I'm doing FULL BODY MEDICAL GRADE FDA CLEARED INFRARED LIGHT sessions 4 x week for 15 min each time plus vibration plate therapy weekly. 3x week. THREE 3-minute sessions each time (per PUBMED study on VIBRATION PLATES for neuropathy pain).
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32507132/
The red light therapy is starting to kick in...can take 6-8 weeks. So far I ONLY use the INFLAMMATION program. And I take COOL CAYENNE daily plus I started R-LIPOIC ACID supplements and Tart Cherry Extract for circulation.

I have many hours and often days now with no pain or pain in the low 1-3 range.
It can be very expensive but I am blessed to live near a LIGHTLOUNGE.LIFE facility in Boulder CO. A single 15 min session is about $90...but if you become a charter member (sign on for 3 month stint at $159/month you can have up to 20 sessions each month making the cost of each session around $8!

It's an ongoing membership that renews afte 3 months - and you can cancel with a 90 day notice. But I won't be cancelling. The modality IS helping and I have the side benefit of having my WHOLE BODY bathed in INFRA RED light - good for the skin and the firming facial skin too. And they're finding new things all the time..even evidence that IRL can trigger regeneration of or repair of damaged nerve endings!

I've only had 18 sessions so far but I feel confident to say that they have made my life a little less painful!

Here's some info about R-LIPOIC ACID (aka R-ALPHA LIPOIC ACID):

R-lipoic acid (RLA) is a powerful antioxidant that may offer a wide range of benefits, particularly for managing conditions related to blood sugar and oxidative stress
. As the biologically active component of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), RLA is considered more effective than the common synthetic ALA found in most supplements.
Key potential benefits

Diabetes and nerve health: RLA is best known for its ability to manage diabetes-related complications.
Improves blood sugar: It can increase insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood glucose levels.
Treats nerve pain: RLA can help alleviate the pain, tingling, and numbness associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy by improving nerve blood flow and conduction velocity.
Brain function: RLA is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, offering neuroprotective effects that benefit overall brain health.
Combats oxidative stress: It protects the brain from oxidative stress and can increase levels of beneficial neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.
Neurodegenerative diseases: Studies show it may help slow cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer's disease and shows promise for other neurological conditions.
Cardiovascular health: RLA may promote heart and blood vessel health.
Improves endothelial function: It supports the function of the blood vessel lining.
Lowers blood lipids: Research indicates that it can help reduce blood glucose and lipid levels.
Skin health: When applied topically, RLA offers multiple benefits for the skin.
Powerful antioxidant: Protects against oxidative damage that causes signs of aging.
Reduces inflammation: Its anti-inflammatory properties can help with skin conditions like rosacea.
Improves texture and appearance: It may improve overall skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Weight management: RLA can assist with weight loss, particularly when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
Increases metabolism: It boosts metabolism and increases insulin sensitivity, which aids in fat metabolism.
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory: RLA is a powerful antioxidant that combats free radicals and can regenerate other important antioxidants in the body, such as vitamins C and E. It also reduces inflammation throughout the body.
Chelation therapy: RLA can bind to and help remove heavy metals from the body.

Potential side effects
While RLA is generally well-tolerated, some side effects may occur, especially at higher doses. These include:

Stomach upset, including heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea
Dizziness and headaches
Skin rash
Unusual urine smell
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which is especially important for people with diabetes to monitor.

I've only been taking it for about a week. So far no stomach upset or any of the other side effects.
