I have the cure for Raynauds

I have also tried Cialis (5mg/day)..it is a blood flow improver, (usually for other uses) also no result.

has anyone tried L-Argening? It is an amino acid, commonly marketed to those involved with weight lifting and heavy aerobic exercise, but is also marketed for cardiovascular health. The claim is that it dilates blood vessels so that blood can more freely flow. I'm going to try it, but wanted to see if anyone else had tried it.

one more item… I tried Aggrenox several years ago. It worked about 1 out of every 3-4 times. The first time I took it, it was like a miracle- I had a Raynauds attack and I took a pill and it went away about 15-20 minutes later with no side effects. The next 2-3 times I took it, there was no benefit and nothing but side effects (sore joints). I stopped because the benefits were too infrequent considering the side effects.

I have suffered from Raynaud's for about 3 years and it seems to have got progressively worse each year.

I have had depression on and off for years. Last November was particularly bad for me. I am nearly 45, and along with the Raynaud's, I have painful wrists which is probably arthritis and various stresses at home. It suddenly hit me that I was getting old!. To cut a long story short, my doctor prescribed me Citalopram, for my depression, I also thought I would try an anti ageing product, something i have never considered before, more out of desperation! Boots had a 3 for 2 on 'Fountain - the Beauty Molecule' (the red one containing Resveratrol) so I bought some not really expecting it to have any effect on my skin. Anyway... About 2 weeks after taking it I suddenly realised that my Raynaud's had reduced considerable, I felt like a minor miracle had happened. I can't find anything online to suggest that Citalopram might help reduce the symptoms of Raynaud's but I have seen reports that Resveratrol may do. I was wondering if anyone else had tried resveratrol as a remedy and had similar results.

Hi, I have looked up Resveratrol, My preference is to use the red grape extract (preferably as red wine). Ethanol is a good vasodilator. (at least that is my story, and I an sticking to it). To 'Daisydee23" I have had severe stress for the last 10 years, and this may contribute to it. Your joint pain could be Gout (treatment with Allopurinol.) Over time, my problem with the cold started at the usual 61 Deg F ( 11C), and has lost about 1+ degree a year. ..progressively. ..now over 80 F. Strangely my high temperature tolerance (where I feel too warm) is still about 85 F (with a fan) so I don't have much time left. I am still willing to try (almost) anything. Thanks.

I am very interested in the information posted by sophia10. I made a note of the three remedies you mentioned - Butchers Broom, Odorless Garlic and Ghinko biloba. None of these appear to be available in homeopathic form. Can you tell me what dosages you are taking and in what form? I am going to search them out at our local herbal and natural remedies store to see what I can find, but it would be very helpful to know how you are taking them.

My Raynauds has been acting up BIG TIME in the past few months, and I see where stress can increase the frequency of attacks as well as temperature variations and hand intense tasks. I would love to try something to relieve this annoying disease.

Thanks

Weezbo: Good luck with the Butchers Broom, Odorless Garlic and Ghinko! I've been there BIG time over 4 months with no result! I did spend quite a stack of money though! Also took cayenne capsuels, fishoil (still do) vitamin D3 105 microgram (still do)

I really hoped for it to have results (im quite an organic type) but in the end i just had to throw in the towel!

So if you should come to the same conclusion after trying, DONT hesitate to try it the doctors way with Nifediphine it just keep working every day with (in my case) no side effects. had only a week of light headache but it disapeared. Just be sure to get your doctor to check your blood pressure as it might be affected.

Best of luck getting rid of this frustrating disease

Sorry for the bad gramma and spelling guys

I have been using the Odorless Garlic and the Ginko Biloba and it has helped somewhat-this year is the

Worst I have had in awhile for Reynaulds and as I said the Garlic & ginko has helped- my hands don't seem to get as white but the pain seems greater. I almost give up but we have also had unusually cold weather -

Oh well...... good luck! Patty

Hi Patty

It HAS seemed worse this year, and we too (in Canada) have been experiencing more cold than usual. I did some looking up on the disease and it seems that these days there is much more information available than in previous times. Hope yours gets better. Have you thought about trying the Butchers Broom as well as the other two remedies?

Best

I have used Vivix made by Shaklee for about a year now, and I have noticed a huge change in my raynauds. Vivix contains Resveratrol. It's been a brutal winter this season, and my fingers have gotten cold, but I haven't had an attack. I take a teaspoon a day of it.

Hi kell33793,

Thats interesting!

I was away on holiday last week and didn't take my resveratrol product with me, I went somewhere hot so my Raynauds wasn't a problem. On returning home to the cold I have had an attack every time I've gone outside. I am convinced resveratrol works. On resveratrol I notice the same as you, my fingers get cold but I don't have an attack. Back on it now, just hope it starts working again soon!

Hi Kell33793 and Daisydee23

That's notable about Reservatrol. I just did some reading up on it and although nothing was mentioned about Raynauds they mentioned other possible benefits. (They also stressed that nothing is proven yet. Being cautious I guess.)

I would say from what the two of you are reporting that the product IS having a beneficial effect on Raynauds. I plan to give it a try. ;-)

I shall report back after testing.

It's been a year since your post.  Does it still work?  I live in FL, USA and air conditioning kills me.
