I have heard both sides of the argument myself. Those saying that the nerves can heal and those that say they can't. I do know this, there are clinical studies that have shown regrowth of mylein sheath with supplementation. There are also confirmed cases of people who have recovered from SFN. So, i get a little perplexed when i hear that SFN is not curable and that damaged nerves are permanent and that it is a case of pain management once it occurs.

Here are some studies that give me hope:

I refuse to believe that the body does not want to heal itself when damaged.
