Well, mine isn't a definite "no".
I usually tackle a problem, especially a health issue from multi angles (not one at a time.
So, if I know of 5 remedies, I will start all 5 at the same time. For instance, if one has high eye pressures..doing intensive exercise for 30 minutes may help 20%, high dose powdered vitamin C may help 15%, relaxed therapeutic imaging may help 10%, deep breathing and 20 minutes of deep breathing mindfulness 15 %, homeopathic medicines may help another 15%. And my body's own healing piers could take it from there and do the rest for me. I think the remedies are in a pie shape with each remedies a wedge of the pie, not the whole pie.
Also, I try not to include pain relievers in there as usually they aren't remedies, they mask the pain and are sometimes are harmful as well.
**the percentages are guessed at and only to give you an idea of the concept.
So for Neuropathy remedies you could estimate how much, for example red light therapy would work or magnesium cream or? I guess it doesn't matter the percentages but starting them all at once. I did this back in 2020 for Peripheral neuropathy and 1 year later I was much better.
I am looking at doing it again as 5 years later I'm having symptoms again.

Looking over the various creams and ointments, I have seen some recommend capsaicin, 0.1%. I ordered a product called Capzasem. I have applied it to my feet a few times. The only thing I notice is an intense burning feeling that follows me into the bedroom. When I applied it to the back of my thighs, the same feeling occurred. Then, after going to bed, I noticed that the back of my thighs felt like they were on a really hot surface. When I turned on my side, the feeling intensified to the point where I had to turn back on my back. That feeling of being really hot was a bit more tolerable. By early morning, in both instances, the feeling of burning or extreme heat dissipated. Anyone else ever experience this? Possible allergic side effect?
@heisenberg34 that sounds like a normal response to any product containing capsian . It works differently on different people. The hot sensation- to me- was no better than my regular conditioner. It does not heal. Only alleviates symptoms. I prefer cooling products.
@casd57 Quiet river here I had been border Line diabetic since 1972. However: I still like my cookies cake and candy alot. I found the Apple cider Vingar can cure 2 dibeatus in six weeks if you follow their pla. That is 2 tbls of Acv and 4. oz water and drinking 2 oz 30 minuets before each meal lowers your blood sugar. But you have to leave the sugars alone. Thats My big down fall I give all my sweets for a few weeks and back at them again and maybe the reason I have Neurophy.
@quietriver I have also been a borderline diabetic for years. I have recently started on the plant based diet 6 weeks ago after reading "The China Study", published in 2016 by researchers Colin Campbell. He is 91 years old and still contributing to his company that promotes the Whole-Foods-Plant-Based way of eating. I am amazed how my cravings have vanished when I get all the nutrients your body needs. I eat a much more varied foods now and enjoy my food more. I don't need to lose weight, but with eating a LOT, I have lost 3 pounds and look more trim. I don't want to lose more so I'm including more whole grains and brown/wild rice rice. I have bought a cookbook they produce and another low fat, but I'm getting good at adapting recipes
Their website gives a lot of free support.
@casd57
One last time....
For me what is a trigger is Sugar!...Chocolate..etc.,
And no I don't have diabetes ..my glucose runs around 80-90
But you let me a bag of gummy bears and I'm in pain...my walking time is shortened and I have night pain(sleeping)
So watch your sugar..
@casd57 I believe many of us have that problem. Chocklet, cookiies ,pie cake, candy. If your are like me and want to eat what isn't good for you. you need to find something that will conteract the excess sugar you eat. I found mine in Apple cider Vinegar. But I found I also have to cut back on the sweets. I decided half and hald should work. So I cut my sweets intake by 1/2 then I increased my ACV intake by 1/2 hy 1/2 half I drink Acv 4 times a day and eat about half less chrewing it longer so the ole body thinks it is getting the same amount . Seems to work great fo me and now I even can go with out my sweets for a few days.

@heisenberg34 one of the things about Blue Emu is I has never gotten hot and even with three pain killers iin it and after a few minets I don't even feel it. I take two tyneol with it and feel great all night. Most creans and ointments I found were to hot and I stopped using them because of it. An old farmer and a friend told me about it He had arthursis very badly used it every evening and you would't even know he suffered at all. But he also believed like me don't think about it all the time and there's times where you forget it for a Bit. I have never had an aerobic reaction to it.

Most time several ot eight out of ten sometimes ten out of ten. it veries as now I don't wait until it is almost a disability, the sooner you can stop it the better. I have a high pain tolerance and when I crushed my wriste at about 9-ten years old. I lived with it and considered it about 4-5 level started using it the very next day to carry 5 Gal of fuel oil three miles home from town in that hand with no bones attaching it to the arm. I did this every day for three months before my parents even knew it was crushed. what is 8-10 for some for me it would be 5-6. Like every thing every person is different. I had a friend elder man in his 70 farmer thowing 200 pound bails of hay every day with sever Aurthertis He told me about blue as he had to use it every evening because of the pain I played cards with him twice a week for a year and never suspected he had that much pain. I had done something dumb like all us fellers do and was hurting and he told me about it. since then I have goten many people to try it and most found it worked great. Only two females disagree with me of over 100 and that is fine. Some thing that work for me dosen't work for someone else. Usally because they won't even give it a chance anf then we all have different pain thresholds. After researching it I found Blue has three different pain killers besides the emu in it that is why I tried it. for me it works great. but Now I use it mostly on my feet and hands for neurophy It works good and by interchanging it with Vicks Vapor rub it along with whe excersizes I do has make a big difference in my life. Good luck if you try it.

@quietriver I've got nothing to lose except a few more bucks out of my pocket. I'll go over to Amazon and see what they've got. Thanks for the information.

1 Reaction@quietriver Glad to hear that Blu Emu works for you. I have to ask... what is your pain level prior to using it?
