What is Neuropathy?
Common Causes of Neuropathy
Neuropathy can develop from many causes, including:
- Diabetes or Insulin Resistance (Most Common)
High or fluctuating blood sugar impairs:
- Blood flow to nerves
- Energy production inside nerve cells
- Nutrient delivery to nerve tissue
Over time, this leads to nerve dysfunction.
- Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy
Some chemotherapy drugs damage nerves through:
- Oxidative stress
- Mitochondrial injury
- Microvascular (small vessel) damage
Symptoms may include burning, numbness, or sensitivity in hands and feet.
- Post–COVID or Post-Viral Neuropathy
After infections like COVID-19, some people develop neuropathy due to:
- Persistent inflammation
- Immune dysregulation
- Microvascular injury
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
- Other Causes
Neuropathy can also be associated with:
- Vitamin deficiencies (especially B12)
- Autoimmune disease
- Toxin exposure
- Alcohol use
- Chronic inflammation
- “Idiopathic” (unknown cause) neuropathy
Traditional Treatment vs. Our Approach
Standard Medical Treatment (What most patients are offered)
Common medications include:
- Gabapentin (Neurontin)
- Pregabalin (Lyrica)
- Duloxetine (Cymbalta)
These can reduce pain, but they do not repair nerves or restore function. Many patients experience side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, or brain fog.
Standard care = symptom control, not nerve healing.
The James Clinic Neuropathy Protocol
A Stepwise, Restorative Plan
We focus on repairing the system that supports your nerves, not just masking symptoms.
We optimize the nutrients your nerves need to heal, including:
- Vitamin B12, B1, and balanced B6
- Folate
- Vitamin D
- Zinc and magnesium
- Adequate protein
We also work on blood sugar and insulin sensitivity, which are critical for nerve recovery.
ALA is a powerful antioxidant that helps:
- Reduce nerve inflammation
- Improve energy production in nerve cells
- Support nerve function
- Reduce burning pain in many patients
We use IV ALA for better absorption and effect.
PRP contains growth factors that help:
- Stimulate nerve repair
- Reduce chronic inflammation
- Improve blood flow to nerves
- Support nerve regeneration
This is especially helpful in diabetic or chemotherapy-related neuropathy.
Many forms of neuropathy involve energy failure inside nerve cells.
MDI therapy helps:
- Restore normal fuel use inside nerves
- Improve mitochondrial energy production
- Enhance microcirculation
- Support long-term nerve repair
This is a restorative, biologic approach—not a pain medication.
What You Can Expect
- A comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms and medical history
- Personalized sequencing of therapies
- Gradual, measurable improvements over time (not overnight)
- Close follow-up and adjustments based on your response
Some patients notice early changes in sensation, pain, or stability within weeks, while others improve more gradually.
Who Is This Program For?
This approach is ideal if you have:
- Diabetic or prediabetic neuropathy
- Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy
- Post–COVID neuropathy
- Neuropathy with no clear cause
- Tried medications without meaningful benefit
- A desire for nerve repair, not just pain relief
The Bottom Line
Neuropathy is often metabolic, microvascular, and mitochondrial — not just structural.
- Standard medicine quiets symptoms.
- Our approach works to restore nerve health.
