Default Web it up yourself!

$30. bucks before S&H for a .1something ounce/gram 'bottle'? TEENY! Save your money.. Read the ingredients... Nothing miraculous there either.
Here is what All there is on their supposed clinical trials:
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=neurogen
I am not vibrating with anticipation. It'd be widespread word out already if it really worked. At least they are trying?

I'd save the money for prescriptions or FOOD these days! - j

I clicked on the link but it doesn't mention using it topically for neuropathic pain.

It just says that they are recruiting for a clinical trial for Parkinson, Restless leg syndrome, and Insomnia.

We're not buying it.

If it were THAT good, it would be on 20/20.

P.S. Are we talking about the same product? On the link you gave it said Neurogen. In the ad I have in front of me it is spelled Neuragen. It gives the link www.neuragen.com

Default Googled it

Melody,
I googled it and the first hit that came up said it had been around since 1996. If this stuff worked it would be advertised in every magazine and doctor's office. And the company would have been bought out and marketed as a drug. I'm not buying it.

Default I webbed it up

ON NIH just as YOU spelled it. Go figger?

Predators exist everywhere. IF you look up their web site? The list of ingredients isn't all that impressive. Even tho they call it 'proprietary'.
If you buy that, I know of a few horse linaments that have similar ingredients that are much cheaper and far more readily available! At least I know the linaments have been used on sensitive skinned animals for decades? You can buy a quart/plus for the price of this stuff. I've tried the linaments too, and they don't work for PN tho...at least not the kind I have? - j

Wise word... bury it?

Lightbulb just geranium oil...

we discuss geranium oil here:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...t=geranium+oil

It is available as geranium oil at iherb.com by NOW for about
$10.00 for 30ml.

Listed also on the label is St.John's wort in 3X dilution.
Quote:
A remedy that is diluted 1:10, involves one part of the remedy to 9 parts of the diluent (which is usually a 20% alcohol water solution). This 1: 10 dilution is called a 1X dilution. Making another 1:10 of the first 1X is called 2X. Doing it again makes it 3X.

So why on earth would Geranium Oil work on PN pain? My goodness. Thirty Bucks for a teeny little bottle. I asked the pharmacist (because you can return EVERYTHING to CVS), I asked her "if we are not satisifed with this product, can we return it?" and she shook her head and said: "no, if you open it, you keep it".

I looked at her and said "we don't want it, you keep it".

She laughed.

Question There is

There is a patent in place for geranium oil.

It supposedly works somewhat...but I wonder why we don't hear more about it.

We sure hear about Lyrica!

Let's see if I have this straight. I can go into a florist, (or wherever one goes to buy Geranium Oil), and I buy some, and Alan massages it on his toes, and his PN will go away??

Is this possible?? Because, although Alan's PN is nowhere near the level it was years ago, he still has his moments. He would try this in a heartbeat if it has a chance of working. (The geranium oil i mean, NOT THE $30 BOTTLE OF THE STUFF).

My Mother has had neuropathy in her hands and feet forever. They have put her on every kind of med imaginable. Nothing seemed to help and she had all kinds of side effects. Recently she ordered a cream for her condition called MagniLife diabetic foot cream - she is not diabetic - and it has worked better than anything she has ever tried. She rubs it on her feet and hands and said that it is the only thing that has given her any kind of relief and she has actually slept through the night. Amazing! My Dad doesn't understand why they can't make this in some kind of prescription because it's over $20 for 4 oz of the cream. I say, hey, if it works, just buy it in bulk as nothing else has ever worked. I'm just so glad that she has finally found something that has given her some relief. I have chronic neck pain and if I found something that worked for me, I wouldn't be without it!

I wonder if anyone on this forum has ever tried this cream?
