Hi 10decisions

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

A few thoughts which I hope that you will find helpful:

My understanding and experience is that alcohol-induced PN is insidious - it does not switch on and off depending on whether somebody is drinking or not.

I see that you a taking a lot of supplements - are there any medical reasons for this? I know about some of them.

When I stopped drinking my psychiatrist prescribed thiamine for a month because thiamine levels in people who drink to excess can be depleted. He stressed that taking it for longer than that is, in the absence of a medical reason, not necessary and may have adverse health outcomes. I followed his clinical judgement.

Papaya enzymes (probably papain) and digestive enzymes (could be anything) are just proteins. Your gut has many digestive enzymes which rapidly break down ingested proteins, including enzymes, into their constituent amino acids. Because of this I doubt that taking enzymes as supplements would be of much benefit.

There is reasonable evidence that manuka honey has antibiotic properties. I use it, applied topically, when I have minor cut or graze. Apart from that it is just honey which I eat because I enjoy it. I doubt that eating it has any special health benefits compared to any other kind of honey.

All the best.
