Natural Treatments for Neuropathy:

vit. D3

vitamin E " mild to moderate defective nerve conduction was improved with

high-dose "

vits. B1 (150-450mg) and B6 (100g)

“B vitamins and phosphatidyl choline and serine complexes good for nerve

support, and adequate vit D3 important for pain modulationâ€

curcumin-- 800-1600mg

" capsaicin has been shown to reduce chronic pain by reducing the stimulation of

pain receptors. It is often applied as a cream. Initially, capsaicin may cause a

prickly, hot sensation...once this first phase passes, capsaicin is

effective....reduce the pain associated with diabetic neuropathy "

GLA--900-2700mg; " GLA improves diabetic neuropathy if given long enough to

work...480 mg "

omega 3 (fish or cod liver oil)--4000mg

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)†" “In Germany, alpha-lipoic acid is an approved

medical treatment for peripheral neuropathy…600 mgâ€; “reduce pain

associated with diabetic neuropathy†(Halat KM et al 2003)

methylcobalamin (form of vit. B-12)†" “high dose…on the order of 40mg per

day. They can use less, but generally not less than 20mg if the problem is

serious….use a good multi-B at least once a day….

transdermal magnesium applied to the feet. I like products like magnesium oil

(not an oil but rather a highly concentrated solution on magnesium with other

minerals)â€

Neurogen or Neuragen (essential oils blend) “by Origin Biomed, a company out

of Nova Scotia….at least a 70% efficacy for diabetic neuropathy of feet, legs

and hands, with relief lasting for several hours and after several weeks of

daily use the pain is reduced

permanently. It is not so effective for shingles or sciatica but I got some

improvement of carpal tunnel flare up and it did help with my plantar fasciitis

at night….The US product includes oil of St. 's Wort…[Our store has] a

base of regular customers who have gotten improvementâ€

reflexology†" “I've had wonderful results…with neuropathy - caused by

medication or illness or structural problems in the foot…probably have to be

treated weekly for a bit to see improvement…In the short run I'd suggest he

use a foot roller or ball (my preferred recommendation) to rub his feet on

several times a day. Put the ball on the floor - a tennis or racket ball is

best - and massage his feet for 3 or 4 minutes per foot. When he finds a tender

spot he should spend a bit more time on it until the tenderness lessensâ€

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will def look into these remedies because

even just a little relief would be great if it works. It`s strange to me that

the neuropathy seems to have gotten worse over the past 3 years instead of

better. My oncologist told me that the usual treatments that work for diabetic

neuropathy do not help chemo induced neuropathy. I will let you know how things

go. As with any medication,I`m sure that a blood level will need to be obtained

before it starts to work. Thanks again,
