So the old formula didn't work eh? This is the second go round?

Quote:

Active Ingredients (homeopathic)

Aconitum napellus 12C, Hypericum 12C, Lycopodium 12C, Phosphorus 12C, Rhus toxicodendron 12C, and Secale cornutum 12C.



Inactive Ingredients

Bergamot Oil, Ethyl alcohol, Eucalyptus Oil, Geranium Oil, Lavender Oil), and Tea Tree Oil

from http://www.drlamb.com/neuragen.htm

Still has the geranium in it.

This is a link to explain homeopathy:

The 12C dilution?
Quote:

Hahnemann advocated 30C dilutions for most purposes (that is, dilution by a factor of 1060).[60] In Hahnemann's time it was reasonable to assume that remedies could be diluted indefinitely, as the concept of the atom or molecule as the smallest possible unit of a chemical substance was just beginning to be recognized. We now know that the greatest dilution that is reasonably likely to contain one molecule of the original substance is 12C.
Alot of money for this, IMO. So the readers here, beware.

And that paper was published on May 10 of this year. hmmmmm?

silas you know more about neuragen in its current and former forms, its history and its studies as well as guarantees than i know about anything i have ever taken. you are very passionate on this subject. ok to stop beating around the bush and to get right to the point i have the sneaking suspicion that you work for them.

Neuragen stinks
 
I tried this and wasted my money. Wish I had read Mrs. D's and other's posts
before I purchased it 6 or 9 months ago. The ingredients are so watered down I don't see how it could help anyone. All I got was a smelly foot.
Look up homeopathic on wikipedia before you try it.

Neuragen stinks
 
They might as well have called it Neutragena:

Although I am predominently motor, I have excruciating foot pain with even light touch. I use plain old mint foot cream to massage my toes. It hurts like heck to do this, screaming pain in fact, but after they feel better and cooler. My take on this: 1. it's like hitting myself with a hammer and feels so good to stop. 2. The pain from the message releases my endorphines and I get some relief. 3. I believe it helps and I am doing something positive, there for I feel better. 4. Like your mom using Vick's Vapo Rub on you as a child, it is somewhat comforting to treat yourself well and again touch releases lots of feel good hormones.

BTW I also rub Vicks into my feet and that helps to, for the above reasons.

I know this is very old but I am hoping you are still around. My Mom uses Neuragen PN and it works VERY well for her. However, at $30 a bottle, its not feasible. Do you think if we mixed it with unscented baby oil that it would work in a spray bottle? You cannot touch her feet at all.

Hi. Neuragen did nothing for my husband Alan's PN but I'll tell you what helps with the burning. He went to Walgreens and got a Methol spray (it's located where the Ben Gay would be located). It's 16% Menthol.

He said "wow, this helps with the burning"

And I agree, at $30 a pop, it's way over priced. Have you ever thought of writing to the company and asking for free samples? You never know.

Hi Shellie,

Yes, the manufacturer staes that you can dilute the product with mineral oil or olive oil. The larger format is a spray bottle, so spraying it should work.

Hope it works for you.

Silas.

I wrote to the company today about their prices and asked if I could mix it with something. I hope to hear from them soon. I wish she could take the prescription medications but they all seem to interact with her glaucoma. This stuff is the only thing we have found that works so far. And no, I don't work for Origin Biomed. :)

I will definitely try the spray though. Did it help with the stabbing pains too? She has no sensation in her feet for walking but if you brush them, even gently, she is in agony. I want to help so bad. I hope you have found something that works for your husband.
