SCAM alert for Neuropathy treatment
Why is it legal for AI created videos to sell products for neuropathy supposedly endorsed by Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz and others? I always check to see if they are scams and so many are. Not sure why they are not prosecuted and put out of business.

Just an aside remark to you and all. Don't continue to suffer through ad after ad when you are browsing on the Internet. My experience is so much better. NO ads at all! To prevent ads all you have to do is install an Ad Blocker into your browser. I use Firefox for my browser and under the Tools menu >Extensions and Themes find uBlock Origin and install it. POOF. No more ads. This even stops ads on YouTube!

Action should be taken for these false advertisements. I was ready to buy pink Himalayan salt. I was so excited. What if I would have start taking this concoction and it harmed me in some way? This should definitely be illegal. I just went to my doctor and he told me unfortunately there is No Cure for neuropathy. He said all they can do is treat the symptoms. He told me it may take 3 years for your nerves to heal after back surgery. It's been 2 years for me. He told me you have one more year and we will see how you feel if you feel the same way. Unfortunately, your nerves will stay the way it is.

Always remember what you do today does make a difference in your future. Keeping optimum blood flow to the area is a # 1 objective. Maintaining what you have is only a plus.
It does seem a bit harsh but for me it does help me think about what I do today makes a difference
Push through.

1 ReactionAlso be aware of "package" treatments like BluePrint. They are expensive and did little for my wife. This are sold now mostly by Chiropractors. Ours was from Hampstead Choropractic Clinic. $7,800. Lesson learned. Be aware of hard sales!
Even though there is no cure for peripheral neuropathy, there are plenty of hucksters out there willing to take our money. They have no empathy for our pain, just a greedy desire to take from us. Just keep passing the word. Post it on Facebook, Instagram, etc. Don't let your friends and family be taken in by these scammers. Urge them to do an online search for the product in question. There may be a few that actually help to a degree but most do not.
I was taken in by one of those famous Dr. scams. He was the Dr. for one of the big three networks for many years. He would give advice on medical things. I think the worse thing about it was that after 19 years of pain and always being told by my back operation and two neck operations that it was definitely neuropathy, and not something that todays medical knowledge could do anything about. I am 81 and I wanted to live a lot more years with my wife and children and grandchildren. The money was bad enough, but this scam held out the hope and possibility of relief happening without the Neuropathy pain day and night as well as the difficulty walking.
Please be smarter than me, and check on everything before being taken in by a scam that deadens your hope.
@robbb you can go safari & ask if the dr or item is legit and get a straight answer. I checked out Curayou & found it does nothing for healing nerves which they say it does. It does stop pain in some people with neuropathy
On the other hand, scams are much improved and feeling better!
