It seems he is talking more and more about PN--the last 3 months he's mentioned something about it in each newsletter. Maybe it's because the incidence of PN has increased greatly in statin users so he's receiving more inquiries.

He said tremors could be a symptom of PN, along with the other more common ones, pain, tingling, etc. I remember someone asking about tremors a while back and several responded that they, too, were experiencing them. Sometimes when I'm in a time bind, or feel pressure somehow, I notice my head bobbling, but I do seem to be able to control this to a degree.

Another interesting thing he discussed was R-lipoic acid helping diabetic neuropathy at 300 to 600 mg with each meal. And I remember someone else posting they had benefited from this larger dose. He drew a connection between diabetes and hypertension and said good diet could cure them, with emphasis on plant extracts such as curcumin, quercetin (Dr. Oz likes these too), cinnamon, resveratrol, luteolin and kaempferol (which I'd never heard of before).

He also recommended the same supplements for PN that MrsD suggests with the addition of carnosine, ascorbate, and natural Vitamin E.

I also read somewhere, I think his web site, where he's on the Board for Life Extension Foundation--I remember Wings used to pass on info from them quite a bit on the old board.
