Re carpal tunnel syndrome. I used to have it, would wake up with numb hands and fingers. A combination of Chinese meditation balls - you roll them round in your hand and they do a sort of acu-pressure - and taking huge amounts of magnesium has got rid of about 98% of it. I didn't need to rest or have an operation.
The meditation balls were used deliberately for the carpal tunne. The magnesium was taken for another reason, but has cleared up heart flutters, restless legs syndrome and sleep problems as well. I just don't seem able to retain magnesium in my body and if I take it four times a day, I'm fine. If I don't take it, the problems creep back.
It's a lot easier than having operations!
