No wonder there is so little being done about Neuropathy!

Hi Barry, it sounds a bit like you are scolding others for being interested in research into neuropathy that is something other than neuroplasticity.
I give you lots of credit for firmly believing in neuroplasticity for YOU. But saying the word "neuroplasticity" a hundred times or more over many different posts does not actually describe what exactly it is you are DOING. Reading your posts made me interested in reading more about it, and so far I still do not know what to actually DO. What are the specific exercises? How does a person go from drinking in all of your personal enthusiasm about neuroplasticity to making it into something that can help them? All I have garnered from what you have said on the subject so far is that neuroplasticity must be another word for "will power". If I am dead wrong about that then please explain how I am wrong.
For some (many? most?) of us I think having hope for a breakthrough to occur in medical research of neuropathy is not a bad thing. Even while trying to do other things, like you for example, as you use neuroplasticity in some mystical way that you seem to understand.
Best, Hank

Hi Hank,
I also agree with you, I suffer a great deal of pain and loss of feeling. I don’t really understand what Barry is peddling.

Barry, Hank, I think the science of neuroplasticity, although not new, will not be in the forefront of pain elimination treatments for the foreseeable future. Many people today still do not realize the important role diet, exercise and positive mental attitudes have on their health. Many people I know personally (including family) prefer an easy answer such as taking a pill. We are an entitled society that wants easy answers and fast results which is understandable . The science of neuroplasticity is very difficult to grasp and utilize (I am assuming) plus I would guess that the medical world at large has also concluded that and see no risk/reward/financial gains to be had.
