A unique study of 98 patients, 5 different diagnostic types, including chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, traumatic neuropathy, and other mixed neuropathies.
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/832576 In a pilot group of 10 patients, biopsies performed 2 to 4 months after CET showed that 7 of the 10 patients had regrown their nerves by an average of 81%. |

Sorry, I did not realize it required a membership but as Marlene suggested, it is a free sign-up.
What I find confusing about CET therapy is how it differentiates from the Integrated Nerve Block (InB) treatment that many chiropractors already perform. Here is another article on CET (no membership required): http://www.corporatewellnessmagazine...-neuropathies/ With such promising study outcomes, why aren't neuros adopting this therapy? |

My cynical take on this....
Does insurance cover it? Probably not. Is it expensive? Probably not Chiropractors can administer this and are more open to the use of "electricity" in healing modalities vs neurologist. And...many docs think chiropractors are quacks. For the same reasons they don't like supplements. Etc, etc, etc. I'm just in one of those moods after dealing with healthcare insurance the past two days.  .

I understand your mood Marlene. I think many of us have been there.
 Doctors do tend to reject supplements and chiropractors. If only they understood our desperation perhaps they might be more open to alternative therapies. We here know that what is currently available is not enough. We do not just need relief from symptoms, we need nerve regeneration and reversal of this horrid disorder. |

Beatle, that's a very interesting idea that bears investigation. My initial attempts to locate a doctor who performs this procedure here in Los Angeles met with: zip.
Any idea how to find a practitioner? There are as you might expect zillions of MDs, DCs and everything else in this area. Surely one of them must know about this? Any suggestions from anyone appreciated! |

I searched for availability of the procedure in Colorado without success. I did locate it in Arizona, Texas, Indiana and even Canada but traveling to these places is not feasible since several treatments are required.

I spoke w/ him and the ankle block is not something that a Chiro would do. TENS may have been somewhat similar. CET sounds sweet except for the ankle block. Am anxious to understand why the ankle block is an integral part of this therapy. Have not read all info yet so happy hunting to all. Ken in Texas.

We have chiropractors here that do the ankle blocks but not combined with the electrical component...it is not the CET procedure.
In my search, I did see one in San Antonio. Maybe that is near you. |
