I'm trying an anti-inflammatory diet as well. No caffeine, lots of vegies, lean grass-fed meat, fish, chicken & turkey without the skin. colorful fruits (berries especially), no eggs, dairy products or gluten. Trying to follow "The Wahls Protocol" by Terry Wahls, M.D. who has multiple sclerosis (an autoimmune disease) and has managed to bring herself back from being almost bed-ridden to working full-time. My neuropathy/CMT seems to be caused by mitochondrial dysfunction (mutant FBXL4 and SDHB genes), but I have not been tested for autoimmunity (not looking forward to it). The mitochondrial dysfunction causes reduction of cell bioenergetics, i.e., your cells don't have enough ATP to fuel daily cellular biochemical functions. Mitochondrial dysfunction also generates lots of free radicals, which can trigger cancer. The anti-inflammatory diet can neutralize excess free radicals. I'm 2 mos into the diet and the swelling in my feet has been reduced, but the pain hasn't yet. Stay strong and soldier on.
