I have only one question!!!!

What the heck would most of us do IF WE COULDN'T GET OUR HANDS ON THESE SUPPLEMENTS??

If our lives were solely led up to physicians, well...in my humble opinion, we'd be up the creek without a paddle.


I keep reading that doctors are prescribing this pill and that pill AND NO ONE IS TELLING YOU 'this supplement might be a better choice, etc. etc."

I know it's ALL ABOUT THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR, but cmon, there are lives at stake ...NOT TO MENTION THAT PEOPLE ARE IN PAIN, and if the doctors know that a certain supplement (even if there's a tiny chance), well, shouldn't he say "you know, there's a certain supplement out there that just might help you with your PN pain".

I was amazed that our podiatrist is going to begin selling the Benfotiamine.

You could have knocked me over when he said "there's a new treatment for diabetic neuropathy".

In the past, well, you know how physicians pooh pooh supplements.

They just push the meds.
