nerve damage

trans4mation2005 · 12-03-2009, 10:08 AM

I have T2 diabetes.. and I noticed 2-3 years ago that I had no hair on my legs.. my doctor said nerve damage, but recently I have noticed hair on the lower 3-4 inches and from the knee down about 6 inches..

was she wrong? or have I reversed some of the damage?

Russell,

Now if the growth would've been at the other extreme, the Rogaine Minoxidil guys would like to hear about it.....

On a more serious note, that's good news I'd imagine? Pass it on to your MD and see what the consensus is?

Dr. Larry McCleary says that until a nerve cell is actually dead, they can recover. He gives lots of hope, and a list of specific supplements in his book, The Brain Trust Program.

Dr. Bernstein talks of reversing neuropathy in his book, too.
