Raynaud’s Disease
Overview

Raynaud’s Syndrome or Raynaud’s Disease is characterized by constrictive spasms of the smaller vascular system arterioles (small arteries). It most commonly affects the fingers and, at times, can also affect the nose, tongue, and feet.
Types:
When Raynaud’s symptoms develop without any known cause, it is labeled Raynaud’s disease. When these same symptoms occur as a result of other health problems, this is then called Raynaud’s phenomenon and is usually more serious.
The affected areas become white or bluish, are usually accompanied by tingling sensation. At times, the affected areas can also take on a reddish hue and, in rare cases, the walls of the arteries can thicken, permanently obstructing blood flow, causing ulcers, infections, and even gangrene (death of tissue) to form around the fingernails.
Typically, the initial symptoms of Raynaud’s disease are triggered by exposure to cold or because of chronic emotional stress.
Nutritional deficiencies resulting in intolerance to cold and impaired circulation can cause Raynaud’s disease. Smoking is another common cause and can trigger symptoms, as can certain drugs, such as the beta blockers used in blood pressure treatment as well as ergotamine used in migraine treatment. Raynaud’s can also be caused by silicon breast implants.

Eat plenty of organic foods high in vitamin E, such as raw seeds and nuts. Hot vegetable soups, vegetable purees, and fresh, organic vegetables are also recommended. Avoid coffee and alcohol, both of which constrict blood vessels.
It is important to not add further toxicity to your system so try to adhere to the following:
- Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame
- Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.
- Do not drink any carbonated beverages.
- Avoid all fast food restaurants.
- Avoid all canned food.
