Pink Salt “Cure?”

@wascaly
I wouldn't recommend using pink salt. I'm sure your physician would not recommended it.
I resolved myself to the effects of my neuropathy which are many. Have you tried Lyrica? It works better for many than Gabapentin. Personally, I would find the constant disappointments more difficult than the neuropathy itself.

My dentist who has neuropathy and suffers from back pain recommended pink salt + baking soda added to some warm water. I only tried it once. He claims it gives him some relief

@arcuri24
I read using pink Himalayan salt as a foot bath is actually more effective than injesting it according to a 2020 study.
I'm certainly not going to willingly hand my money over to criminals who pray on our suffering and perpetuate the fraud market.
Take care,

Thanks for that info. My dentist said it helps with neuropathy with the view that perhaps idiopathic group may have nerve damage due to the ingestion of microplastics that could have damaged the peripheral nerve endings in our feet and hands. I am certainly alert to the fraud market--wolves in sheep clothing. As far as bath goes, I am doing epsom salt baths several times a week as I think I may have nerve damage caused by a shin shave biopsy. I might also try peppermint baths too. The biopsy was done by a dermatologist who after 41 years of practice could not tell the difference between a cancerous and non-cancerous lesion. My pain was for something totally benign. Not only are there criminals out there; others are inept. Be careful and wishing you well.

Thank you for your response.
I tried the pink salt in water for the first time this morning. Time will tell if it’s helpful. You are SO right about wolves in sheep’s clothing! In my post I think I mentioned all the money I’ve spent on different “cures” only to be disappointed and angry that none did what they promised, surprise, surprise.
I also appreciate the information about plastic water bottles, which I’ve been using for YEARS, especially in the gym.
Time to buy an insulated cup and pray it’ll make a difference!

First of all, there is no way you could know you are worse off because of the remedies you've tried. Every remedy we tryl is an uncontrolled experiment. Meaning there is not another you that has not tried the remedies. You've tried to determine if you would be better off or not. Next, I would get off of gabapentin. Bad side effects and offers only temporary relief. I am currently on the Himalayan pink salt treatment offered by Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil. Sadly, I'm coming to the conclusion. It's just another gimmick to separate me from my money. I've been on the pink salt capsules. They are selling at 60 bucks per bottle for 60 capsules. I've been on it a month and have noticed no change. Watch out for these scam artist who make you listen to a one hour dissertation of how they came across this rare and exotic mineral our plant and came up with the formula for their product. I have fallen for that story for the last time. There is no cure for neuropathy. We may as well get used to it. When and if a cure is ever found, it will be front page news, and everyone will know about it. Stop throwing your money away on hopeless remedies found on the Internet, Facebook and other media sources. The one thing I have seen most common to all remedies is the need for circulation in your feet and legs. Exercise is main. I wear heated socks to keep my feet warm and help with circulation in my feet. The heated socks are very comfortable and are available on Amazon for about $60-$70. Rechargeable batteries, I recharge every night while I sleep. The one other suggestion I have, and I think this is the best remedy of all, prayer. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and he is the great physician. I am blessed that I have no pain associated with my neuropathy and have had it for seven years, but it is gradually getting worse. I suspect in two years I will not be able to drive anymore.

Good luck with your search for a cure, but consider a relationship with Jesus Christ and prayer.

Having tried the Pink Salt cure offered by Dr.’s Oz & Phil (they should be ashamed of themselves) in the form of NEURO Salt, I agree 100% with dclark8!

@alicebrown @dclark8 - The fake ads you see for the pink salt by Dr Oz and Dr Phil are AI generated. It's best to do a deep dive and research everything advertised as a cure or that helps neuropathy...so many scams out there and Artificial Intelligence (AI), makes it even harder to tell if it's the real deal or not.

@dclark8
Gabapentin is a very beneficial medication for a great many people. It helps patients with Epilepsy and Neuropathy and a variety of other conditions. Not everyone has side effects and many who do often improve with continued use. I'm sorry if you had a bad experience but gabapentin has helped many people.
Take care,

I’ve tried gabapentin. It didn’t work for me.
