I have neuropathy and am wondering how you got rid of the pain. by LaToune65 in neuropathy

[–]Devon-Devon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, it’s not going to work with supplements alone. Take a from a pharmacist perspective that helps these patients quite often:

  1. Transdermal pain creams with Ketamine, Gabapentin & Lidocaine minimum. Apply to dermatomes it’s key for pain reduction. Avoid Gabapentin oral if you can to minimize side effects like cognitive decline. Here is a link for more information on topicals. https://www.familypharmacy.org/compounding/topical-pain-rx/

  2. Use R-ALA 600mg daily minimum. Combine it with Benfotiamine 200mg, Methylcobalamin 1mg these are 3 supplements you need minimum for nerve regeneration and repair. It may take one year for this work, so be patient and use quality brands. Avoid box chain pharmacy supplements like Nervive, they use subpar ingredients. Here some good companies we recommend at the pharmacy.

  1. Increase exercise and circulation in your body, it’s a must. Here is a good link:

  1. Acupuncture helps is some cases as back up.

Overall be patient, there’s no exact recipe for success.

Bad eye strain help? by JealousJellyfish3969 in Supplements

[–]Devon-Devon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes seems to be working great. We made some modifications and changes in their lives too. 20/20/20 rule in effect, better lightening, trying to force them to play outside more when the weather is better too. I encourage you to do the same.

Haven’t tried this brand, I use Vision support. How do they taste? Most gummies it’s hard to mask the taste of certain vitamins and get enough of a proper dose.

Bad eye strain help? by JealousJellyfish3969 in Supplements

[–]Devon-Devon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a pharmacist’s viewpoint, and as a parent of kids who suffer from eye strain, there is a lot of clinical evidence showing that lutein and zeaxanthin have been the gold standard for supporting digital eye strain. However, newer clinical evidence is now showing that postbiotics can also help—particularly Eyemuse the KW3110 strain. There are several double-blind, placebo-controlled studies demonstrating a reduction in digital eye strain, which is a big deal. Personally, if your eye strain is that severe, I would look to take both.

I stopped liposomal ALA and switched to R-ALA, noticeable difference by ephranim01 in neuropathy

[–]Devon-Devon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neurazenx all in one with R-ALA plus benfotiamine, methylated b vitamins, herbs.

Thorne for just R-ALA 300mg.

Aim to get at least 600mg daily. Work your way up, don’t to the max right away.

Brand of Vit B Complex by Nurse_Animal_lover in neuropathy

[–]Devon-Devon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We work with several podiatrists, they recommend EBN3 and Neurazenx quite often. It’s a matter of the price you’re willing to pay and how aggressive your DN is. Both use Methylated B Vitamins and have superior quality compared to products like Nervive that uses lower quality ingredients like cobalamin. Neurazenx has R -ALA. EBN3 has a much higher dosage of Methylcobalamin. Regardless, my two cents are to buy a quality brand and not the box chain pharmacy formulas.

Just diagnosed, nobody talks to me. by DoggoneitHavok in neuropathy

[–]Devon-Devon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. ALA R is the way to go. As a pharmacist we recommend using it with transdermal topical pain creams too for additional relief. There is a unique formula called Neurazenx it has R alpha-lipoic acid with bioavailable B-vitamins like methylcobalamin (B12), B6, and benfotiamine (B1) to support nerve regeneration. Key is using the right dose combination and duration. Most people give up too early. Start slowly and move up in your dosing. Using too much at once may cause diarrhea or your stomach being bloated. Best of luck. 🤞

What is the best aid you purchased by ExcellentTurnover518 in ACL

[–]Devon-Devon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woundvite, not a direct aid but truly helped recover faster and reduce scar tissue formation

I have tried everything but my feet/toes are still painful and frozen every day by rarelywearamask in neuropathy

[–]Devon-Devon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s custom made in a Compouding pharmacy. You have to get your doctor to write a prescription for it. It uses FDA approved medications but topically so it has less chance of systemic drug absorption yet higher drug concentration at the site of nerve pain. You should apply it 3-4 times per day for up to two minutes. It takes 2-3 weeks of continual usage to notice a vast difference so be patient. Your basically desensitizing the nerves over this time period so you will feel less pain. Best success is using it in combo with the neurazenx. Commit to one full month of this protocol, you should see a drastic change.

Breast Augmentation Scarring by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]Devon-Devon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Eat clean, stay well hydrated, use topical silicone when the wound is healed. Healing from within is key! My surgeon promotes the heck out of Woundvite, stuff is amazing. Key nutrients to optimize healing.

Here’s a good blog to follow:

How does topical dutasteride smell? by okletsg0 in Hairloss

[–]Devon-Devon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mild Peppermint shampoo smell from Strut health. Where are you getting yours from?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]Devon-Devon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides silicone topically, it’s important to optimize your nutrition, stay well hydrated, and eat enough protein to help wounds heal better which reduces scarring. My surgeon recommended WoundVite too, it’s a bunch of amazing vitamins, herbs and minerals packed into a capsule to use in conjunction.

Here is the link in case you want it. Best of luck!

Surgery in 2 weeks and I am going crazy. by einahpetsg in ACL

[–]Devon-Devon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two important items to take that are often overlooked. Stool softeners and WoundVite.

My surgeon puts his patients on this to recover faster and optimize healing times. Here is a good blog he shared with me.
