Alpha Lipoic Acid is supposed to prevent and heal nerve damage from diabetes, etc. I think the dose is 600mg per day, probably in divided doses.

googled on: ALA LA neuropathy

Anyone have any ideas on how to deal with severe burning feet in an elderly woman? My mother has this problem and some swelling of her feet. The doctor did a diabetes test, she hasn't heard from them so she's assuming it's not that. I suspect she has neuropathy. The doctor also said it is nerve damage in her feet. He put her on some medication, called nuerotonin, or something like that, or its generic, which makes her feet swell!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
