Well, without getting too technical, it's a condition where you have too much acid going on in your legs. Okay, lactic acid. And that is coming from your diets. You're consuming too many carbs and sugar and you're severely lacking vitamin B1.

1:00And so now what's happening is you're getting a combination of acidity and lack of oxygen, hypoxia. Okay, and your legs are going to be very, very restless. You're going to feel very uncomfortable in the legs, especially at night. I had this condition for quite some years. I would literally get up in the middle of the night and have to pound my legs because they were so full of energy and I had to go running. I was running in the middle of the night to try to get this energy out because they were restless. Okay, they would not let me sleep. Little did I know that pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream every night for probably over a year caused this condition, not to mention the other carbs I was consuming. The more carbohydrate and sugar that you eat, the more B1 that you need to metabolize it. Okay? And so that's the underlying cause. It's a B1 deficiency causing this because the diet's too high in carbohydrate. Number two, pinch nerf. Okay, now of course being a car pratcher,

2:01I've dealt with this a lot. You can have cytokapane. You can have some nerve root pinched on one side that goes right down the leg that's not necessarily cytokia. It's just a different nerve. You have to realize the cytokia is a very big nerve. It's like the width of my thumb goes in the back part of your leg all the way down to the foot. And if there's some type of pinching, whether it is arthritis, a bone out of place, a disc, that could be one of the causes in which you'd want to go to a competent car pratcher to get it checked out. I have some videos on cytokub. The key with cytokia is keeping the lower back curve in. So you need a little cushion when you sit down and to keep that curve going inward. Because when you lose the curve, you start getting more compression and that can pinch the nerves right there. And of course with arthritis, if you're consuming a lot of omega-6 fatty acids, the soy oil, the corn oil, the canola, those type of things, as well as refined carbs, you're going to be in a constant inflamed state

3:03that's going to keep the nerve pinched regardless of what type of treatment that you get. Number three, obstruction in your arteries, okay, in the legs. And so one form of this obstruction or blockage is called intermittent cladication. So intermittent means it comes and goes. So let's say you start exercising and your legs start going numb or they get cold or they get weak. That could be coming from this obstruction in your arteries and it's called intermittent cladication. Also the circulation. President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. Then your legs decreases to the point

4:05where you lose the hair and your legs. The skin on your legs becomes shiny. But typically this is worse with activity, especially if you're going up a hill, okay? Your legs just don't have the oxygen to move. So you're not going to be a very fast runner. All right, number four, low vitamin D, which is behind growing pains. Now, a lot of teenagers experience growing pains, right? Well, it has really nothing to do with their growing, okay? It has to do with a vitamin D deficiency. If you give a little vitamin D, boom, completely goes away. And they usually get this at night, okay? In the middle of the night for a few hours and then it gets better worse. And it can be like a cramping in their calves or it can be in the quads. Now, vitamin D is really important in preventing inflammation and pain in your lower back. So if you're deficient, you can have a lot of lumbar problems in the lower back as well as pelvic problems

5:05that can affect your ability to walk. It can even, if you're really deficient as an infant, it can cause distortion of the spine. It can affect the curb of the spine. It can affect scoliosis. And this creates all sorts of problems with movement and motions because the muscles are connected to the bones. And so I think most people would be very surprised how common this is with leg pain, not just lower back pain, but leg pain. So as a, if you're confused what's going on and you have leg pain, just start taking about 40,000 I use of vitamin D. And within probably a day, you're going to find that that leg pain eases up tremendously. Number five, diabetes. Now why would you have leg pain with diabetes? There's a condition called peripheral neuropathy. Okay, so this is nerve damage caused because of the vascular component. The capillaries get damaged and they can't feed the nerves. Okay, in your feet, it can be their feet pain or leg pain.

6:07And then it spreads into the hands and arms. It's called peripheral because those are the peripheral parts of your body. Okay, now it's interesting about this one is the remedy for this. Is actually the same as for number one. Well, actually, it's also the same for this one to obstruction in your artery because if there's a some type of arterial sclerosis or clot or plucking, that's usually too many carbs, right? So too many carbs for sugar, too much carb or sugar, too much carb or sugar. The remedy for this is vitamin B1, but you'd want to give it in a form that goes into the fat tissue, like the myelin sheath, which is the outer part of the nerve. So you want to give a person something called benfo to me. Okay, benfo to me. With this one, you can give them just the water cycle B1. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

I like nutritional yeast, but ultimately the correction of this is getting rid of the carbs, and you can actually make a person feel better by just taking B1 and of course the same remedy for this, too. All right, number six, flat feet. Now, if your foundation is not supporting the whole body with the correct arch, well, that can throw off your knees, it can throw off your hips, it can cause some serious, serious leg pain. I'm speaking from experience, I had flat feet. My whole life, I used arch supports, didn't really work. In fact, it made things worse. It wasn't until I got rid of those and started working on strengthening exercises and stretches that I got relief with this.

8:09Now, I wear these completely flat sole shoes, they're called the Barefoot Shoes, and they're great. They force your toes and your feet to actually strengthen the muscles, and it's the best thing ever. And of course, this one is tied in with a vitamin D deficiency probably early on. Okay, number seven, tight so-as in quads. I had this problem as well for many years, from riding a bike. So you're doing this one motion over and over and you're strengthening your quads and you're so-as, and then when you stand up, this is too tight, and that's going to throw off your back, and that's going to refer pain down to the legs. So we take a look at this so far, I had this one, this one, this one, almost had this one, but not quite. I had it, I was pretty diabetic. This one right here, and this one. So I'm talking from experience, but if we add number eight, I've also had old injuries, and I'm talking to your ankle, okay? So let's say, for example, you sprained your ankle or broke your ankle. On one side,

9:09you're going to lip, you're going to put the pressure on the opposite side. So you're going to walk a little bit differently, you're going to adapt to that, and then one, two, three years down the road. What's going to happen is you're going to notice leg pain or ankle pain or knee pain or back pain. That's just because your gait has been compensating. I have a really good video on this. I'm going to put it down below, and I also have a very good video on this one too, to how to reverse this right here. But this can definitely be a cause. In fact, you just want to ask yourself, have you ever had any ankle injuries, foot injuries, knee injuries, okay? Have you ever fallen your tailbone? Those can come back to haunt you if you don't know how to fix them. And I'm going to put some videos down on how to fix them. Number nine, deep vein thrombosis. So this is a little different than the artery problem right here, but you can have an obstruction in the veins as well, coming from the same root cause. Because there's an actual clot that's blocking blood flow. And that's definitely going to cause leg pain.

10:11All right, 10, overtraining. So many people exercise way too often, not letting their legs rest and recover and they end up having soreness. And then the exercise over soreness and the exercise over soreness. And they're just not... Sierra has all the best active and outdoor brands you need.

If this person gave themselves like a week or maybe even two weeks of rest, and then just noticed how much better their muscles feel because they allowed it to rest,

11:12they would really get it. But they're just so used to this. You have to exercise every day, you know? There's a couple of points about weak muscles and nutrition. If you're low in vitamin E, your muscles will be a bit weak, okay? And you should even test that. If you ever feel kind of weak sometimes, takes in vitamin E, weighed about an hour, and to see how much stronger you feel, okay, when you walk and exercise. Low sodium or low salt, especially when you're doing fasting, can make your muscles weak. It's another cause. Now, low omega-3 will increase the time of soreness. So this person that does training should increase their omega-3 to decrease soreness and increase recovery. All right, number 11, stenosis. What is that? Well, you have the spinal column, okay? And then you have the spinal cord in the spinal column. There is just not enough space for the spinal cord. And so there's obstruction on the spinal cord. And that can definitely cause leg pain, okay?

12:16So that can come from either the ligaments around the spinal column being too thick. You can come from arthritis or sparing, okay? Right next to the joints. Or it can also come from just inflammation that just won't allow the space to open up. So with this right here, I would highly recommend you work on getting the curve back on your lower back first, okay? I'll put the videos down below. Getting rid of the refined carbs and sugar. Taking things like vitamin K2 to help maybe possibly remove some calcium. And if you tried everything and nothing's worked, there's a really great non-invasive surgery that my mother did that was very effective and trim that thickened ligament and take out these little osteophytes and sparing. I mean, the whole that they go through is like a very small hole and they cover it up with a bandaid. It's not a major laminectomy where they're doing all sorts of invasive type work.

13:18Because here's the problem. When you do surgery, the scar tissue after the surgery is sometimes worse than the actual before the surgery. So I'll write down that procedure down below. But there is a point where people need surgery. All right. So for the next video that you should watch, it should be this one right here for the tights. So as I put it up right here, check it out.
