NEW NEURO ONE TOPICAL CREAM PROMISES PN RELIEF

California-based Neuropathy Research Inc. announced the release of its L-arginine-based topical cream designed to relieve the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy (PN). PN refers to pain, tingling, and numbness in the feet or hands suffered by as many as 30 million Americans, the majority of them diabetics. Causes of PN include diabetes, vitamin B-12 deficiency, excessive alcohol consumption, and age.

All that was what company co-founder Tony Cook learned from his doctor, Arlene F. Hoffman, DPM, PhD, a veteran podiatrist and medical researcher in San Francisco. “She told me my peripheral neuropathy was idiopathic – meaning cause unknown,” recalls Cook, “and the doctor dispensed a topical formulation that she said had helped the many PN patients in her care.” It worked, explains Dr. Hoffman, because the L-arginine could reach the damaged nerves causing the symptoms, since these spidery or “small-fiber” peripheral nerves were close to the surface of the skin and could therefore be readily nourished.
