--- Re: Neuropathy of the feet of type II
My dad is Type 2 and he has developed neuropathy in the past few years. My sister found a company somewhere in northwest US that received an approval from the FDA to produce Near Infrared Light Therapy units for use by people with Diabetes. There is science that supports the reversal of neuropathy using 890nM infrared light and this company builds these things for that purpose. They are expensive. As I recall $3,000 to $5,000 each. My dad's doctor tried to get him one but my dad's insurance company dragged their feet for 3 months before turning him down on covering the cost of the unit. I have an electronics background so I located the 890nM LED's from an electronics supply company and built him one. He's been using it for about 3 months and he said he no longer gets the painful tingling in his toes. He uses it in the evening when he sits and watches TV. I made it with two seperate pads of LED"s and a velcro strap that lets him strap a pad to each foot. If you have a relative who is handy with a soldering iron it can be done pretty easlily and for under a few hundred dollars.

Have you heard of Tahitian Noni? I work with several MDs and we seeing results from this product. It is a natural fruit juice from Tahiti that the natives have been using for over 2000 years. It works! Many patients are leveling out their sugars and reducing their insulin. It seems to be permanent as well. To Educate yourself on this go to www.noni.com/markp or www.tni.com/markp For testimonials from other diabetics that are using this go to: www.incc.org > My dad is Type 2 and he has developed neuropathy in the past few years.
