Question: Am I on the right track by taking B12 and other vitamins?


Hi Christopher,

I have Peripheral Poly Neuropathy, which is all my peripheral nerves have been damaged due to surgeries that I have had. Am I on the right track by taking B12 and other vitamins? Thanks so much for your help.

n.d., female, age 56

Answer: n.d.,

The B-12 that you are taking will not harm any of your peripheral nerves. Your nerves have gone to sleep because they have been temporarily deprived of oxygen (hypoxia). This condition can be corrected with the use of a specific form of electrical stimulation.

Your physician can refer you to someone who uses these treatments. A transcutaneous electro-nerve stimulator (TENS Unit) may also be helpful.
