why doctors embrace diabetes

Posted by txflower2023 @txflower2023, Aug 23, 2023

2 lab test 14 days apart proving no diabetes in hand, I went to a neurologist, he refused to accept no diabetes, took a urine sample and again refused to accept NON DIABETIC. He wanted to do amputation for $90,00.00...I refused and refer to his as doc cut offs. Second neurologist said it was diabetes and refused to accept the previous lab tests. Wanted to insert needles in my feet with drugs! I refused. Third doctor a holistic neurologist advised most neuropathy is not diabetes related and prescribed compound meds, compression socks, medical king walking stick, ortho shoes and diet of NO sugar limited carbs, caffeine no alcohol for now, red wine later. RESULTS I have improved, walking better, and little pain during day which is eased with red light therapy. YES IT IS WORK...dedicated work...I again say this will not work for everyone but best to try before doc cut offs and doc drug up invade your body.
I wish all of Y'ALL much luck.

How did you find holistic neurologist. I hope you continue to improve. What do you use for red light therapy?

Research lotsa research. Sadly she closed her office for non diabetic neuropathy is NOT covered by medicare and most insurance. WHY?? less money to docs and pharmacists. and more challeging to treat. Luckily she has moved out of town but treats me via tele med.
....the red light is the NASA one advertised all over the place about $60.00 from Great Britain and takes awhile to receive it.
