For the record I am in my late sixties, 15 pounds
overweight and otherwise healthy except for the Neuropathy,
acid reflux and some Tinnitius.
Was taking prescriptions Teka ( Reflux) and Lipidor (
anti-cholesterol)
Nov 2014
I am convinced the "light " therapy would NOT work in my
case..Sensory Peripheral Neuropathy I have just a mild
beginnings of this disease in winter of 2014 and am trying
my best to find the cause.
May 6, 2015
After some research I decide it would be best to stop
taking Lipidor ( anti-cholesterol statin) last may 2015, to
my surprise many aches and pains in my upper spine and neck
disappeared, along with a good reduction in intensity in
those horrible crunching noises when I move my neck back
and forth.
Apparently Peripheral Neuropathy is a confirmed side effect
of these Statin drugs along with Tinnitus.

My wife and myself viewed an interesting show on Netfflix
called "Forks over Knives" .. the underlying message is
that almost everything that negatively affects the human
body is caused by some sort of inflammation and is really
is about eating healthy and a change in lifestyle. Any way
we decided to do an about face and did reduce a lot of
toxic dietary products and eliminate a lot of processed
foods, fats etc...) we also purchased a Juicer and have one
glass each day .
Started taking several Vitamins daily as supplements.
At this time my NEUROPATHY symptons had NOT changed
Sept 22,2015
Been off the Lipidor Statin for over 4 months and on a
healthier lifestyle for 5 weeks:
My wife has also helped me by aggressively massaging each
soles for about 20 minutes each day while we watch TV
Results so far:
AT this time my NEUROPATHY symptons have a changed from
Numbness in the soles of my feet to a "less intense
Numbness" along with a new prickly tingling sensation which
was not present before.. similar to when my hand went to
sleep and wakes up again.
My Acid reflux has totally disappeared.
I am sleeping about one hour longer each night.
My energy levels are bit better throuhgout the day
My wife really surpised me. She is 50 and otherwise
healthy.
Her daily migraines she has had since childhood have gone
away ( some would last 2 days or more, sometime staying off
work). In the last 5 weeks she had only one attack.
Her Acid reflux has also disappeared as has mine.
And I lost 10 pounds ..
I don't know what this means but I think it's all good.
I rejected that Light Therapy" as a placebo effect after
reading through hours of Clinical trials by bona fide
doctors
I did see a well advertised on-line "Chousky Centre" in
Toronto ans was NOT impressed at all.. there main focus was
trying to lease to me a questionable Light Therapy Home
care kit for $2400 over a 90 day period. Their diagnosis of
my condition was a joke.
Never once attempted to discus the cause .. just offered me
their band aid Light therapy solution. That's all have to
say about that
That whole experience was extremely disapointing
