Does anyone know or has heard about a cure for neuropathy in the feet? There are hundreds of medical quacks throughout the nation and “neuropathy centers” who claim to have discovered a cure for this insidious disease. It is not an outright killer, but the constant pain in the bottoms of the feet prevents the person to use his feet, thereby rendering him lame after years because of the disuse of his limbs. Elderly people are prone to fall and break bones because their instability. I have come to the point where I think that the only solution for this problem is foot amputation and replacement with prostatic feet. Has any FReeper heard of a solution for easing the Pain? It is said that 20% of diabetics suffer from neuropathy in the feet.

Is it from diabetes or B12 deficiency? If the latter, I’d start supplementing B12 immediately, maybe through injectibles. If you have diabetes or pre diabetes, I would go as low carb as possible and aim for a fully ketogenic diet. This article says (no need to listen, just scroll down for transcript) that two months on a keto diet can eliminate neuropathy. Kresser knows his stuff.

As Yaelle said, check out the keto diet. It will put your your diabetes into remission and greatly reduce inflammation which should help with your pain. I've lost 100 pounds, lost 30pt of high blood pressure and went from per-diabetic to normal in 8 months on the diet.

Also: don't pay anyone for keto, it's simply a low carb/high fat diet. Everything you need for it can be found for free online and at the local grocery store.
