Neuropathy: What works and what are scams?
I am new to this forum although I have been suffering with peripheral neuropathy for 2 years (none diabetic). Like most sufferers I have searched endlessly to find supplements that provide some relief and a possible cure. My search has proved how impossible this quest is and so expensive due to misleading adverts and down right scams.
What would be really helpful if members posted their experiences with supplements they’ve tried , which were useless/helpful or obvious scams. I am sure there must be some helpful supplements out there and we would all benefit if these were posted on this forum.

Be careful what you choose, you will find a-lot of people on this forum have tried most of the things you will see online or in ads. Be careful most things don’t work.
Check in to Focused Ultrasound Therapy. I am trying to find someplace that is having trials on this. It’s amazing and I believe it would help anyone with Neuropathy. They are doing a lot for Parkinson right now with amazing results.
Check to see if you have any trials in your area.
Good luck

Thank you for your quick reply!😊
Has anyone heard of Nerve Forte to help with the pain and numbness of neuropathy? How about MMP13 enzyme that is suppose to be the root cause of neuropathy? Can't get a good nights rest due to itching and stabbing pains in feet. I have a pair of reflexology shoes that I wear in the evenings and they seem to help some. I am open to suggestions for help. Thank you, Laura Henderson
Welcome Laura @sh0rtie, I'm no expert and have purchased a lot of stuff that was purported to help with neuropathy but hasn't done much to help me personally. It does contain 3 ingredients that have shown to help with neuropathy and it provides a lot of research links but it doesn't provide any clinical trials or test data.
And then there is this at the bottom of their website which screams "buyer beware" to me.
