What Causes It?

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of Diseased Blood Vessels blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may cause the nerves to degenerate. Nerves Shrivel when As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these Figure 1 nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

Drug Free Treatment Method

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals 1

Increase Blow flow 2

Stimulate small fiber nerves 3

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to

grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal

and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient

In Memory of Steven Edward Peerman

Born 9/14/71 Sacramento, California Died 8/26/21 Whitefish, Montana

On this date the world lost a wonderful man, the best son, father and friend. We feel blessed to have had a son who was our best friend, never once had an argument with him, talked to him almost everyday.

Steve intensely loved his family. Brandi, his wife of 20 years is a world class chef. Bailey, 17, is an exceptional photographer, and she helped run their restaurant since 15 years old. Malakai (Mac), 14, builds utility sheds and does very well, but his true talent is playing the piano. Havana, 10, already produces artwork that she sells. Eli, at 3, can talk at length with adults just like his dad did.

Steve leaves his parents Dale and Connie and brother Shad, 6 nephews, 2 nieces, 5 aunts, 1 uncle, plus their mates and children, 22 1st cousins and many 2nd and 3rd ones.

Steve’s parents recently spent 6 weeks in Whitefish, Montana. Steve, Dale and Mac, worked 12 hours a day doing farm chores, cut 4 cords of wood, poured concrete pad for a garage, planted an orchard and a garden, and laid sod for a lawn. They spent hours weed eating, put a beam up in the kitchen and a wall for the entertainment center. This was a labor of love for our beloved Montana family. We know Steve wasn’t feeling up to par, but had no idea of the horror to shortly come.

We never knew something could hurt this much, and you still get up each day. A card we received said it best, “How can ordinary things take place when nothing will ever be the same again. It doesn’t make sense that the world keeps spinning when everything around you has fallen apart. We will keep ourselves in memories and do whatever it takes until the world makes sense again.”

This will come when God’s government rules instead of Satan’s. 1 John 5:19, “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.”

Steve believed this promise, and the one in Revelation 21:4, that God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

Jehovah God gave His son, Jesus, so that we might live again. In Acts 24:15, it promises, “There is going to be a resurrection.”

Covid-19 has made it unsafe to gather in groups. Until that changes, this announcement is our way of letting all who knew Steve know that he was a special man, who was kind to all.

Family, friends and strangers have grieved with us and have prayed for some kind of closure to this tragedy. THAnk yOU All.

A special thanks goes to Erick Henry, a dear friend who was there for Steve during the good times and bad.

An enormous thank you to Glen Ditton. He helped Steve for 3 years as a handyman. Glen came to love Steve and his family. He has cried buckets of tears with us. Glen was a loyal and true friend.

Our hope is to see Steve again soon in the paradise over earth.

We love you so much, Dad, Mom, Shad, family and friends.

Steve died of a very rare and fatal disease called, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. His doctor at the University of Washington, has had only 4 patients—all male— with this illness. The only thing they had in common was deer hunting. Since so little is known about how this is acquired, we want to alert hunters to be aware of a wasting disease in the deer population. We felt the need to pass this caution on. It truly is one of the worst ways to die.
