The article on foot care was very helpful, thank you so much! Why are we not educated about this early on in life? I lived in Hawaii for 11 years and never had any problems with my foot. Now that I am on the mainland and wearing shoes I have problems. I have Morton's Neuroma and am not sure I want to have it handled the way of shots or surgery. Can you do an article on this problem? As I ask around I find that many many people in my community have had this! My sister as well, which is something I never knew! Having surgery is not a permanent fix as the neuroma's can come back. Please please please advise. Has anyone had any success with castor oil treatments?

Thank you again Dr. Mercola. You consciousness is invaluable to our lives.

I have recently developed a numbness in my right foot in the area of the ball of my foot after spending much time at the gym practicing a dance-aerobic. I realize now that I have been lacing my shoes tightly so that may have been contributing to this. After seeing my chiropractor a 2nd time for this, he said I'm in a pre-neuroma state so he recommended some supplementsand icing, explaining that my nerve is swollen and irritated. In an effort to prevent the neuroma from developing, I'm doing everything I can to help. He also suggested I eat a lot of pineapples to help reduce inflammation.
