After reading some of the above posts, I feel very fortunate in the fact that I experience no pain with my peripheral neuropathy. I just have numbness from my toes to my knees. I am a God-fearing Christian conservative, and I believe in the power of prayer.

I have fallen for the last time for these miracle concoctions made from exotic plants and animals that promise to cure Neuropathy. I am currently taking Neuro salts as advertised and pushed by Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil. Although I know that these advertisements are probably AI generated I, and many others seem to keep falling for their promise of a cure. But no more. These people or whoever is behind it have one purpose in mind. That is to separate you from your money. Oh yes, they promise a moneyback guarantee which is the catchphrase that seems to work for their misleading promises. They are banking on the fact that a high percentage of people will not go through the trouble to request a refund when they realize they have been duped. I would guess upward of 75% of the people who fall for these concoctions will not request a refund within the small window they have the opportunity to do so.

So, I will continue to listen and pray for a cure. But I assure you, when a cure, and if a cure is ever found, it will be front page news and you won't have to listen to these infomercials promising results they know will not work. A bona fide cure may be out there or may not be out there.

This is one thing I can offer that may or may not be helpful as I have tried many treatments, ointments and medications. I wear heated socks. The one consistent treatment that all of the articles I have read agree on is circulation in your lower extremities. It seems to me, using my common sense, that keeping your feet and calves warm is a sure way to increase circulation. Heated socks are easily available on Amazon and inexpensive. I have two pair of socks so I can wash one pair while wearing another pair. I have had these socks for well over one year and the batteries are still good. Rechargeable batteries that I plug-in every night while I sleep.

I do not discourage you to stop any kind of topical ointments or salves that you may be using as I have enjoyed the warmth and somewhat of a relief from vapor rub, or other analgesics.

I have come to the conclusion that there is no cure for peripheral neuropathy, and I thank God that mine is without pain. The biggest suggestion, even more so than the heated socks, is to get into a prayer routine because God Almighty is the great physician. If you do not believe in God or prayer, may I suggest to you that you seek HIS face. Continue your research and try inexpensive treatments, but it is my recommendation to stay away from the high pressure tactics used by AI to sell you exotic, long term researched remedies that I have spent a lot of money on with no noticeable change. That is not to say that there may have been some slowing of the progression, but there is no way I could know that since this is not a controlled experiment, I will stay with Alpha Lapoic Acid and vitamin B as these are inexpensive vitamins that have other benefits also. Be smart in your decisions and use your common sense.

@dclark8 I find that soaking feet in cold water gives me relief for most of the day. Easily for a couple of hours it doesn't feel like I have neuropathy. I take extra ice and will drop few pieces in the water to keep it cool. Be careful though. It's very easy to get water too cold and freeze feet and not feel it. Hope it works for you too.
