@fiesty, I have had neuropathy for almost 30 years, ranging from my feet to my fingertips and shoulders. I tried everything the docs could suggest. Nothing helped. Finally, a couple years ago, someone suggested turmeric. So I bought a small jar of powdered turmeric from a big box store, and tried it. About a quarter teaspoon in small glass of warm water, about 6-8 oz. The neuropathy was gone in about 15 minutes. I do not use it every day, but only when the neuropathy is really driving my insane. Turmeric is a blood thinner, so one has to be very conservative about using it. I suspect the characteristic of blood thinner is part of the anti-neuropathy work.
