Default Peripheral neuropathy Improves after 10 months

For the record I am in my late sixties, 15 pounds

overweight and otherwise healthy except for the Neuropathy,

acid reflux and some Tinnitius.

Was taking prescriptions Teka ( Reflux) and Lipidor (

anti-cholesterol)

Nov 2014
I am convinced the "light " therapy would NOT work in my

case..Sensory Peripheral Neuropathy I have just a mild

beginnings of this disease in winter of 2014 and am trying

my best to find the cause.

May 6, 2015
After some research I decide it would be best to stop

taking Lipidor ( anti-cholesterol statin) last may 2015, to

my surprise many aches and pains in my upper spine and neck

disappeared, along with a good reduction in intensity in

those horrible crunching noises when I move my neck back

and forth.
Apparently Peripheral Neuropathy is a confirmed side effect

of these Statin drugs along with Tinnitus.

August 19, 2015
My wife and myself viewed an interesting show on Netfflix

called "Forks over Knives" .. the underlying message is

that almost everything that negatively affects the human

body is caused by some sort of inflammation and is really

is about eating healthy and a change in lifestyle. Any way

we decided to do an about face and did reduce a lot of

toxic dietary products and eliminate a lot of processed

foods, fats etc...) we also purchased a Juicer and have one

glass each day .
Started taking several Vitamins daily as supplements.

At this time my NEUROPATHY symptons had NOT changed

Sept 22,2015
Been off the Lipidor Statin for over 4 months and on a

healthier lifestyle for 5 weeks:

My wife has also helped me by aggressively massaging each

soles for about 20 minutes each day while we watch TV
Results so far:

AT this time my NEUROPATHY symptons have a changed from

Numbness in the soles of my feet to a "less intense

Numbness" along with a new prickly tingling sensation which

was not present before.. similar to when my hand went to

sleep and wakes up again.

My Acid reflux has totally disappeared.
I am sleeping about one hour longer each night.
My energy levels are bit better throuhgout the day

My wife really surpised me. She is 50 and otherwise

healthy.

Her daily migraines she has had since childhood have gone

away ( some would last 2 days or more, sometime staying off

work). In the last 5 weeks she had only one attack.

Her Acid reflux has also disappeared as has mine.

And I lost 10 pounds ..

I don't know what this means but I think it's all good.

I rejected that Light Therapy" as a placebo effect after

reading through hours of Clinical trials by bona fide

doctors
I did see a well advertised on-line "Chousky Centre" in

Toronto ans was NOT impressed at all.. there main focus was

trying to lease to me a questionable Light Therapy Home

care kit for $2400 over a 90 day period. Their diagnosis of

my condition was a joke.

Never once attempted to discus the cause .. just offered me

their band aid Light therapy solution. That's all have to

say about that
That whole experience was extremely disapointing
