Blueprint to Neuropathy?

I also paid the $8000 to a chiropractor and at 90 days had the same improvement - and then improvement stopped. Found I could have bought the whole kit of products and tens unit for significantly a lot less. Chiropractors have turned to blueprint because it sure beats having to work as much for a lot more profit. Hint for those who do not yet have neuropathy: Stop wearing socks or only those that do not leave a tight or any ring around your calf or ankle at the end of the day which means restricting circulation return. If blood stagnates in the veins, arterial flow with Oxygen is not getting to your feet.

Well I tried a local chiropractor who suddenly got into Blueprint and said it was the Cat's Meow. For $8000, you get weekly treatments for two months of low back adjustments (about two minutes), magnetic pulse sitting treatment of your back for 20 minutes while sitting with your feet on a vibrator, then 20 minutes of magnetic pulse on your feet for 20 minutes, then sitting with your feet on a red light pad. In addition, you get the full Blueprint package of gut cleanout products, proteins and supplements and the tens unit to use on your feet while soaking them twice a day for 20 minutes. After 90 days, it seems like everyone feels that they are seeing some improvement (mental success of spending $8k?), which now becomes "success" advertising for the chiropractor. But as time marches on and you are doing the shake drinks and feet submersion tens units, you realize that your foot neuropathy is not improving, but continuing to get worse. I have only guesses at what causes PN of the feet. I am basically healthy male (78) not on any prescriptions with lumbar fusion. My big ones are circulation and lumbar disk compression. When we were kids our socks fell down all the time. Now socks are like tournequets which certainly seems to be blocking return flow. Blocking return vein flow seems to cause the valves in your leg veins to fail, further pooling blood, in your lower legs, further reducing circulation. I am ready to see a vein doctor. Friends have said that compression socks from the knees down have helped, so I am trying them now. Vein dilation surgery is covered by medicare if you wear compression socks for four weeks. I have been taking lots of supplements including R-ALA, magnesium, curcumin, etc. I feel healthier, but PN is still there. The only thing that actually seems to help and makes me forget my PN is staying active and staying on my feet and moving. And I sleep with a water bottle near my feet, but not on them. I am on Nextdoor and occasionally reach out on the PN topic for success stories. Don't hear many except maybe one or two that are taking the same supplements as I do. I have gotten no feedback that BluePrint actually works - other than putting another's children through college.

@cayman44 Yes, Blueprint is indeed the cat's meow...for the chiropractor. I am at the point now that whenever I see a "treatment" for neuropathy offered by a chiropractor I immediately run the other way. All I can say is "shame on all you people" hawking these treatments. Feeding on the pain and suffering of those looking for hope. I really don't understand how you can sleep at night.

There's a reason that chiropractors aren't considered medical professionals, because they're not licensed to prescribe drugs or even give patients injections. They don't have the same training as an MD or even a RN. I wouldn't let one of them touch me, period. And now they're scamming people like us(chronic pain suffers) with something called a blueprint to neuropathy?
Unless it's something my doctors recommend, I wouldn't do it. Screw these guys.

@johnbishop Apparently the foundationforpn.org has taken down that document. All they do is ask for donations.

@cayman44 - Thanks for letting me know. The link in my previous post has been fixed. The website was updated and the supplements information is now here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/vitamins-and-supplements-for-nerve-health/.

I went to “inate” chiropractic which offers the blueprint system I spent $8000 and the only thing that I think worked or at least was helpful was their supplements which, of course you can only get if you buy into their program. Well I have to say I don’t think I really got any results although I do understand their theory increasing blood flow but it’s certainly not a cure and by the way the chiropractic facility was basically a turn and burn situation never the same chiropractor never more than two minutes. Don’t buy into blueprint. Don’t dismiss the benefit of a chiropractor as long as you find the right one.

In regard to these chiropractic "treatments" for neuropathy, pain, etc. Do your due diligence. Go online and SEARCH. Especially these type of things like Blueprint that cost an arm and a leg. Look for reviews by recognized organizations. Stay away from Amazon reviews. I have heard that many positive reviews are phony. A legitimate product should have a fair amount of positive reviews. Every product will have some negative reviews but that is to be expected. Please save yourself pain and money...please.

@mike1041. Hello Mike. Did you continue with treatment and did you have continued improvement after 90 days?

well, yes.....and no.
Yes, I have continued to see improvement in the form of less tingling and numbness in my feet. Now, my numbness is primarily in my toes, where before if was most of the ball of my foot and forward. I'm continuing to use the red-light therapy "boot" and the "rebuilder" nerve stimulation every morning, and again in the evenings when I can. (for the first 90 days I used them twice a day EVERY day). I can tell a difference if I miss a day or 2, so I don't!

No, because I'm no longer taking the supplements that were provided in the "blueprint" kit. the cost to replenish them was, just, silly.
I am taking a magnesium supplement, and turmeric in their place. (I eat alot of fruits and veggies, but always have)

Most importantly is that, in place of their "neuro-soothe", I am using the "moma bear" ointment/cream on my feet twice a day (at about 1/3 the cost) and it really makes my feet feel better.

thanks for asking!
