Neuropathy scams update

Posted by jillkellyauthor @jillkellyauthor, Jul 24 2:54pm

I fell hard for a scam from Quiet Nerves because the AI promoter was Dr. Yoshinori Ohsume, a Nobel Prize Winning Dr of Medicine. He spun a good tale about his wife's neuropathy. I knew of him. Knew he was legit and bought $850 of the supplements that "cured" his wife. It never occurred to me that it was AI until I got off line and went searching for the Quiet Nerves website (one page). I'm disputing it with my bank for fraud. And QN is now offering me a 50% refund. This came in my email yesterday.

"The New York Times found hundreds of A.I.-generated doctors, healers and wellness influencers on social media touting the health benefits of supplements to American consumers. Many of these hyperrealistic looking ads promise medical miracles, and appear to be targeting older women, while making misleading health claims for a profit."

There’s a hoard of products online right now and most are an AI-ad and a scam. Before you sigh up or subscribe, check it out on Google!

Does anyone know if nervease is a scam? I saw a video by Dr Yoshinori Ohsumi who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2016. He supposedly created this for his wife. Sounds similar to Quiet Nerves that jillkellyauthor wrote about. Copilot states that it is not a scam but . . .

Dr. Ohsumi's website states that he does not make, sell, or promote any kinds of supplements.

Sorry for your pain, sorry for you being scammed. It's not only drugs and creams and foods but it is also treatment and devices that never work. Neuropathy is horrible illness and we are very vulnerable. We are desperate for a cure or even relief so we can get back to our normal life. I have tried almost everything. I have a spinal cord stimulator for about 2 years that does not give me relief at all. In fact, many times it just adds a layer to the pain. I've had 10-15 adjustments in programs and still nothing works. Thankfully, I was fully covered by medical insurance, but I'd gladly pay to have my life back. In fact, years ago I paid about $10,000 for stem cell therapy. What a con job. Good luck to everyone reading this and hopefully one of you will be cured and tell us about it.

I use a site which gives
sound advice on lifestyle, diet, some supplements, an effective topical cream for pain.

I filed a dispute with my credit union, which is now in the hands of the Visa dispute team. I also accepted a 55% refund from the scammers. According to the credit union, if Visa approves my dispute, I'll get the rest of the money back. It's definitely worth filing if you get scammed.

@julkun sorry this is a slight side track, but I totally agree about the on line scams. Had anyone used Lyrica at 600 mg per day and gained any pain relieve?

On Facebook there are constant adds on curing Neuropathy,they should be sued for allowing this
So many people are suffering With this debilitating disease. I wake up every morning hoping to see something on the mayo clinics website, if not a cure how to relieve the pain even just a little bit.
