I really have to tell you, I've been in practice for several years and I have many, many patients over those years that complain of numbness, burning and tingling. I give them this nutritional adjunct, NeuRemedy, and it is phenomenal what it is doing for these patients. They come back and the burning is gone. The tingling is gone. The numbness is gone. I have one woman in particular. She comes in every month. She refills it. She says, "Doc, I'm young again! I can walk, I feel great." To nutritionally manage your patients with neuropathy, numbness, tingling, burning, I have to tell you, NeuRemedy is really, really the best. I highly recommend it for your patients. It's cost effective and it's a great, great adjunct for your patients and for your practice. They'll love it. Thank you.

I nutritionally manage a lot of my patients who present with symptoms of neuropathy. I'm a big fan of NeuRemedy as one of the products that I use. I always take blood tests on my neuropathy patients and if I see that they have a low thiamine level, either low normal or abnormally low, even within the realm of normalcy, but low normal. I will try NeuRemedy as a product and I've had very, very remarkably good outcomes with many of these patients. Let me give you an example of one patient that I had. He's a fellow, middle aged fellow, very affluent individual in my community who had came in with severe, severe burning of his feet. No history of diabetes. No history of anything and he had gone to the top neurologists in New York City and all of them said, "You've got neuropathy; there's nothing we can do about it. We don't know what's causing it." He came into my office, he had been a patient of mine for foot problems for many, many years, and said to me, "Look, is there anything you can do for me? I'm in severe, severe pain." As a matter of fact he was an accountant and it was entering into tax season and he said that it's going to cramp his entire economics because he couldn't work because of this. So I said, "Look, let's try" and I ordered some blood tests and checked him for his vitamin B-1 thiamine levels, and lo and behold it was really, really abnormally low. So I ordered a bottle of NeuRemedy and I said, "Look, try this." I said, "I don't know if it's going to work, but you've gone to the top neurologists in New York City and they haven't been able to help you. You've got low thiamine levels here that could cause neuropathic symptoms." I said, "Try this." I said, "It may take a month to see any results, try taking this for a month." Now I'm not making this story up. I'm not exaggerating. He came back in less than a week, practically wanted to hug and kiss me. He said within a week of taking NeuRemedy his symptoms completely went away, and I said to him, "Look I don't carry NeuRemedy in my office", at that time I wasn't doing that, so I gave him the website of the company that makes it. I said, "Look, buy directly from them" and he's since been taking it on a regular basis. I see him for various foot problems. He has no symptoms of neuropathy whatsoever. We've repeated his thiamine levels and they are now within normal range. No symptoms whatsoever and needless to say he's sent me many other patients in his family that have similar type symptoms. I now use NeuRemedy on many other patients, and I actually do dispense NeuRemedy now to my patients. It makes it easier for them, for me to sell them the bottle rather than have to, you know, send them on a wild goose chase on the internet ordering it for them and they appreciate that as a favor, a courtesy, and I have found that to help a lot of patients.

Another patient I had is a patient with severe diabetes and she was also going to neurologists and no one could help her. She was taking all of the various medications for the pain associated with diabetic neuropathy including gabapentin. She was taking some of the anti-depressants and was still in severe pain. She was also at risk for getting ulcerations. I was basically monitoring her to make sure she wasn't developing any ulcerations. I said to her at one of her visits, "You know, why don't we try NeuRemedy?" I said, "It will cost you (whatever it was...twenty nine dollars a bottle) and if it doesn't work, that's all you lost. If it does work, it will be a Godsend." Well P.S., I actually have to mail her a bottle because she goes to Florida for the winter and I'm up in the New York area. I have to mail her a bottle every single month now because she says it's the only thing that's actually helped her eliminate the symptoms that she's associated with diabetic neuropathy and grateful is an understatement for putting her on to this. Those are two cases I can think of at the moment. I have many, many others. So does it work for every single patient? No. But I use a benchmark, if I see that their thiamine levels are high, then I'm going to tell them, "Look, I'm not going to give you a supplement when your thiamine levels are high." But when I see it's either in the low/normal range or abnormally low, way below, you know, what the lab says is normal, I definitely give them this supplement, and it always works in those cases. They always come back and thank me, and I've built up a lot of good will in the community as well, because as we know in our profession, one patient sends other patients. So when you help a patient to the point where they want to hug you and kiss you the next time they see you, they're going to send you four or five other patients, either with the same problem or other foot problems and I think that that has helped me more than anything in terms of working with this particular product. And another thing is I haven't seen anything in the literature associated with any side effects associated with neuropathy. Many of the other medications and supplements that have been prescribed and being used by my colleagues for the management of diabetic neuropathy have had question marks about serious potential side effects. NeuRemedy doesn't. That's a big plus for me. So I'm happy with it.
