Natural treatments for peripheral neuropathy
 

Anyone out there find relief from peripheral neuropathy pain with any natural supplements? Thanks sk:rolleyes:

Neuracel
 

Specifically, has anyone tried Neuracel?

And....drum roll, only $100+ a bottle! for 4 herbs!

No thank you.

We get so many patent medicine "remedies"on this forum, and most of them are sketchy.

I had a real battle finding the ingredients too.

At this price it could be the top most expensive "remedy" ever
discussed here.

Be aware that you will see a push for this as they are having
a new PR release about it.

If you can afford it go ahead... Make sure none of the herbs are
listed on a drug checker as interfering with any medications you
are taking. And don't sign up for automatic future sendings, as that is a racket.

Because I looked it up, Facebook already has put ads for it on my hubby's page today!

Were you able to find the ingredients, mrsD? I looked all over their site and wasn't able to. My understanding is that companies are supposed to tell you that info before you buy, but I didn't see it.

Given that there's 100-300 different causes for PN (depending on who's counting), I am dubious when reading the claim that their "Ultimate neuropathy support system is an all in one treatment for neuropathy."

Sk, you might look at some of the threads on here about supplement regimens people have tried. In the Vitamin B12 sticky (at the top of the thread list), there's a post (by mrsD) with links to some relavant threads. (post is at http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post987094-585.html)

It lists 4 herbs in the discussion, but I could not find a label copy with exact ingredients for this product.

That makes it very very untrustworthy IMO.

I searched its website creation also, when checking out things.
That website is very new Feb 13, and the trademark was given
in Mar 13... so this product is very very new, or a regenerated new name for an old product. That I could not identify and gave up with. I tried to find an old product regenerated because I recognized one fellow on a YouTube... but I just cannot place him from the past. :rolleyes:

Anyone can search website creation using Whois domain searches.

Hi,
Yesterday my sister sent me a link for Neuracel, telling me to check out there site. I came on here to see if anyone else had heard of it or tryed it and found this post.
Neuracel has a section called: Neuracel Review – Does it work? Ingredients and Effectiveness. (I do not know how to get that link here). I think these may be the 5 ingredients or natural Herbs that MrsD mentioned: Neuracel – The Five Natural Herbs: Corydalis, Lobelia, Passion Flower, California Poppy, Prickly Ash Bark.
Also:
Neuracel and Its Claims
As the name suggests, the Ultimate Neuropathy Support System has been created with the sole purpose of helping patients live with neuropathy by minimizing the symptoms that it brings. Not only does the product help alleviate pain, but it also strengthens the nerves and restores them back to their original condition. Neuracel claims that regular use of the Neuracel’s Ultimate support system can aid in completely eliminating the pain associated with neuropathy within 2 months.

The Final Verdict
The hysteria surrounding innovative medical products has made people reluctant to simply spend their money on new products. However, Neuracel’s Ultimate support system is a product that has shown a lot of promise. Despite not being extensively used, Neuracel uses natural herbs which have no side effects at all.

Wow! They are making big claims! "completely eliminating the pain"..I wish this were true. (Your right it is very pricey, I wonder if it really works).
What do you think MrsD ? anyone else?

Thanks for the "review", but I think it is a cleverly disguised AD.

There were a slew of herbal mixes made by a company a while back...all were bogus and made huge claims like this one does.

I found a blog by a mother who exposed them as a fraud. The link might even be here in the early years of NT.

I have a feeling -- a deja vu thing-- about the lobelia...in it.
I think this is the same thing, renamed and making another attempt to lure desperate people to buy it.

The word "cure" appears in that link... a huge hint to AVOID this product.

I don't think anyone here was fooled, or that it was very clever at all -- just helping Marie out in providing the link so others could get a good laugh... :rolleyes: :D

Whenever, I see something that says it can cure Neuropathy it throws up a red flag for me. I don't believe anyone that makes that claim.

It is unbelievable to me how people can be so cruel to play on the pain of others for monetary gain.

I tried to order a free 14 day trial bottle they offer with a $6.49 shipping fee. Of course to finalize the order, they make you go through 6 pages of extra products they're trying to sell. I was very careful about clicking on the "No thank you" at the bottom of each page, and then my order was finalized. But when I got my order confirmation, they had charged me $136.90 for 3 bottles!
I then spent about 40 mn. on the phone talking to a supervisor to make sure EVERYTHING was cancelled. I have no idea if the product is any good or not because I will not do business with any company who tries to pull this crap to sell all their stuff. I will stick to my R Alpha Lipoic Acid and vitamin B regiment which does seem to work.

After much research, I decided to try R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid and a str0ng vitamin B regimen. It does help, but I've come to the conclusion there are no magic bullets.

If you're sensitive to nightshades, eliminating them from your diet will ease the pain a lot, especially (for me) potatoes, tomatoes, peppers.

Yes, it is quite amazing that nightshades can hurt so much!
I think it is the solanine in them. Perhaps some research will appear in the near future about this alkaloid, and what it does to people! Tomatoes you know were thought to be poisonous at one time historically.

The above article led me—eventually—to this one: Tainted tomato led to arthritis, which in turn led me to wonder if the tomato's "poisonous" rep couldn't possibly have been fueled by something similar in those olden times—someone becoming (violently) ill and/or dying after consuming contaminated tomatoes (reminescent of that whole ergotism/witch-hunt business which, incidentally, occurred during the same era/region). :Ponder: :Doh:

A.k.a. "Love Apples", "Golden Apples", "Wolf Peaches", "Moor Apples".... tomatos have a fascinating (his/her)story.... :D

Doc

I don't know about the other ingredients but lobelia is poisonous and can cause cardiac arrythmias.

I, like most with PN have thrown a lot of money at an attempt to feel better but any product with press release headings like: "Neuracel Promises to Cure Neuropathy By the Reversal of Nerve Damage" is in my opinion, BS at very best.

Supplements that claim to cure PN are scams and should be investigated by the FTC.

I have tried Neuracel and found that it worked for me to limit foot pain but because it caused headaches I was forced to stop. In my case, if any product says headaches might be a side effect, I'll be the one who will get them. I think this product for most will be a good try.
