Hi @carryme, I'm glad to electronically make your acquaintance too. I'm really not that knowledgeable but I do like doing my own research when it comes to things that impact my health or could help me. I think we all need to do our own research and be our own advocate.

Sometimes when things sound too good to be true they probably are...color me a skeptic and I really like Mel Gibson. Here's another link to the interview you mentioned from another perspective.

Here are a few references I use to evaluate a new treatment that sounds too good to be true.

The over the counter vitamins and minerals I take to help my neuropathy are not a cure. As far as I know there is no cure for neuropathy. That said, the protocol I take has helped my symptoms and seems to have stopped or slowed the progression and to me that's a win. Here's a link to my small fiber peripheral neuropathy journey in an earlier post on Connect that has a link to where I found them and what they are:

Best advice I have is to never give up hope, keep asking questions and learn as much as you can about your health condition.
