We're like the red ants fighting the black ants while there is an anteater standing over us. Let's pull ourselves back together. Research is good; new techniques are good, different treatments are good for different people. We need to write/call/email our elected representatives, pharma companies, the medical community, and potential investors/donors and get them excited about research and medicines for people who suffer from neuropathy. It looks like the ball has started rolling already ... What do you think? Peggy

You are right Peggy, as with many people who have PN is that people want the quick fix: a tab.et , a cream etc, and that is what the big pharmaceutical companies want. They pump out possible solutions,and then educate the medical fraternity, doctors nurses etc. They are much like the cigarette industry denying the fact cigarettes maimed and killed . Like almost every level of the medical practitioners have one big thing in common. To earn big profits and net profit.servicing a population that want a quick fix.The last thing they want is a quick fix for PN. . A solution other than their products and loss of service is the nightmare of all nightmares for them, and that is why Neuroplasticity is practically never mentioned . The Pharmaceutical provide gifts , trips, also provide finance for new buildings and equipment etc. etc. Just remember, it not that long ago that the the tobacco industry advised and advertised, that smoking was soothing for pregnant women , and in fact healthy Best wishes from Australia

@pfbacon I think the most promising research would be in regenerative medicine. I'd love to try it on my legs, but unfortunately, Medicare isn't covering it, and it's too expensive for me to self-pay.
