Neuropathy pills: How to avoid scams?

(85-year old male with PN.) I am quite aware of the many "magic cures" offered on the Internet, made especially attractive by men in white coats proclaiming they have found a cure. However, having just endured the 30-minute hook presentation by a doctor today and seeing numerous positive reviews by people using the product (likely fake), I'm most interested in responses by this forum because we've all been through disappointing "cures". The product is called CAPSAICIN, and the shill boasts that their product, boosted by curcumin, ALA, and root extract, is a cure. Has anyone paid the $35 to try it?

Not sure it's a miracle cure but it may provide some relief with the caveat, probably won't help everyone - This is a description of the drug with it's many names -

Buyer beware goes the saying. Some people tolerate topical creams or liquids well and might help some. I find this type of product to be an irritant and although not the same brand or name only gave me a more intense burning sensation. Snake oils have always been peddled and will continue to be as long as illnesses attack us and we are desperate to find a cure. There is a presentation by the PN foundation on April 9 that hopefully will provide us more info on what is being pursued to help, I hope, on this matter.

Don't fall for it, there is no cure for neuropathy, period. It's the hand we were all dealt unfortunately.
