Blueprint to Neuropathy?

Posted by hossie @hossie, Apr 22, 2024

Has anyone tried Blueprint to Nueropathy? Apparently it is a treatment approach that is being used by many chiropractors. It's long in duration and not cheap. I am not looking for a silver bullet, just some improvement in my feet. Thanks.

Yes. I paid a chiropractor in Bellingham, Washington about $9000 in January for a 12 week program. They claimed a 97% success rate. The doctor, as well as others in the clinic were very pleasant and helpful. However, it was all consuming. About 4 hours per day at home of anodyne light treatments, Rebuilder TENS foot baths, a completely different diet consisting only of fruits, vegatables and most meats, many supplements that they provided and twice weekly visits to the clinic with the chiropractor or for red light therapy and foot vibrations. After 3 months I was devastated to find no improvement in my neuropathy. I did everything asked of me religiously. My neuropathy was fairly mild. Yet they claimed I was in the 3 percent that didn't respond to the treatment. I became quite depressed and anxious for a month after processing my anger. Feeling I had been scammed. Today I went to a neurologist. A real doctor of neurology and a specialist. He told me it had to be a scam since none of the treatments I received would bring relief. I am now on 100 mg of Pregabalin per day. After only three days of the drug the pins and needles have been reduced by about 75%. Apparently it takes up to a month for the drug to take affect, but the doctor is absolutely convinced that it will take care of most of my discomfort, although my feet will always be numb on the bottom. People in pain are desperate, and we will try desperate measures. I also watched all of the testimonials on the chiropractor's website. They seemed authentic But admittedly, I should have been sceptical about any reviews on the chiropractors website. They could well be biased. In any case, I am moving on and I would recommend anyone considering these treatments not to let them get your hopes up too high. You will be poorer and Things will seem even more hopeless if it should turn out to be completely ineffective. Not to mention feeling relatively stupid for falling for the whole thing. My wife was sceptical the entire time, but she stuck with me because she loves me. It will require an entire change of life style for your spouse as well for the duration of the treatments. The program is called Blueprint for Neuropathy. This is the second time I've tried an alternative treatment with American chiropractor. The doctor I went to was a very good chiropractor. However, when a Chiropractor offers treatments for any condition outside of their area of expertise, such as spinal adjustments, I would be very skeptical. I hope this helps.

I agree with you. The only benefit I received from my $6000 scam with Blue Print was a $1600 tens machine consisting of a water bucket for your feet and hands. I spent 6 hours a day for a months going through that therapy for month until 2 Doctors and Cleveland Clinic told me I had been scammed. I hate that the chiropractors are taking advsntage of people who can’t afford it, and with no relieve in sight. I ha e no idea how they can say they have 97% success!

I think I posted this before I went to an eight chiropractic. They prescribed the blueprint therapy to me. I believe their supplements are very helpful but I certainly don’t believe it was worth the $10,000. I invested into the program plain and simple

I think that if you see the words "neuropathy" and "chiropractor" in the same paragraph, you should start running, as fast as you can...

I hear you...loud and clear. I'm sure they have a million excuses why their product(s) didn't work for you, or me.

First these people hurt and cannot function, then they rob them of their livelihood.

Howdy y'all....new guy here.
I'm glad I didn't find this forum and thread before I went and and got evaluated and ultimately, started the Blueprint program. Why? Well, because it is working for me.
I was skeptical of course, but the numbness and pain I was experiencing made me somewhat willing to try anything to get relief. I was evaluated (pretty extensive testing, which seemed mostly objective to me), at 45-50% nerve damage/loss. They were very clear in that PN could NOT be cured, but could be reversed...to an extent.
I decided that it was worth a try, as I won't take the drugs that my primary care physician recommended.
I paid about $8k. I started the program about 100 days ago, and just had my 90 day re-evaluation. I am now rated at 32-35%. I have way less numbness and tingling in my feet, and they no longer hurt when I wake up. I am ticklish again....my feet were completely numb when I started. The real "tell" for me is the thermal images (indicating bloodflow) that were taken before, and after 90 days. Now, just to be sure they weren't "fudging" the thermal images, I took my own. I happen to have a IR camera that I used for work. I compared theirs and mine, and they are essentially the same. I definitely have better bloodflow in my feet.
So, I'm going to stay on it...however, I am looking for other sources for the supplements.
thanks for reading, just wanted to let people know that there is hope! While it may not work for some, it does for others.....not a cure, but improvement in the symptoms is possible!

Welcome @mike1041, Glad to hear that the treatment has helped you. It does give credence to what a lot of us have found out by trial and error - no one treatment works for everyone with neuropathy. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a good list of supplements here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/vitamins-and-supplements-for-nerve-health/.

There are also quite a few different discussions on supplements for neuropathy if you would like to scan through them - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=Supplements%20for%20neuropathy.
