Brooks,

      Have you done or do you know of any studies done on lingual nerve damage 
with resultant paresthesia/dysesthesia?  I have burning pain on the right side 
of my tongue from an injection of articaine 30 months ago.  I'm wondering if 
B1, B12, and ALA might give me some relief or if you've heard of any other 
protocol that might help.  Looking forward to your response.

     Bob

  Now that my, original, comment has come through...I will conclude my comments 
on this topic. 
  First, however, I wish to rectify a misstatement made in my earlier post 
(caused by haste....I trust). 
  In the concluding paragraphs I commented on two improved types of B-12....as 
being presently available. This was 
  in error. Actually, what I meant to say that there were " two improved 
members of the vitamin B family" presently available. 
  They are Benfotiamin (a B-1 form), which greatly improves cell 
penetration...and is a pronounced improvement over most of the earlier 
representatives of the B-1 family. This B-1 form has demonstrated to be a 
noticeable improvement over earlier types 
  offered by the commercial market. The beneficial effects...especially for 
challenges presented by diabetes complications--- 
  are quite striking. Benfotiamin and Methyl B-12 demonstrate to act in 
synergistic manner ....when used simultaneously----as 
  a peripheral neuropathic protocol. 
  The other vitamin is Methyl B-12 (methylcobalamine). This form is MUCH more 
soluble to tissue...than is the standard cobalamine form. Methyl-cobalamine is, 
also, quite effective as an ancillary protocol for autism in children (most 
especially below the age of 10 years). 

  This substance is well-tolerated by a majority of the general population, and 
oral ingestion is quite effective and adequate for maintaining satisfactory 
blood titers. Although IV was, is, more immediately effective....and more 
completely utilized....than is sublingually ingested forms of Methyl 
B-12......the sublingual administration shows to be about 50% as active (by 
volume), as are IV administrations. (At least that has been our experience). 
  We were privy to studies conducted by other research organizations, which 
revealed some very powerful effects of B-12 upon diabetic related peripheral 
neuropathy insults. e.g. One study revealed that IV injections of 2500 mcg of 
B-12 provided very substantial control/improvement in neuropathy presentations. 
Presenting symptoms (burning, itching, coldness, etc.) were 
well-resolved----sometimes in hours, and did not require other injections for 
intervals of...sometimes....as great at 3 months. In some cases the "standard" 
protocol of 2500 mcg IV once each month was many times, soon extended to once 
every 3 months.....and in some cases to several years in time. 
  As Alpha Lipoic Acid was unknown (to us) as an available address for 
diabetes-related peripheral neuralgia....at the time of our 
investigations.....no data was available to us---at that time--- on ALA 
beneficial effects. However, since the 1998-99 time frame, we have accumulated 
a sizable data base on the positive influence of ALA on peripheral neuralgia. 
Our recent investigations have, sometimes, shown "stunning" and immediate 
(within hours on occasion) relief. The most profound effects related to 
burning/itching of the feet and toes. A majority of these "experimental 
investigations" required 800 to 1000 mcg (minimum) to effect such rapid 
responses. 
  We did not observe a single case of negative "side-effects" from the higher 
volumes of ALA.......used by the experimental volunteers. 
  I hope these comments prove to be of some value to list members conducting 
their own experimental researaches. 
  Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
