Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

@cleveland26 It was the acupuncturist who required a contract. It made me suspicious. When it comes to neuropathy, I have noticed that chiropractors are scam artists. My private health care pays for 10 acupuncture sessions, so I might try it again - with someone else.

NEURO SALT IS A SCAM!!!
I bit! Still have purple, burning toes! Cannot get my $$$ back as the phone & email on bottle aren’t correct! Advertised 100% moneyback guarantee. Not happening!
Dr. Oz & Dr. Phil should be ashamed of themselves for promoting such a SCAM!

I started weight training 74 years ago, and you are right on. I still go to the gym 3x/week, and need to do it even more. But it only slows down the deterioration, it does not stop it.
My question is: is there anything that will reverse the loss?

For me, having been diagnosed with IPN in January, what has helped includes:
1. One prescription drug - Gabapentin - which I take 2-3 hours before bedtime;
2. Over the counter medications - R-Lipoic Acid, Magnesium Glycinate and a number of additional vitamins recommended by a number of top rated medical journals.
3. Exercise every day if even for 15 minutes. If you can, move your body, especially walking.
I didn't list the amount of the above medications because you need to start off slowly until you find the right dosage for you. BUT, let me make this clear - what I take has been a big help for me but I'm not a doctor and, what works for me doesn't mean it will work for you!
P.S. Don't waste your money on all the scams on the internet - No matter what anyone says - There is no cure. If there was, you would have heard that already from Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical, Cleveland Clinic etc. etc,, already!!!

I think I might’ve already asked this, but since I didn’t get any responses, I’ll ask again!
Has anyone tried the Himalayan pink salt “cure?” I’m on my 2nd day. Not sure how long it’ll take to start to notice any relief, but I’m seeing so many cons about Gabapentin, I’m up for trying anything. Gabapentin or Lyrica never helped anyway so it won’t be a great loss.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on pink salt. Meantime, I’ll keep on this pink salt regimen. It’s cheap and convenient. If I start to notice anything, positive or negative, I’ll be sure to post!

After being in the Mayo system for a few days I see an important issue:
DO YOU HAVE PAIN WITH YOUR PN?
Because many of the "treatments" seem to address the pain only.
Are there really 2 types (or more) of PN, and do they require different cures?
After almost 30 years of having PN I am on the verge of complete loss of
mobility.

@wascaly there is no cure unfortunately. All that salt will do is perhaps, raise your blood pressure.

Relief from the pain for me, comes by taking the supplement, ALA. Alpha-Lipoic Acid. It was recommended to me by my neurologist.
I take 600mg twice a day.

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.
