@moorethrpy - That's really interesting about the prescribed B compound! I hadn't thought about the interaction issue with other supplements. That makes a lot of sense why it needs to be carefully formulated.

I'm definitely going to ask my neurologist about getting my B vitamin levels tested. The presentation I found actually talked about how most people with neuropathy have multiple deficiencies, not just one, and how the vitamins need to be in the right ratios to work properly.

It's fascinating how much the nutritional approach is overlooked by most doctors. The research I've been reading suggests that nerve regeneration is actually possible with the right combination of nutrients, but it has to be done correctly.

@lorry - Your point about B6 toxicity is so important! That's exactly why I'm being cautious and want to get tested first. The presentation I watched emphasized getting proper testing before starting any protocol.

Has anyone here had success with a comprehensive nutritional approach? I'm curious if anyone has tried a complete nerve support protocol rather than just individual vitamins.

I had all my B levels, plus D, plus thyroid, plus sugar. Then the usual full blood scan (liver function etc). Unless you get a low result on any test, stop (repeat stop) taking any supplements. Gentle exercise. Lots of water. Healthy balanced diet. Cut back sugar and alcohol (cut out if you can). Six months. Test again.
Supplements are a big part of the problem because deficiency and toxicity have the same symptoms.
Supplements are a poorly monitored multi billion dollar industry that disguise advertisements as therapy.
Living in a first world country, with access to a healthy balanced diet, we do not need supplements.
You are going to read a lot more about this in the future. This is the new tobacco industry claiming their product doesn’t harm you. There is a lot of money at stake (selling chemical vitamins).
There is currently a class action against Blackmores.
