[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1423650, member: 160246"] Listening to the peripheral neuropathy interview now. At 27:07 minutes he states that they stopped using benfotiamine, a form of vitamin B1, the first year they used it with patients [I]because it made some patient's symptoms worse[/I]. He also mentions vitamin B6 toxicity. (He attributes this to genetic differences that researchers are just beginning to understand). One topic I'd hoped they'd discuss, but didn't was the importance of the "Association of [I]MTHFR[/I] gene C677T mutation with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and diabetic retinopathy". Here's a link... [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3724957/[/URL] I've been thinking for a couple of weeks now that I need to stop taking my B-complex in addition to my multi-vitamin and mineral supplement which likely contains all the B vitamins I need (which I did last week). I've also been thinking that I need to have my homocysteine level checked - (high levels also contribute to cardiovascular disease). The more I learn, the more I'm discovering that there are a lot of tests that I've not had done that are important for those of us wishing to avoid the complications of diabetes. Not sure what to think about Dr. Hayes. His physical appearance and statement that diabetics need to eat every three hours to maintain stable blood sugar levels tells me he's understands some things, but not the low carb or low carb ketogenic diet piece. [Edit: I was wrong. He is using the low carb diet with patients... [URL]http://neuropathydr.com/neuropathy-treatment-diet-plan/[/URL] ] I am impressed that he's licensing centers to use their evaluation and treatment methods which includes a nutritional supplement formula and specialized equipment that they had built for patients. He also wrote with the support of the American College of Physical Medicine Chicago a board certification program in neuropathy for licensed healthcare practitioners. It's an important beginning.
