Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Hi ! - Benfotiamine has been proven to be quite helpful with neuropathy Several people on this site who have MS have mentioned taking it regularly with good results. I'm sure you'll get more emails from some of them. Do a search on it and you'll find the studies which have been done on Benfotiamine and neuropathy.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I have diabetic neurapthy from the knees down, it is under contral with Neurontin and LDN neither alone gives this kind of relief for me. I tried to cut down on neurontin at first but the pain came back. I need them both. peace, ZilNever give up, never surrender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Deb, My friend has CIDP (chronic inflamatory demylenating polyneuropathy) and is getting some good results from LDN...don't know if this helps, as I don't know what kind of neuropathy you mean.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I wouldn't expect LDN to do much for neuropathy. My wife has PN from cancer treatments. She takes a whole list of supplements as listed at the link below. Plus she takes an anti-depressant which seems to help. Keep the B6 less than 100 if you try this. elcarnatine and alpha lipoic acid had the greatest impact on my PN from diabetes.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Here is a medical study utilizing a non-drug treatment... " Because pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) safely induce extremely low frequency (ELF) quasirectangular currents that can depolarize, repolarize, and hyperpolarize neurons, it was hypothesized that directing this energy into the sole of one foot could potentially modulate neuropathic pain.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thanks for the info. I've been passing all of the responses that I've received onto our friends and, hopefully, they'll find something that gives them some ideas! Thanks for all of the posts!
