Thanks mrsD, for the reply. How would I know if the damage is to the axons?

I'm just beginning this journey, so have a lot to learn.

Aside from supplements, does exercise/therapy help, does anyone know?

Exercise will benefits many, or perhaps all, types of healing. It does so many good things for the body. For one it increases circulation. Healing requires the proper nutrients and the removal of wastes, which are both provided by blood circulation. Google "exercise and healing".

Exercise also affects gene expression, that is what our genes do. Interesting article with numerous examples:

Acetyl L Carnitine question:

If you eat a lot of meat should you still take it?? I read that you should not since meat has it in it. I took one bottle, didn't notice a difference, but never really do with supplements, but not sure if I should be taking this supplement or not.

thanks

Dr. John Hayes indicates in one of his podcasts that this supplement may take a long time to have an effect. You can search for this podcast or I have posted about it. If we are talking about the healing of nerves, and not just the blocking of pain, this is bound to take a long time. For one, materials including mitochondria are transported along the length of the nerve rather slowly. Plus neurons are just rather slow to grow or heal.

Please don't eat a lot of meat. Animal protein, saturated fat, & cholesterol cause disease.

Well I do eat a lot of meat and that was the question. If you eat alot of meat it is in meat so do you need to take the supplement.

If you have little or no acid in the stomach
You cannot break the carnitine out of the
meat. Acid blockers do the same thing.

Some doctors will ID axonal injury. But you know, the extra ones are good for other things...so taking them is not expensive or
a risk of any kind. Just extra insurance.
