You can Google Dr. Wise Young yourself and his website will come up and you can go there that way.

But I have read his opinion about alcohol induced neuropathy, which is several years old. At that time there were no studies showing direct alcohol effects on nerves in the periphery. So Dr. Young's thoughts at the time were that neuropathy that occurs with alcohol may be due to low nutrient status, and when that is fixed, the neuropathy goes away.

Since then there has been a new study on rats to show alcohol does damage peripheral nerves.

Another thing is that some people cannot metabolize the aldehydes that result during the metabolism of alcohol, and it is this chemical attack that damages the nerves. That is why thiamine and benfotiamine are recommended now for alcohol consumption with PN. It it thought that Flagyl and Antabuse which use this pathway also cause neuropathy symptoms in some patients.

I think it is highly individualistic. Some people can drink and not get PN and others do. This has to be a genetic difference in the metabolism of alcohol controlled by genes.
