Hey guys, I was just curious as to why eating too many cinnamon sticks end up giving me neuropathy im limbs, an hour or so after.

Note that those are pure organic cinnamon stick.. and the neuropathy occurs when I eat 4 or + sticks.

Is that a flare, a herx, something else?

It feels more like an annoying numbness/tiggling.
What people seem to refer to as « neuropathy ».
It manifest mostly in knees, legs and hands.

Herx, I take cinnamon sometimes. It kills germs and other things as well. Possibly funguses and viruses etc...

Cinnamon is high in polyphenols which does stuff with copper. Copper plays a large role in nerve doings. Its a stretch but worth nothing if other foods high in polyphenols cause problems. Although some studies show polyphenols helping with nerve issues.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.

No, I am not on Disulfiram, and never have been.
I’m on the Babesia pulse protocol of Dr. J.

This thing happen systematically when I eat lots of sticks.. so I don’t think it could be a coincidence.

And yeah I know I’m a bit weird.. I like chewing/eating on those sticks not just for their taste.. but I find that they cut my craving for more food. ;-)

I would tend to also believe that it’s either something that trigger inflammation of the nerves or kill germs but for some reason... I’m skeptical about these sticks to have a such properties vs lyme... too good to be true?

Cinnamon is an inflammatory spice, which releases cytokines in the immune system of many people. For some reason it’s never talked about but most people just use cinnamon lightly so that’s probably why. It was one of my top five things to avoid at all times on my LEAP mediator response food test. this test is no joke for those who have never heard of it.
