Has anyone tried treatment for diabetic neuropathy?

Posted by beetlejeuse @beetlejeuse, Apr 25, 2022

My dad (age 60) was recently diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy and I have been researching all about it this past week. I know there is no cure but I have run into multiple treatment centers that claim they can help alleviate the pain. My dad lost so much weight recently, I could barely recognize him and it scared me half to death, and he can't sleep through the night because of the pain. Has anyone tried Loma Linda's INF treatment or HFX spinal cord stimulation? The meds given by his doctor don't seem to help much so I am also going to try to give him some medicinal edibles to sleep through the night.

Thank you to anyone who can give me some insight.

Thanks, Justin.

I have tried essentially 3 things: 1. Controlling my diabetes, 2. Exercise, 3. Foot Massagers. I think all three help to slow the progression, but my neuropathy continues to worsen. All my doctors tell me there is no cure. My neurologist suggested gabapentum, but I've been told that gabapentum will only mask the pain and can lead to other problems. The only medical people who claim to have a cure are chiropractors. Very few of them, if any, can provide any evidence that their treatments (which tent to cost in the $7,000 to $10,000 range) actually work. And a number of my doctors tell me that some of their patients have worked with chiropractors and did not have any success.

Have you tried Nerve Control 911? I take 2 capsules every day and have no diabetic peripheral neuropathy pain in my feet for 3 years. Have also taken Pregabalin with no results.
