Nutrients for Neuropathy

by John A. Senneff
MedPress (San Antonio, Texas) 2003

For people with HIV/AIDS living on pins and needles, This this research-packed crammed guide to natural supplements for peripheral neuropathy (PN) should be a welcome friend tothe perfect cushion HIVers tired of living on pins and needles. A sequel to Senneff’s Numb Toes and Aching Soles and Numb Toes and Other Woes (both reviewed in previous issues of The Positive Side), this one edition lacks HIV-chapters specific to HIVchapters (though Senneff Senneff does cite studies on how nutritional supplements affect PHAs). And though Though youyou also won’t find info on how supplements interact with HIV meds, or advice specifically for the HIV positive, as a PN’er himself, Senneff , a PN’er himself, knows the terrain. (Be sure to tell your doctor about any supplements you plan to take.) The reader-friendly descriptions of antioxidants, minerals and herbs, and how they strengthen nerve function, should soothe just about everyone.
is sure to help provide relief for anyone.
