Neuropathy treatments: How to avoid scams?

@wideawakechas - I'm with Jake on this product. Have seen too many neuropathy magic pills. There are supplements that can help but you have to do you own research and make sure they are high quality. Here are some good links for guidance when trying to make a decision. I don't trust any product with "secret" ingredients.

Here are a few sources of supplements that can help with nerve health:
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/ has a link to a PDF listing many of the supplements for the nervous system here: https://www.foundationforpn.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Complementary-and-Alternative-Treatments.pdf

Thank you so much for all of the information you provided to all of us. I have had Peripheral Neuropathy since 1996 and my husband has it chemo induced Peripheral Neuropathy since 2024. I have learned how to live with it but I would do anything to find relief for him. He has severe pain in his feet. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Is your husband on any treatment or medications for the neuropathy?
