Mostly quite good, except... by alimrobb (Seattle, WA USA)  4 Stars

Most nutrients he mentions will help most people with PN. But there is one to beware of. Alpha lipoic acid is actually a great antioxidant and has been shown to be helpful in short term studies for PN pain. The problem is that if you have heavy metal toxicity (mercury) you need to be very very careful. ALA can definitely cross the blood brain barrier, and it can also bind to mercury, i.e., it is a chelator. If there is a lot of mercury in your body, as from mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth that are constantly releasing mercury, ALA can take more of it into your brain, and will likely bring on worsening of symptoms. To prevent this, it needs to be dosed on the chemical half life (which is 3 to 4 hours), and started at low doses. It typically doesn't make you worse until several months of use, (and this is why short term studies don't pick it up)thus it is difficult to make the connection. It happened to me, and it took me a long time to figure things out. For more info read Amalgam Illness by chemist Andrew Cutler PhD, or join the free Yahoo health discussion group frequent-dose-chelation.

Good, but a bit too technical for the average layman (I am an R.N.)

Good Reference by D. Tal (Illinois, USA)  5 Stars
November 10, 2006
This is an excellent book. The author,who has neuropathy, puts together a good listing of clinical trials involving vitamins and minerals, mostly in Europe and Asia. He successfully tries to be objective - he is not a medical person, and does not pretend to be one. Listing of clinical trial results does not take a medically trained person and so this doesn't bother me. Towards the end he does list a couple of vitamin and mineral programs that he put together as recommendations. Again, these are based on the clinical trial results.

Nutrients for Neuropathy by Roy S. Clements (UK)  3 Stars
October 14, 2005
Some more usual information for neuropathy sufferers laid out in an easy to understand and follow format. This book in the series does not have so many other personal case histories as the other two publications and was not as useful to me.

EXCELLENT! by Ruth F. Anderson (Maryland) 5 Stars
April 24, 2005
This book, gave me the knowlege to go to my Dr and tell him I was not going to take anymore perscriptions as no matter what i had been taking, including, neurontin, messed my brain up even though it might have helped with the pain. I noticed how so many said vitamin B was such a help and I am now using vitamins to combat my problem. Thank you for putting the book together and giving us hope that we are not alone in this fight within our own bodies. The Dr's comment with a smile was"Congratulations, you've graduated! You don't need to come back for six months"
