Has anyone had success with regeneration medicine for neuropathy?

Posted by vbloomf @vbloomf, Nov 13 8:52am

I currently have neuropathy and Abundant Health has recommended I try the regeneration therapy and red light therapy for 90 days. I have scoliosis and rods and possibly a pinched nerve unable to walk without walker and nerve pain. This therapy is supposed to help gain new nerves and help improve numbness and reverse neuropathy.

Are Doctors allergic to any product or treatment outside the Big Pharma erected fence?

Thank you so much I am half way there to try it but is $12,000 out-of-pocket for 90 days of treatment. I have no feeling in my feet and have more nerve pain so if it works well worth it!

@vbloomf I am ready to try anything also the doctor believes he can help me walk again using his treatment plan infrared red light and soft wave etc he has helped others with numbness in feet and pain. My medical doctors do not have a diagnosis or want to do anything but meds and PT. It is out of pocket because insurance does not pay for this treatment. The medical field is starting to notice though so maybe will change but right now medical doctors and insurance work together. It would be a miracle if it worked for me and will provide the best testimonial ever or provide helpful information to others that it just doesn't work. Believe me I will communicate!

That's all they had to offer me was pain meds. I declined several times. I will try any other treatment before I take pain meds. They may be necessary for short durations or in some special cases, but that's not how I want to live the rest of my life. I’ve been using AI a lot both to understand my conditions and to explore treatments. I'm using Red light and near infrared light therapy and PEMF therapy alternating each day.

I have had great success in relieving my neuropathy. I have had PN in my feet and it was moving up towards my knees. I was in great pain. My neuropathy is below my ankles now and my pain is very bearable. In desperation I tried Hyperbaric treatment. Don't know if it will work for everyone. I am also aware that there are alot of scams in this area. My previous post on Hyperbaric treatment will give some suggestions. Do some research about this it is somewhat expensive! Good luck ....Steve

@mrmacabre Thats what I was told. It will heal on its own or it won't heal at all. I think it's BS also. I think I'm going to try acupuncture. I've been trying everything else so I might as well give it a try.

@johnt54 I had success with accupuncture. It took months but relieved the pain. I still have numbness but no pain at all whereas it used to wake me up through the night.

$12,000 for 90 day treatment? I think I would get a second opinion from a another neurologist.

From what I have read, even if a nerve could somehow regenerate, it would only grow 1mm per day. That is if the nerve is not demylinated. A neurologist can perform tests to let you know the extent and type of nerve damage that you have.

In my humble opinion, Abundant Health is just another scam preying on people who are desperate for relief.

Ask yourself why a Chiropractor would know more than the entire medical profession.

@ohkay2 Agreed, I'll never let a chiropractor touch me because they're not medical professionals IMO. It sounds like another scam to me.

@vbloomf, with 1 out of 15 adults over 60 having some form of peripheral neuropathy, researchers are working hard to find solutions. Regenerative medicine offers promise. Researchers are working hard to find answers. You might be interested in this related article.

As you know, where there is hope, there is also hype. Beware of charlatans. If something claims to solve all your problems with miracle stem cell therapy, be skeptical and look into it carefully.
