Whenever, I see something that says it can cure Neuropathy it throws up a red flag for me. I don't believe anyone that makes that claim.

It is unbelievable to me how people can be so cruel to play on the pain of others for monetary gain.

I tried to order a free 14 day trial bottle they offer with a $6.49 shipping fee. Of course to finalize the order, they make you go through 6 pages of extra products they're trying to sell. I was very careful about clicking on the "No thank you" at the bottom of each page, and then my order was finalized. But when I got my order confirmation, they had charged me $136.90 for 3 bottles!
I then spent about 40 mn. on the phone talking to a supervisor to make sure EVERYTHING was cancelled. I have no idea if the product is any good or not because I will not do business with any company who tries to pull this crap to sell all their stuff. I will stick to my R Alpha Lipoic Acid and vitamin B regiment which does seem to work.

After much research, I decided to try R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid and a str0ng vitamin B regimen. It does help, but I've come to the conclusion there are no magic bullets.

If you're sensitive to nightshades, eliminating them from your diet will ease the pain a lot, especially (for me) potatoes, tomatoes, peppers.

Yes, it is quite amazing that nightshades can hurt so much!
I think it is the solanine in them. Perhaps some research will appear in the near future about this alkaloid, and what it does to people! Tomatoes you know were thought to be poisonous at one time historically.

Why did tomatoes have such a bad reputation early in our history? The answer lies first in appearances and then in names. For starters, the close resemblance of tomatoes to deadly nightshade [a.k.a. Belladonna] (so close that the two were occasionally mistaken for each other) did not encourage equanimity.
....
Many members of this [nightshade] family are indeed poisonous or hallucinogenic or both. That the family also contains many edible members (potatoes, chili peppers, and eggplants among them) did not help the tomato’s reputation, because of these only the eggplant was familiar to Europeans in the 16th century. The others, like the tomato, came from the New World and, like it, were suspect.
....
Just to seal the tomato’s fate, all parts of the plant, with the exception of its fruit, actually are poisonous.

The above article led me—eventually—to this one: Tainted tomato led to arthritis, which in turn led me to wonder if the tomato's "poisonous" rep couldn't possibly have been fueled by something similar in those olden times—someone becoming (violently) ill and/or dying after consuming contaminated tomatoes (reminescent of that whole ergotism/witch-hunt business which, incidentally, occurred during the same era/region). :Ponder: :Doh:

A.k.a. "Love Apples", "Golden Apples", "Wolf Peaches", "Moor Apples".... tomatos have a fascinating (his/her)story.... :D

I don't know about the other ingredients but lobelia is poisonous and can cause cardiac arrythmias.

I, like most with PN have thrown a lot of money at an attempt to feel better but any product with press release headings like: "Neuracel Promises to Cure Neuropathy By the Reversal of Nerve Damage" is in my opinion, BS at very best.

Supplements that claim to cure PN are scams and should be investigated by the FTC.

I have tried Neuracel and found that it worked for me to limit foot pain but because it caused headaches I was forced to stop. In my case, if any product says headaches might be a side effect, I'll be the one who will get them. I think this product for most will be a good try.
