Hi @tonino, You mentioned that you read most of the links @colleenyoung shared with you on the stem cell treatments for neuropathy. Did you happen to see my post in the discussion - Does Stem Cell Therapy work for Neuropathy that had my notes from a 2018 meeting of the Minnesota Neuropathy Association? We had a speaker that was deep into stem cell for neuropathy research and he shared what he knew and gave us links to all of the papers which sheds a lot of light and some hope on the topic along with why it's not ready for prime time yet. As far as I've read, nothing has changed and I've yet to read a successful treatment for neuropathy other than some hope if you have diabetic neuropathy. Sorry for being so wordy...here's the link to my post in that discussion.

Thank you John, much appreciated. I will look it up. I agree apparently nothing has changed much as I haven' t found much of anything saying that injecting unprogrammed stem cells (from newborn umbilical cords) work to any degree. Seems like they made a big splash when they first hit the scene then nothing much since then. Its like being in a trial but we're paying for it. On the surface, the approach when combined with platelet rich plasma, nutrition and other supporting treatments makes so much sense I just need to feel that it has a reasonable chance of some success - maybe any success at this point because nothing else works. Happy to be in this group. Thanks again John.
