days later). Vitamin B6/pyridoxine and prompt treatment and antidote therapy is necessary for best outcome. Veterinary professionals must be aware of the narrow margin of safety with this human and veterinary antibiotic.

Today, I want to cover the symptoms of a vitamin B6 deficiency you may have never heard of before. “They” say it's rare to become deficient in vitamin B6. However, it's possible to have a subclinical B6 deficiency that still affects your well-being, even if it's not a full-blown vitamin B6 deficiency. Vitamin B6 is important to support a healthy body. Typically, there are no side effects of taking vitamin B6 if you take less than 200 mg daily. If you take too much vitamin B6, you could experience toxicity effects. However, you would have to consume over 1000 mg of vitamin B6 per day to cause any issues. Foods rich in vitamin B6 are: • Beef • Pork • Fish • Chicken It's pretty well-known that if you have low vitamin B6, you may experience symptoms, including: • Rashes around the nose • Cracks or rashes around the mouth • Pink eye • Anemia • Neurological problems • Numbness in the hands and feet • Depression Surprising symptoms of a vitamin B6 deficiency: 1. Inflammation (especially gut inflammation) 2. Inability to control polyunsaturated fatty acids 3. Deficiencies in neurotransmitters 4. Inability to convert ALA to DHA 5. Poor selenium function 6. Inability to convert tryptophan to niacin 7. Alopecia 8. Seizures 9. High homocysteine levels 10. Increased risk of autism 11. Increased risk of gut pathogens Causes of vitamin B6 deficiency: • Processed foods • Diuretics • Blood pressure medications • Antibiotics • Birth control pills • Alcohol • Pregnancy or lactation • Smoking • Herbicides • Ginkgo biloba DATA: https://microbiomejournal.biomedcentr... https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1...

Today I'm going to share three common nutritional deficiencies related to sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome and ways to tell which one might be affecting you most. Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 are intimately involved in the nervous system and may be behind these painful conditions. 1. Vitamin B6 benefits • Helps build the myelin sheath • Helps produce neurotransmitters • Helps protect sensory nerve integrity • Helps increase nerve conduction and velocity • Is involved in the metabolism of the nervous system Vitamin B6 deficiency causes: • Taking the wrong form of vitamin B6 in large amounts • Gut inflammation • Celiac disease • Crohn's disease • Age • Certain medications • Alcohol • Birth control pills • Certain genetic variations • Smoking • Diabetes • Excess coffee consumption * It's important to take the active form of vitamin B6, pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P). 2. Vitamin B12 benefits: • Helps support nerve regeneration • Helps support myelin production • Helps support nerve growth factors Vitamin B12 deficiency causes: • Certain genetic factors • Lack of animal products in the diet • Low stomach acid • Excess consumption of folic acid • Alcohol • Diabetes • Malabsorption • Birth control pills * It's important to take the natural form of vitamin B12, methylcobalamin. 3. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) benefits: • Helps support blood flow to the nerves • Helps counter the complications of diabetes Vitamin B1 deficiency causes: • Diabetes, prediabetes, and insulin resistance • Excess coffee consumption • Excess tea consumption * It's important to take the fat-soluble version of vitamin B1, benfotiamine.

Understanding the Role of Inflammation in Migraines: Migraines can be an indication of inflammation within the body – signaling that something is not right^(1^). Chronic migraine: Defined as a headache occurring on 15+ days in a month for over three months, having migraine features on at least 8 of those days^(1^). Migraine & Disability: Ranked second globally as a cause of disability^(1^). Glutamate and CNS: Elevated glutamate levels in blood and cerebrospinal fluid of migraine patients hint at its role in migraine pathophysiology^(2^). Vitamin B6: Its roles extend beyond being a coenzyme in converting excitatory glutamate into inhibitory GABA; it's also crucial for neurotransmitter production and other neural pathways^(3^). NAC and Glutamate: NAC can regulate the glutamatergic system, which is associated with numerous psychiatric disorders^(4^). Reference 1 | Reference 2 | Reference 3 | Reference 4 2. Identifying Potential Migraine Triggers: Finding the underlying cause or trigger of your migraine is paramount^(1^). Some probable triggers include: Stress (80%) Hormonal Changes (65%) Skipped Meals (57%) ... and many more listed above. Additionally, imbalances in melatonin and serotonin levels have been linked to migraines^(2^,3^). Reference 1 | Reference 2 | Reference 3 3. Natural Pain Relievers for Migraine Management: Several natural treatments, like turmeric, fish oil, vitamin B2, magnesium, and butterbur, may aid in providing relief^(1^). Vitamin D: Supplementation can reduce the frequency of attacks in migraine sufferers^(4^,5^). Serotonin (5-HT): Implicated in migraine due to its vasoconstrictor effects and presence in pain-related regions^(3^). Melatonin: Demonstrates potential analgesic effects in various conditions, including migraines^(3^). Reference 1 | Reference 3 | Reference 4 | Reference 5 4. Chiropractic Treatments for Migraines: Studies suggest that chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy (CSMT) may be an effective treatment for migraines^(1^). Reference 1 5. Migraines & Stroke Risks: People with migraine auras have a slightly heightened risk of stroke^(1^). Consistent associations have been made between migraines with aura and increased risk of ischemic stroke^(2^). Reference 1 | Reference 2 As we conclude today's discussion, let's not forget the potential role of Vitamin D3 in migraine management. Once again, for those who are keen on exploring a top-notch Vitamin D3 supplement enriched with K2, consider giving The D by MSW a shot.

It's because most collagen is missing a critical ingredient. And without this “missing link,” collagen WILL NOT WORK. With this "missing link" you can turn loose, saggy skin –– into tight, glowing, younger-looking skin! So what is that missing link I am talking about? VITAMIN C. Of course, you may know Vitamin C as a powerful immune-boosting nutrient... But did you know Vitamin C is a critical nutrient for anti-aging? You see, Vitamin C it's the "glue" that holds collagen together in your body. And if you're low in Vitamin C, well all of that collagen you're taking is pointless. And here's the thing, not all Vitamin C supplements are created equal… If you're taking Vitamin C in capsule or tablet form, you are missing out on key nutrients as they will simply pass through your body without being absorbed (you can thank your stomach acid for that). However, our friends over at Purality Health have a patented formula that utilizes something called ‘MICELLE LIPOSOMAL' technology which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream – proven to be 800% more efficient! So, if your skin is looking older than you... And the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin, and otherwise “old-looking” skin frustrates you… Give Purality Health's Micelle Liposomal Vitamin C a try! It's backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. And today, we have a 30% OFF coupon for you! Just visit puralityhealth.com and use the coupon DRJ to access 30% OFF your purchase today!   This podcast is sponsored by our friends at Paleovalley. And they have a great new product that I've been taking every morning that is called NeuroEffect.    NeuroEffect is an organic blend of 8 different mushrooms that will fuel your brain for all-day concentration, clarity, and enhanced brain function.    I'm a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms – I take them daily to support my immune system and my brain health. But did you know that virtually every mushroom product on the market isn't actually the mushroom? It's the mycelium that they grow on grain. This means they barely contain any of the medicinal compounds that mushrooms have to offer and instead contain up to 50% starch! The grain can cause gut irritation and can interfere with the absorption of the little mushrooms they do have in it.    Paleovalley's NeuroEffect only uses whole mushrooms that are cultivated naturally and organically. They are then tested not once, but twice for quality, guaranteeing you get 2,100 mg of our neuro-supportive REAL mushrooms that have more than 26% beta-glucans ( the medicinal elements of a mushroom) in every serving, without the grains.   Paleovalley has added an organic whole coffee fruit that has been shown in clinical trials to stimulate the production of a protein vital for focus, memory, and clarity. Which means no caffeine jitters, or feeling like you need an afternoon cup of coffee.    Check out Paleovalley's Neuro Effect and use the coupon code 'JOCKERS' at checkout to get 15% off.   It's Q&A time with Dr. Jockers and Melissa Nohr, the director of health coaching for DrJockers.com. We've got all the important letters covered today, from B for Vitamin B6 (commonly overlooked) through to Z for Zinc.    There's info on Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, Magnesium, GABA, binders, and how to do a parasite cleanse. If you're worried you're not recalling your dreams from the night before, Dr. Jockers can share on what you might well be deficient in!   As co-host, Melissa Nohr is a regular contributor to Dr. Jockers' monthly Q&As, and this is a great opportunity to engage in the wellness community, field listener questions, and get a sense of what other people are struggling with (or better yet, coming to terms with), as we all move forward with healthier minds and bodies, the Functional Nutrition way.   So stick around, you might just hear your question answered.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Toni: My son, who is 36 years old is having severe hives and woke up today with a swollen face and lips. He went to the doctor and they gave him a steroid shot and hydroxyzine. They of course did not try to get the the root of the problem. These break outs have been going on with increased severity for three weeks. The rash seems to be deep, starting out as dots and becoming one huge whelp. He did discover that the laundry soap, containing lavender was a major irritant but even after eliminating this, the hives continue to get worse. Thank you in advance for answering this question!   Lori: Hello, I came across your podcast on liver detoxification and found it really enlightening. I located the detox you sell on your website and noticed the high level of vit b-6, which is common in so many supplements. I struggle to understand this phenomenon. The recommended daily amount is between 1-3 mg yet every supplement contains 50mg or more. In Europe the upper limit is 30mg and there have been cases of toxicity reported at low levels. I'd love more information on the consumption of this particular vitamin, as I know it is really important. Thank you!   Summer: Hi Doc! I really like the ayurvedic "diagnostics" =) podcasts! I have found that when I search these charts online that they are all different... Would you be willing to post examples of the most accurate charts you've seen from your experience? I saw there is a chart on the tongue podcast page, but I would love a tongue chart that links up symptoms to visible signs on the tongue, a facial diagnostic chart, and a fingernail chart. Hoping to get some clarity! Thanks for all you do! Summer   Karen: I have a friend that keeps getting cancer, how can I help her get rid of it for good. She is done with chemo and radiation, they are no longer working. Thank you   Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral I have a quick question on your opinion of high Oxalate foods .. I feel I may have an allergy to them so I bought the book Toxic Superfoods by Sally K. Norton and it's making a lot of sense . I also have to stay away from high histamine foods do to MCAS. My ability to eat an assortment of food is becoming smaller and smaller . I have ran the big 5 and removed the allergy foods but I'm sensitive to other foods that did not show up on the allergy test . I love your DNS shake and drink it every morning but I've been noticing I'm still very bloated every day . Im confused on what my body can even tolerate now . The big 5 did not show Candida issues . Should I try removing all high Oxalate foods for a period of time in your opinion ?
