I ended up with neuropathy from chemo. It was bad enough that I would lie awake for hours every night because my entire body felt like I had been dipped in napalm and set on fire. My hands and feet were numb. Gabapentin had unpleasant effects on my brain (predominantly memory issues) so I needed to stop taking it just to keep from causing myself harm. I would forget to eat, sleep, take medicine, bathe, everything. I couldn't get through a single sentence without forgetting what I was saying, and why.
After stopping the Gabapentin, I suffered the effects of the neuropathy for about a month and a half before my memory cleared enough that I could think. Then did some research. I started taking benfothiamine, alpha-lipoic acid, and glutamine. I wasn't expecting it to take effect quickly... and it didn't, but it still kicked in faster than expected. Two weeks after starting, the nightly firestorm shortened down to two hours. Two weeks after that, I started feeling my fingers and the nightly trial had been reduced to about 45 minutes.
Within 8 weeks, the neuropathy had disappeared from my hands completely and I could feel most of my feet. The nightly fires had mostly disappeared. I still get occasional flareups, but they're often mild enough that I can sleep through it and only notice if I happen to be awake when they set in. At worst, it wakes me up for about half an hour.
The only permanent issue is a noticeable reduction in sensation in the front part of my foot from the ball to the side just behind the little toe. The bottoms of the toes themselves also have reduced sensation, but less noticeably. I'll probably have that for the rest of my life.
After 2 years, I was diagnosed with cancer again. I started the protocol even before I started chemo again. The neuropathy never got any worse. I think that if I had started this stuff before the first round of chemo, I wouldn't have had any permanent damage at all.
Thanks! Very helpful. Good luck!
Hope you get better and wishing you all good luck
Could you share with me the company of your Benfotiamine? Thank you! Lord bless you!May you always feel better
Could you text me the best source to get benfotiamine from and the cost
I suffer with neuropathy electric shock pains randomly throughout my body with burning and itching. i wouldnt take the gabapentin or amatryptaline from Gp i use 300mg of Benfotiamine daily and within 2 days i was feeling the relief..much less shock pains. i find if i forget to take it the pains come back but they work for me. thanks from UK
🇬🇧 Amazon UK, also ALA, reasonably priced too. Great for T2DM.
Thank you doctor for giving me an insight how the energy is produced inside the cell etc as most GPS don’t bother to look into it , just look at the symptoms not willing to investigate the causes
Thank you Doc.
i am male 73 yo,, I had a hemmoragic stroke 1 year ago.. i dropped to the floor like a bag of sand.. i went unconscious for only a couple of seconds an realised what happened.. i was able to call my wife who sat me up straight and got me to hospital within the hour.. no idea what happened there as i blanked out for 3 days..when i came to properly. i realised my whole left side was paralysed.. i c ould still speak.. but not clearly.. i returned home after a week in ICU.. i was bedridden.. a family friend knew of a Japanese product called
SOP( salmon Ovary peptide) Subaraci which helped him a lot.. so nothing to lose..
i tried it.. i was up and around in 5 days.. no paraylasis.. no pain.. .. i continued to improve and after 2 weeks i was back on the football team.. well no.. but i was completely normal.. for 6 months.. then I started getting tingling down my left side.. my left foot went totally numb on the bottom.. and pain.. oh yeah Pain in my left leg..the doc put me on a standard Antidepressant for the nerve pain.. it worked quite well.. but i started researching how to actually regenerate the damaged Brain cells and also stop the pain without drugs. So now
I take a product called Nervine.. it has Thiamine Nitrate 100 mg, Pyradoxine HCL 200 Mg and Cyanocobalamine. 200Mcg. I take 1 am and 1 pm.. also Alpha Lipoic Acid the NON R version.. as they are quite expensive.. also Vit D,K2.. along with Lions Mane Muschroom powder and Red Palm Oil.. all combined these meds cost only about $10-15 a month.. the pain has gone completely after ony 2 weeks.. My left arm and shoulder which had a lot of pain.. now Zero.. My leg pain is almost pain free and even the Numbness under my foot is going away. .. I am writing this to let you know.. try the Alpha Lipoic non R variety first before you dish out $60 a bottle.... Best wishes to all sufferers.. hope you all find a way to regain normal health..
I read the "R" ALA was the best version & cost more , but the "S" version ALA is synthetic ??
A good B Complex will always be good & JJ Virgins son was healed from massive brain injury with mega doses of Omega 3s!
Thank you😊
Hi, I read your comment and recommendations. Can you please tell me how to take these remedies. Please I would gladly appreciate it.
These seem to help a lot
praise be to thee Almighty
Thank
After four weeks of taking ALA it seems the nerve pain in my legs is getting less. The pain is due to a damaged back and nerves
I wonder how long it takes to feel better?
Is it available in the market?
What's the dosage how many times a day
Does it help with post operative pain and nerve pain/scar tissue ?
Hello everyone I agree with everything the doctor says I’ve been on this B supplement it’s a fat soluble b one vitamin Mine is for my pre-diabetic condition I went to Doctors for a long time and then explained I had burning and tingling in my hands and feet nobody want to do any simple test we don’t know I don’t have time for this I got finally I got the care I needed by basically bitching and I got what I needed my A-1 C was six point now I don’t know why you’re prediabetic would have a neuropathy I also have all the other diabetic symptoms including the frequent urination loss of vision dark spots irritability but most of it is now gone you can’t just take this supplement you must change your diet eliminate all sugar read all labels And no more than 20 g of carbohydrate per day it’s difficult but you can do it my A-1 C now is a 5.2 I feel great. Onto the next problem back pain. God bless you all
Thanks and well done! Do you take this Benfotiamine with or without food? Any other supplements?
@@ILOVE2FeelGOOD I have taken with and with out food. Yes other Suppliments also. It’s mainly your diet.
Keto is a real pain in the a**. I tried and I found it hard to keep up. For your lower back pain try vitamin d3 and k2. You can look around the internet for dosages but d3 5000iu and k2 (mk7 form) 250mg are the best dosages. If it is really bad I would double that dosage. This will also start to reduce plaque in your arteries. I'm taking x5 the dosage to clear arteries. X3 in the morning and x2 at night. I can feel it work.
I take bilberry and lutein for my eyesight, recommended to me by a doctor because of my prediabetes. It might help you with your vision.
@General Repair. Can you get cbd oil for pain ? I've been on it 3 years now . I don't know what I'd do without it . K

Hi Dr Darren
I suffer badly with the pain in my ankle after my operation 1 year ago.
I listened to your suggestion of Benfotiamine tablets to help my pain.
I stay in South Africa and the pharmacies that I asked for this medication either have never heard of this and don't know this name.
One pharmacy gave me Thiamine Hip 100 tablets.
Is this the same or can you advise me how to.get the Benfotiamine please
Esme Mostert
Sir i have only tingling symptoms can i eat benfotiamine tablet it's usefull for me???
I have diabetic neuropathy that has caused weakness and numbness in my fingers. It's distressing because I'm a guitar player. I've dissolved benfotiamine in DMSO, the safe, ultra skin penetrant .I've had great esults from doing the same with pirenzepine, the FDA approved ulcer medication that has shown the ability to reverse peripheral neuropathy as published in peer reviewed journals. It's a beak through drug that not only has shown wonderful results with animal models but is now in clinical trials at several major labs. One can buy pirenzepine from Japan and it's cheap.
I would love to know how to mix the two ( pirenzepine & DMSO) together. Such as how many mg pirenzepine to how much DMSO ? Is there a website that shows this ? I also play the guitar and love writing songs. But my neuropathy has now moved to my hands and as you have said its distressing to say the least.. If you could help me with the mixture of the two you would be making the day of a fellow guitar player . Thanks so much for your post.
Also I take nicotinamide Riboside 300mg a day. Does anyone know if this will interfere with the Benfotiamine if I choose to take that also ? Thanks again.
I ALSO AM A PRO GUITAR PLAYER WITH ANT MAG PERIPHEREL NEUROPATHY, I HAVE IT IN MY FEET AND SOME IN MY RIGHT GUITAR HAND DEPRESSING , I JUST GOT THE BENFOTAIME TODAY 7 28-22 WILL TRY PIRENZEPINE FROM JAPAN, HOW DO YOU ORDER IT THANKS.

Anyone prescribed this for IBS ?
Google "LDN for IBS". Also Dr.Paulvin.com.
I was about to ask the same
Any other supplement?
Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vit E
And with the vitamin E, make it tocotrienol, not tocopherol.
@@kamikwazi why not tocopherol ?
Can I get this benfotiamine in liquid form?? I could not swallow that large of a pill.
The 'Doctor's Best' brand makes very small capsules that have added Alpha Lipoic Acid (also helpful with neuropathy) as well. If you have issues with swallowing, or feeling a lump in your throat, look into toning your vagus nerve. There are simple exercises you can do at home.

I even heard others ppl get weird feeling after 1st visit but I can't trust to go again , p.s help
Chiropractors are quacks. I even had the women who worked there tell me it was all BS. I heard a chiro actually say "I can't believe people actually pay $50.00 for this" He referred to 50 bucks per visit.
Would this help to walk better? suffering from MS?
Protects insulation around the nerves. Exactly what shorts out signals with MS.
May not reverse damage but will help slow future damage.
Heat and stress are big enemies of MS.
Helps with feeling in toes and hands for diabetics too.
Ditching carbs and sugar is best solution if has not been ignored forever.
Great info on this short video.
You should try LDN for your MS. Google "The LDN Book" by Linda Elsegood. The author has MS and LDN saved her life.
@@kenjohnson7214 where do you get LDN from?
@@Mraymankarate it can be made at a compounding pharmacy. I got my Dr. to prescribe 50mg tablets. I dissolve one in 50mls of water and I use a syringe used for baby medicine to draw 5mls of the LDN water. 5mls=5mgs. A pill makes enough to last 10 days. After insurance it's less than $4.00 a month.

Yes, it is very good.

8 years i have been in pain my feet and ankles......help ,,,nothing works.
Did this help you
why does the DOCTOR never respond to your questions?
I have neuropathy ever since I had partially replacement on both inner parts of my knee. I have no pain but I do feel tingling and numbness at times. It’s hard to understand but my knees are very tight it feels like there’s a rubber band around my knees very stiff. I was told a couple years ago my orthopedic surgeon said that the numbness and the tightness will go away in time maybe two years. I still have it. I’ve been taking alpha lipoic acid, Benafedamine, berberine, turmeric, omega threes with D . I’ve been taking these for about three months now and it hasn’t helped yet. Now lately it feels like somebody is poking me with a pin in different parts of my legs . I also have tingling down to my feet.Could these new strange feelings be a sign of nerves healing. It’s just very strange sensations. Thanks
May be a good idea to be checked by a neurosurgeon for possible back problems. I had these same sensations before my back surgery, caused by sciatica from pinched nerves. Just a thought, but could be at the root of your problems.
@@jerrihardin9557 Thank you for your suggestion ! I just might have to do that . I have been having pain also in my lower back so maybe you could be right . I will look into it . I’m going crazy with this . So painful and annoying . Take care and Thank you for your comment !

I have spent months investigating reducing neuropathy naturally and found an awesome resource at Nats Neuro Site (google it if you are interested)
Good question because I'm taking it and not feeling the effects yet.
Benfotiamine is taken 4 x daily. See Dr. Berg videos on this topic
300 mg twice a day is a good start. Should see some effect (improvement) within 3 months or less.

I have terrible burning pain and sharp pins and needles in my THIGHS. . I NEVER here about Neuropathy in the upper legs ( thighs) just above the knees.. Can ANYBODY that has this problem , PLEASE ADVISE ME .. Could it be coming from from lower back joints as I have a degenerative spine and lack of cartilage. . THANKYOU
James: I am a Nurse Practitioner in the US with 25 years of experience. I am also a patient with spinal stenosis. I started out with thigh pain that I couldn't explain, then developed back pain. My symptoms got so bad that I was having trouble walking. I had extensive surgery which relieved the pain for 8 months. Now I have pain in my back and below my knees. I wish I could offer something more. I know some patients have benefited from additional surgery (Tiger woods had 5) but I wouldn't do that again. Find a good physiatrist or neurologist before deciding on surgery. Good luck.
how are you doing now? I have similar burning pains also in my thighs till below the knees. Nothing has helped. Did you do something that helped?
@@miteshjain3561 Thank you. . The only medicine that seems to alleviate the pain is Gabapentin (Neurontin) but only to some degree.. there is also Lyrical, but not everybody can get along with it as many side affects.. I find that Gabapentin is best for me and little side affects.. One should not suddenly stop taking as the pain will return with a vengeance. I hope this helps.. Also the new stem cell treatment may help , but this treatment is very new and I haven't yet tried , however it has helped my shoulder and recent neck pain , so my doctor will give it a try for my back when I visit again next week.. The treatment is said to be revolutionary and not so expensive in Turkish hospitals. I am an English man living in Türkiye and I'm not sure of the cost in Europe or the USA

I have learnt to live with the pain but as I get older it is more severe and now finding that I can't walk so fast but walking in moderation does help. They tell me I have herniated discs in my spine L2, 3 , 4 and 5 I think and recent neck pain too from herniated (C) joints. . Generally my skeleton system is suffering from degeneration of cartilage and joint wear.. I do not wish surgery unless absolutely essential later.. I think it could be risky... I certainly have found that the recent stem cell treatment on my neck has reduced the pain and told it will further improve over time.. Take care
The role of diet should not be ignored. Avoid insulin producing grains plus dairy and high carb vegetables.
Spot on.
PN is caused by excess blood sugar which erodes the Myelin Sheath covering the nerves in the fingers and toes. It's usually a sign of diabetes and can be fixed with diet. I should know, I have it.

i were looking for Benfotiamine in South Africa for more than 3 years, but couldn't find any. i was told the product was discontinued locally. Is there any other product that might contain the same ingredients or even a generic that i can look for?
Alfa leopic Acid
The company below is in South Africa and they sell it. I bought mine 10 days ago but you need a prescription from a doctor. I asked the doctor for a 6 months repeat. They are not cheap do I bought 3 for now which should last me for 6 month (120 per botlle) 300mg and I'm going to use the same prescription before the 6 months is through to buy another 3 bottle. Make sure to take it with alpha lipioc acid for better effect. My nerves are definitely function better and I've only been taking it for a week.
healthylifecapetown.co.za/?s=Benfotiamine
I live in Canada and I order this from "iHerb". They are in the United States and deliver to over 150 countries. The website says they deliver to South Africa. Their prices are very good and I can order things I can't get in Canada. Certain things may be listed on their website, but if it's a banned product in your country they may or may not complete the order. I can buy all different forms of potassium in powder or crystals from iHerb, but in Canada you can only buy potassium in 99mg pills. However, they won't sell me vitamin D3 in anything over 1000iu because, for whatever reason, that's the maximum dose you are allowed to sell in Canada.

I am facing similar thing but due to chemotherapy and radiation. Did anything help you ?
Number one cause of neuropathy (and not mentioned)... spinal disc disease. In many cases if you do not fix the stenosis or the disc herniation you are only treating symptoms and the neuropathy returns as soon as you stop taking the medications.
Exactly me first suffer tron Lss and then feet burning.

@@deepapatil3886 what is that?
That's my problem my back almost came out like three times already will it be about once and I had to believe my numbness in my toes are from that. Maybe diabetes helped. I do haven't spinal stenosis too.
add statins to your list of medications causing neuropathy. That happened to me. Stop taking and neuropathy gets better then start taking again and neuropathy gets worse. Right now am not taking any statins and recently started taking benfotiamine and can feel sensitivity on feet now.
what is the use to watch and listen to such doctor-just waste of time and hope?!! Why you don't tell how to take the pill? With or without food?On empty stomach? What is the use of making video 3 minutes without guideline 30 seconds?
Alcohol as a cause ?????
Most definitely!! Bad diet and excessive alcohol abuse ( big style! ) left me with nerve damage in my feet and lower limbs Peripheral Neuropathy. Prescribed 300mg of Pregabalin twice daily. Terrible drug. So hard to get off. Did nothing for the pain but helped me sleep. If you’re going to drink a lot ( bad idea), then EAT a lot , even if it’s just leafy green vegetables. The Ethanol will kill the nerves anyway so just don’t drink!
Did nothing for me. Scam
I started feel tingling,electric shock but no numbness,
I HAD ALREADY Benfotiamin,tocotrienols E,
Alpha lipoid acid, but not yet taking them,,
For safety reason .
