Handbook of Peripheral Neuropathy (A Blessing of Information)
I've been searching forever for a comprehensive book that didn't cost more than $30, but goes into detail, but is readable by a layperson.

Innovative Medical Technology!
Rhodes' therapy is unique! Inspiring new approaches and challenging old theories.Read this book to find out what you've missed so far.Come on down to South Texas to find out what's next!!

This information is life changing.
This information needs to be made public.It sounds too good to be true, but it is true.I am a patient of Dr. Rhodes and have seen him help so many patients with chronic pain as well as other hard to treat diseases.Many of these patients had no hope with traditional medicine but are back to living normal lives.

Removal of pain and restoration of whole body
I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering with chronic pain or who has a loved one suffering with chronic pain.This book explains the help you will find under the care of only one physician, Dr. Rhodes.After beginning treatment with Dr. Rhodes in the winter of 2009 for two of our children, they have been restored to the highest quality of life that Dr. Rhodes works to achieve in each of his patients. Our kids are able to do all the things that they love to do. We sought out Dr. Rhodes' treatment because it is pain-free, drug-free, and completely non-invasive.As a parent of a child with Reflex Sympathetic Dystropy we believe Dr. Rhodes is our best option we have for total healing.

If you have pain, you need to read this book
If you have pain, you need to read this book and contact Dr. Rhodes.My daughter has RSD (now in remission), and we went to Dr. Rhodes for treatment.She went from not being able to walk or write (RSD was in both hands and feet) to 100% remission.She has her life back, and I give Dr. Rhodes full credit for saving her life.This might sound too good to be true, but I assure you every single word is the truth.If you suffer from chronic pain, read this book.You will be glad you did.

Thank goodness for Dr Rhodes
My son is currently a patient of Dr Rhodes. Dr Rhodes has saved my child from a horrible diesase. This man is way ahead of his time. Thank goodness I was open-minded enough to pursue this treatment. ... Read more

Product Description
Neuropathy is one of the most common diseases of the nervous system. It affects millions of people. Despite the fact that neuropathy is a common and devastating disease, few effective treatments are available for the neuropathy patient. New treatment ideas in the form of integrative neurology, a combination of traditional medical and alternative medical thought, are offering the first real hope for neuropathy patients in years. Techniques like acupuncture a two thousand year old therapy, state-of-the-art methods such as non-invasive brain neuromodulation and low level laser therapy are discussed. Current medications now available for the treatment of neuropathy offer only symptomatic relief for neuropathy patients, however, many of the therapies included in this book may actually promote nerve regeneration. This book includes a multitude of alternative medicine treatments for neuropathy that are supported by over 330 scientific references. It is hope and help for neuropathy patients. ... Read more

Product Description
Peripheral neuropathy affects at least 20 million people in the United States. Nearly 60% of all people with diabetes suffer from peripheral neuropathy. It can be associated with poor nutrition, a number of diseases, and pressure or trauma. Many people suffer from the disorder without ever identifying the cause. Peripheral neuropathy produces symptoms such as weakness, muscle cramps, twitching, pain, numbness, burning, and tingling (often in the feet and hands). Neuropathic pain is often worse at night, seriously disrupting sleep and adding to the emotional burden of sensory nerve damage.Neuropathy does not usually clear up unless the underlying problem is relieved or removed. Controlling a chronic condition may not eliminate neuropathy, but it can play a key role in managing it. Depending on the cause, neuropathy may be relieved by medications, vitamin supplements, physical or occupational therapy, splinting, or surgery.Dr. Babak Baravarian is a podiatric foot and ankle specialist. He is currently a member of UCLA Medical Group, chief of podiatric surgery at Santa Monica/UCLA medical center, and an assistant clinical professor at the UCLA School of Medicine. He also serves as co-director of The Foot and Ankle Institute. ... Read more

Great book
John Senneff spent a great deal of time reviewing medical journals for information on alternate treatment of peripheral neuropathy. This book is a great companion to his earlier books. Senneff's Numb Toes series is a must have set of books for anyone who is concerned about peripheral neuropathy.

Not what I expected
I really thought I would find out about my numb toes !!!!!!!This book barely mentioned anything about the loss of feeling in my toes. Don't waist your money if you do not what a bunch of medical jargon.

Product Description
Peripheral nerve injury and entrapment neuropathy often are complicated by injury to adjacent tissue such as bone, joints, blood vessels, and tendons. Clinicians who provide primary care in these areas require extensive knowledge of methods for treating wounds and nerve injuries. The most important element in the treatment of peripheral nerve injury is appropriate surgical repair or functional reconstruction; postoperative physical and occupational therapy are also necessary. This book summarizes current topics in Japan and other countries in the field of surgical nerve repair, including selection of treatment methods for peripheral nerve paralysis, practical issues in surgery, and aspects of postoperative care. The importance of evidence-based medicine is emphasized, with appropriate therapy decided on the basis of objective data. The book has a broad appeal to include general clinicians, clinical trainees, and allied health-care professionals. ... Read more
