Format:Paperback
This book is brilliant! Even my GP commented how good it is. I keep referring to it over and over again. I've had it a couple of months now and have built up a supplement regime from the information in this book and my pain has definetly improved. I have to be very careful what I take because I also have advanced liver disease and just about everything is processed by the liver and my liver gets very upset when it has to deal with things it can't manage. I really know about it, whether its prescription drugs, supplements or food, my liver lets me know if its having problems. Prescription medications for just about everything are "out" - and so are some supplements, however, the supplements I'm now taking seem to go down fine and my pain is much easier in general. I have this book to thank for that. I've learnt quite a bit from it, eg: for some time I've tried taking B12 and it made me quite ill. But from the book I realized that I need Folate and B6 and possibly Biotin to process B12. Now I have the Folate, B6 and Biotin in my system I am taking B12 without a problem. Through reading the book you realize that one vitamin needs another to make it work and taking something in isolation to others can be a waste of time. I'd recommend this book to anyone with PN. And just as a note I found that after I started taking Folate I began to feel better, I suspect that I had a Folate deficiency which I hadn't realized. Also I began with a good multivitamin and then built the dosages up from there, adding one at a time. Some things I'd add and then 3 days later have to stop them because of my liver getting upset. I then would go back to it sometime later when I'd added other things and in many cases it worked and I had no reaction from my liver. Thiamin (B1) was one such thing.

EXCELLENT!
24 April 2005
Format:Paperback
This book, gave me the knowlege to go to my Dr and tell him I was not going to take anymore perscriptions as no matter what i had been taking, including, neurontin, messed my brain up even though it might have helped with the pain. I noticed how so many said vitamin B was such a help and I am now using vitamins to combat my problem. Thank you for putting the book together and giving us hope that we are not alone in this fight within our own bodies. The Dr's comment with a smile was"Congratulations, you've graduated! You don't need to come back for six months"

Mostly quite good, except...

Most nutrients he mentions will help most people with PN. But there is one to beware of. Alpha lipoic acid is actually a great antioxidant and has been shown to be helpful in short term studies for PN pain. The problem is that if you have heavy metal toxicity (mercury) you need to be very very careful. ALA can definitely cross the blood brain barrier, and it can also bind to mercury, i.e., it is a chelator. If there is a lot of mercury in your body, as from mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth that are constantly releasing mercury, ALA can take more of it into your brain, and will likely bring on worsening of symptoms. To prevent this, it needs to be dosed on the chemical half life (which is 3 to 4 hours), and started at low doses. It typically doesn't make you worse until several months of use, (and this is why short term studies don't pick it up)thus it is difficult to make the connection. It happened to me, and it took me a long time to figure things out. For more info read Amalgam Illness by chemist Andrew Cutler PhD, or join the free Yahoo health discussion group frequent-dose-chelation.

Information for Peripheral Neuropathy Sufferers
20 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has a good bit of info for those who suffer from Peripheral Neuropathy. I am glad I bought the book and every new bit of information helps me cope and feel some mastery over PN. Still, it was not organized quite as accessibly as I would have liked, and it suffers from the inevitable publishing-lag when compared to information straight from the Internet on current studies and thinking on PN.
