Neuropathy Reversed In Two Steps

The medical system seems to finally be realizing what I’ve been teaching for years.

It’s quite easy to reverse neuropathy!

A new published in the journal Obesity enrolled 131 study participants into a simple two-step plan and saw drastic improvements in their neuropathy—all without any drugs or other medical interventions.

The authors of this study knew that obesity contributes to neuropathy. From previous studies, they also knew that diabetics self-reported an improvement in their neuropathy symptoms after dietary weight loss.

Previous studies have also found that good blood sugar control is a treatment for neuropathy. In other words, keeping your diabetes under control will improve your neuropathy symptoms.

But they wanted to know whether weight loss through diet changes could also treat neuropathy for people without diabetes. They decided to take physiological measures of neuropathy severity instead of relying only on people’s self-reports.

They recruited 131 obese participants with an average age of 50.

The subjects were recruited as they presented for a medical weight-management program that involved a healthy diet. They were followed for two years while doing so.

Step 1: For the first three months, their diet was heavily calorie-restricted, at only 800 calories per day.

Step 2: For the remaining two years, they were switched to a diet of 1,200–1,500 daily calories.

During these two years, they lost an average of 12.4 kilograms, which may not sound like much—but remember that the program did not include a physical exercise component.

After the two years, the scientists performed a whole range of studies that yielded some promising results:

1. Their intraepidermal nerve fiber density did not change, meaning that their neuropathy had stabilized.

2. Their nerve induction did not change, also showing that their neuropathy had stabilized.

3. They showed a large improvement on tests that measured their reactions to stimuli like heat, cold, and touch.

4. All of their metabolic measurements like blood sugar and cholesterol improved, with the exception of blood pressure.

5. They improved on the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument, which includes questions on symptoms and a medical examination of reflexes and physical responses to vibrations.

6. They reported an improvement in symptoms and quality of life on two questionnaires.

This means that dietary weight loss can treat neuropathy even in people without diabetes.

The most important finding of this study is that neuropathy can be reversed using diet and lifestyle changes.

But you don’t have to restrict your diet drastically to do that. In fact, you can eat all you want and completely heal your neuropathy if you only follow the simple, natural procedure explained here…
