Hi, I’m new to this group. I have joined to learn about treatments that might have helped people with neuropathy in their feet and legs.
My Mum is a retired Dental surgeon who believes she acquired neuropathy through exposure to mercury in her work.
There is some evidence that some of the neuropathy was acquired through Vit B 6 toxicity.
My Mum has tried various supplements from American companies none of which seem to have helped.
ATM she is fixated on a device NMES Foot Massager sold by Dr Jeremy Campbell. It is sold on the healthyinsightjournal.com website.
Does anyone have any experience with this product ?
Has it been beneficial?
Thanking you in advance
A concerned daughter.

Welcome @schytil, I think it's great that you are helping watchout for your mother as there are a lot of so called miracle cure products on the market for neuropathy with not much science to back them. One of the first devices I tried for my neuropathy was a programmable TENS unit for my feet similar to the Nooro NMES device. I used it for several months and it didn't really help with my neuropathy although I only have numbness and some tingling. You might want to read through the recent reviews on the Better Business Bureau site which aren't very good - https://www.bbb.org/us/il/chicago/profile/health-and-wellness/nooro-inc-0654-1000095147/customer-reviews.

There is some good information on the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy on what helps - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/. Since you mentioned your mother might have acquired neuropathy through Vitamin B6 toxicity, you might want to read what others have shared in this discussion on the topic:

There are many different discussions on what helps neuropathy that you might find helpful. Here is a link showing the search results for Connect - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=what%20helps%20neuropathy.

What has been the most bothersome neuropathy symptom for your mother?
