How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Peripheral Neuropathy?
Mainstream medicine's approach to peripheral neuropathy is gabapentin and a diabetes lecture.
Burning feet at 2 a.m. Numb fingers. B12 if you're lucky. EMG if you're not. Then: live with it. The nerves are treated as a finished crime scene. The supply line that feeds them is not.

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Peripheral Neuropathy?
Commonly missed root causes of peripheral neuropathy include poor blood flow, nutrient starvation, toxins, nerve compression, and the B12-and-glucose picture.
Tingling is a nerve that is ischemic, starved, toxic, or compressed. A seizure-med for pain can dull the night. It does not restore myelin, blood flow, or the B12-and-glucose math that let the axon fail. "Idiopathic neuropathy" often means the second-pass labs were never ordered.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why are your nerves failing at the ends?
