Is there a treatment for chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy?

Hello,
For neuropathy in general, I recommend Benfotiamine, the fat-soluble form of vitamin B1. Benfotiamine is very beneficial for diabetic and other neuropathies in doses from 200-600 mg/day, with greater improvement at the higher doses.1, 2 I would also add a broad-spectrum high-dose B-complex to this regimen.
In addition, a combination of alpha-lipoic acid, in a daily dose of about 1,000 mg,3 and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) (2,400 mg/day), may also help. NAC is a precursor of the body’s “master antioxidant,” glutathione, and has been used to prevent neuropathy from neurotoxic chemotherapy regimens.4
Finally, I suggest the use of pulsed electromagnetic therapy (PEMF)5 or DiaPulse treatment.6-8 Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a DiaPulse instrument in the clinic, but I have seen it work wonders in many cases of chronic, intractable neuropathies.
