Perhaps the best testimonial is the fact that most customers who try benfotiamine reorder it for continued use. Many benfotiamine users prefer not to comment publicly about their medical conditions, but a few have. While testimonials do not represent scientific evidence, I do think reports from other benfotiamine users can be informative.

FIRST, MY RESULTS (March, 2003):
I have been Type II diabetic since 1998 and began developing symptoms of neuropathy in my feet in 1999, which symptoms began to spread to my hands in 2002. I also began developing painful sciatica in 2001. I began using benfotiamine in March, 2003 in response to Dr. Brownlee’s article in Nature Medicine, which I saw posted on AOL.
Being cautious of something new, I started with 200mg. per day, then moved up to 300mg. per day. In July, 2003 I moved up to 600mg. per day. Moving to
600mg. per day yielded immediate results for me. The numbness in my hands has disappeared, feeling is returning to my feet, the hypersensitivity to touch
that I used to experience in my feet has moderated & I have had no sciatica attacks since July, 2003. Over the intervening years, I have increased my dosage
to 1200mg. per day with good results. I find that perhaps 80% of my customers get great results at 600mg. per day, with the other 20% doing better at 900mg.
per day or more.

CASE 2: (Received 9/30/03)
I have been on your Benfotiamine for maybe a month now. I've been diabetic for at least 12 years, based on when the neuropathy in my feet began, but have only known I'm diabetic for about 19 months. I also had a mini-stroke with minor nerve damage to my right hand and arm about 4 years ago. Worse, I was beginning to have some problems in my right eye (possibly from the stroke and/or diabetes).
The difference in this past month is nothing short of astronomical.
My eye has completely changed - there is no more fuzziness, black spots, or smokey looking things in it. Vision is wonderful - I use reading glasses, but only the lowest power, which isn't bad for 59 !!!
My right hand is getting feeling back in the thumb and two adjacent fingers. I had a momentary exacerbation of pain in the arm and down into the middle finger - lasted 3 days, then went away, and much more sensitivity and lack of pins and needles were quite evident.
Biggest change has been my feet. OUCH! They began to feel funny within a week, then they actually got extremely painful, as did the Achilles tendons and my ankles. This condition was actually dreadful, but I know the healing process can get worse before it gets better.
After about a week, I knew things were turning around dramatically. Feelings in my feet were coming back, numbness and pins and needles were fading, though there is still a ways to go - I started with this in a VERY BAD STATE. My right foot now gets pink from time to time, like it's flooded with new circulation. This foot was nowhere near as bad as the left foot. Both feet are now ticklish - something unheard of in the last decade.
Most remarkably, pain on walking is diminishing rapidly, plus I can now go up and down steps without holding on for dear life. The pain in the ankles and Achilles tendons was so severe I could barely go up and down steps. Now it's easy.
I've embarked on a major exercise program and can do many miles each day on my bike - I could not stand to do this before.
My life is turning around at a considerable pace since I found this most wonderful, miraculous, life-changing supplement. I am eternally grateful to you for bringing this to the forefront of a needy public. I work with diabetics every day, and this is a vitally important facet of what I am teaching them now.

CASE 3: (Received 10/27/03)
The benfotiamine seems to be working for me even though I've only been on it for 3 weeks. I am taking 600mg. a day. I have ordered for my mom and sister.
My mom's sciatica nerve hasn't acted up but my sister hasn't seen any change in her neuropathy. She has only been taking it for a week, so hopefully she will see some relief soon. Now an elder friend would like to take it.
I did some reading elsewhere on the internet and this benfotiamine is good for a lot of things: ageing inside your body, such as kidneys, blood pressure, circulation, age spots, etc. I would highly recommend it to friends, as you can see I've been ordering it for friends who don’t have internet access.
Thanks, and I'm sure glad I found your website and the info to get me started on benfotiamine.

CASE 4: (Received 11/8/03)
My Name is Mike and I have a fairly bad case of Diabetic Neuropathy -- I've tried everything and nothing has really worked to help me get over my leg and foot pain and sleepless nights. Anyway, after some extensive internet searches, I found research on a medicine or nutritional product that has been used in Europe for about 12 years called Benfotiamine. I recently purchased a supply of this product from Benfotiamine.Net in Florida and it has made a substantial difference in my pain levels.
Also, I take Glocovance for sugar level control and Neurotin for the neuropathy along with the Benfotiamine. Plus, I take CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid in addition to B1, B6, and B12 tablets. This combination, along with daily bike rides and walks has gotten me down to about a 3-4 on a ten scale from a 7-8 level in regard to the stinging pain that I have had for over three years. I have a hard time leaving the carbs alone, which seem to raise the pain sometimes after a great pizza and some beer. However, this new product has given me some hope on my condition and the complications involved with Diabetes.
Sincerely,

CASE 5: (Received 11/9/03)
I guess I am as skeptical as one can get, but after going through the first 30 days supply, I can safely report to you that the periodic swelling that I have suffered in the past has gone down to almost zero. Last Friday we needed to travel to the other end of the island to resolve some problems, it was an all day ordeal where in the past I would have been bedridden for two days resting to get the ankle swelling down. While I did come back exhausted, the feet did not swell and I know it is the direct result of the use of benfotiamine.
Please send me a 3 pack order to make sure that I have enough to finish the year with as well as to begin year 2004 feeling better. I will await your response.

CASE 6: (Received 11/17/03)
I am 64 years old & suffer from type II diabetes & heart problems that create both shortness of breath & numbness in my legs & feet.
I would like you to know, I have been taking Benfotiamine for 16 weeks. I started with 600mg. daily for 12 weeks and then increased the dosage to 750mg./day for the last 4 weeks. The numbness in my legs & feet have reduced to the point that I am now walking extended distances & without shortness of breath. Benfotiamine has improved the quality of my life.
Thank you!

CASE 7: (Received 11/22/03)
I am 55 years old & suffer from type II diabetes which has begun causing numbness in the tips of my fingers. I have been taking Benfotiamine for about 10 weeks now, 600 mg. per day.
The numbness in my fingertips has improved, but just as importantly, I have an improved sense of well-being and I feel noticeably sharper mentally. In fact, if I skip taking benfotiamine, I can tell the difference by the next day.
Benfotiamine is working great for me and I would recommend it to anyone. I believe it to be a very safe and beneficial product.
Thank you!

CASE 8: (Received 11/22/03)
I am a 48 yr old female Type 1 diabetic. For the last 8 years my health has failed due to this disease. It started with the neuropathy in my feet and legs. After the pain and hypersensitivity, by 1999 I could no longer tell hot from cold or wet from dry.
In 2001 my kidneys began to fail. I saw an O.D. and went on the healthiest diet we could plan. I started juicing and only drank bottled spring water. It was to no avail. In August of this year my kidney doctor told me to start the preparatory work for dialysis and to speak with the transplant center.
I started taking 600 mg. of benfotiamine daily the first week of October. My next kidney function tests were about 3 weeks later. The kidney had improved by 10% and I was no longer anemic (another symptom of poor renal function). This is nothing short of miraculous. My doctors all said that once kidneys slip below 30% (mine were 18%) it is impossible for improvement. Weren't they surprised? Both my nephrologist and doctor wanted to know what it was that caused such a dramatic improvement.
The return of sensation to my feet and legs (about 80%) was icing on the cake. I am forever grateful and thank God I found this in time.

CASE 9: (Received 12/26/03)
I have suffered from (peripheral neuropathy) PN in both feet from around March of 2003. I am not diabetic. I suspect it is "collateral damage" from spinal surgery from last year. Don't misunderstand, the surgery was a success. Without it I would be 1,000,000% WORSE OFF in other areas!!! Regarding the peripheral neuropathy: my spinal MRIs show nothing wrong. Even so, PN is no fun as you all know. I am in my 4th day with Benfotiamine at 600 mg per day and ALREADY can see significant improvement. I happily anticipate more improvement.
CASE 10: (Received 12/29/03)
I am a 72 year-old male, Type II diabetic since 1978 (400+). I used the Pritikin Diet and exercise for blood glucose control (no meds) from 1978-1985 and the Mcdougall Program from 1985 to the present.
Benfotiamine is the most impressive supplement I have ever been excited about. Prior to starting benfotiamine I was running at a pace of 4.5 to 5.0 mph with much difficulty for one hour (over the years I dropped from 8 mph in my 40s to difficult 4 plus at the end).
I started benfotiamine in late May or early June 2003. The first few days in June were the usual difficult hours of running, but as time went by it became easier. For the past 6 weeks I have been doing 8 miles each day in 90 minutes with the exception of Saturday or Sunday when I would do 13.3 miles (once a week). Yes, benfotiamine does appear to eliminate lactic acid buildup in the muscles and reduce the usually expected pain from anaerobic muscle exertion.
As to AGE's, my observation and opinions: In 1998 my C-Reactive Protein level was <0.4, on 09/12/02 my level was <0.5, but last week, 12/10/03, my CRP level was 4.290 - yes, 4.29 mg/dL (a tenfold increase). My doctor is concerned as that is "dangerously high.” However, I believe all that protein is coming from my arterial plaques and cross links being removed. I feel that cholesterol plaques are being removed and my arteries are becoming more flexible.
I started with 300 mg per day for two weeks, then 600mg to date. I believe benfotiamine is healing my cardiovascular system (and so far, I have had no indication of any plaque particles gumming up the works).
In my opinion Mr. Holladay will likely be proven correct: benfotiamine will probably emerge only second to antibiotics in importance.
Best wishes and kind thoughts.

CASE 11: (Received 01/8/04)
A few months ago I suffered a shingles attack that was very painful and debilitating. I missed work for two months. Now, I’m better and have returned to work, but I had lingering tingling and discomfort from the shingles. My employer was concerned about me and told me about the benfotiamine she was using. I’ve been taking 600mg./day for two weeks now. The tingling sensations and discomfort have disappeared. I hope and pray the benfotiamine will prevent another shingles attack. I feel like it will. I’m so pleased I have this supplement!
(Update, 08/11/04) After taking benfotiamine for months with continual relief from the shingles, I quit taking it, thinking I would be OK. Within a few weeks I had another shingles attack which put me in bed. I resumed taking benfotiamine and within one week I was back on my feet, pain free. I intend to keep taking a maintenance level of benfotiamine indefinitely. A daily dose of benfotiamine is certainly better than the pain of shingles. I’m very grateful to have access to this supplement.

CASE 12: (Received 03/23/04)
Recently, my wife (not diabetic) suffered from sciatica, the main symptom being extremely painful muscle cramps in her legs. She started taking Benfotiamine at 600 mg per day.
Within two days of taking the supplement her symptoms had eased. Two weeks later the cramps had disappeared completely and since then there has been no recurrence of the sciatica.
We gave a part of the Benfotiamine ordered to our near neighbor who is a Type II diabetic. After 10 days at 600 mg per day she reported ‘…a sense of improved well-being… warm hands/feet, the first time for months… feeling that her eyesight was sharper’.

CASE 13: (Received 05/15/04)
I have been taking Neurontin for my neuropathy, but still had very uncomfortable burning sensations and tingling that would keep me from sleeping. Though the Neurontin helped a bit, I was leery of the side-effects. After taking benfotiamine at 600mg./day for two weeks, my symptoms began to subside.
Now, I’m no longer taking Neurontin and at a daily dose of 600mg. of benfotiamine per day, my neuropathy symptoms have cleared up enough for me to sleep at night. I’m very pleased that I found this supplement. I recommend it to my friends.
H. Pogue, 77, California
CASE 14: (Received 06/03/04)
Before using Benfotiamine, I had numbness as well as pain in my feet and toes. The hypersensitivity and pain in my toes was such that I couldn’t even let the sheets touch my feet when I went to bed at night. It was difficult to get to sleep. I have been taking benfotiamine for about four months now. It seems to work the best for me at 600mg./day.
Now I can sleep with my feet under the sheets at night. I can wiggle my toes and feel my feet. I tell everyone about this amazing supplement. The results are fantastic!
Joann Morelli, Sacramento, California
CASE 15: (Received 08/28/04)
I just want to let you know that I have neuropathy and prior to taking benfotiamine, I couldn’t walk for more than an hour. My doctor at Kaiser Permanente in Woodland Hills recommended that I take your product.
Now that I am taking benfotiamine, I can walk and walk. I was recently at Disneyland from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and had no problems with my feet.
The first thing I noticed when I started using benfotiamine was that I could feel the bottom of my feet in my shoes. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

“My allergist was stumped by itching and burning in my feet and my doctor said it was neuropathy from my diabetes, but didn’t have anything to suggest other than looking into Benfotiamine. I’m usually very skeptical of such unproven substances, but I was desperate. I went from having flare-ups three or four times a week to maybe three times in three months. Whatever’s causing it – it seems to work better than anything else I’ve tried.”

CASE 18: (Received 02/23/05)
“I developed neuropathy in the lower legs and feet two years ago. My
doctor put me on Neurontin, working the dosage up to 5400mg./day. On the
Neurontin, I felt disoriented and developed a tremor in my left hand.
After going onto the benfotiamine, I was able to slowly stop taking the
Neurontin. Now, my tremor has cleared up, I am no longer disoriented, the
numbness in my feet and lower legs is much improved, the pain has gone down
significantly, and I am now once again able to sleep at night. This
benfotiamine has been fantastic.”

“Thank you for your very prompt service! Your product is helping me with
nerve pain from herpes zoster that affects the nerves in my lower back, hips and legs.
I also get swelling in one leg from the irritated nerves. If I can stop the sciatic nerve from becoming
inflamed I do not get any of the other problems. Benfotiamine has been the most effective thing I have found
for this (including prescription medications)!
I recently found out that many mental conditions such as depression, bi-polar/manic/depression, food and alcohol
addictions to list a few, are all greatly helped with the use of thiamin.
Thank you for your research and diligence in making this product available to US residents like myself.

“Well, after just one week on benfo, my sciatica is now almost completely
gone. I would rate my current pain level at 1 -2, which is an amazing
blessing. I've also started sleeping through the night instead of having to
get up and use the bathroom once or twice. And the tinnitis I developed a
few months ago has also completely disappeared. Like others have reported

being.”

I recently had another sciatica attack that was going on it’s 3rd month. It was the longest lasting
and most severe episode I had ever experienced. Needles to say, I was at my wits end, trying all the
traditional methods to relieve the pain, but nothing worked.
”
“
I came across this website, and in desperation (with no real expectations) ordered the Benfotiamine.
I started out taking 600mg/day and after a week the sciatica was gone. I gradually lowered the dose
to 300mg/day (that was four months ago), and I have been pain free ever since. A side bonus occurred
when I went to my doctor after 2½ weeks of taking Benfotiamine: my blood pressure had dropped to
136/78 from 145/92 and has remained there ever since. My doctor cut my traditional blood pressure meds
in half, with the hope of cutting them out all together soon. I have had no more pain, no more swelling,
and a more normal blood pressure since beginning to take Benfotiamine. I’m so grateful for your product!!!

“My son is a "brittle" T-1 of 2+ years. He started benfotiamine 4 months ago at a rather low dose of 150mg at bedtime.
His HbA1c has dropped from 12 to 7.6. After 2 years of radical blood glucose swings, the doctor said that he'd be having
the first signs of complications right about now. A month ago they gave him a complete work-up... blood work, kidneys, eyes,
everything. They found a perfectly healthy body of a non-diabetic boy. His vision has actually improved from where it was
6 months ago. We've upped the dose to 300mg. twice per day. I promised him that he'll never go without benfotiamine.
Thank you so much. He might live to see a cure after all.
”
Mrs. F., Texas
(Benfotiamine.Org Comment: We are aware of a number of instances where HbA1c readings have dropped in benfotiamine users.
This does not always mean a drop in daily blood glucose levels. It is possible that the action of benfotiamine in blocking the metabolic
pathways of advanced glycation might play a role in reducing the glycation of the hemoglobin measured for the HbA1c test.
The important thing is that benfotiamine does appear to be blocking the damage pathways that lead to severe complications
in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics.)

I have to tell you that I ordered some of your benfotiamine for a client with severe post-herpetic neuropathy in her lower extremities.
Her pain was so severe that in the middle of winter she had to wear loose sundresses and flip-flops. A few days after
she started taking 600 mg daily of benfotiamine her pain began to subside. Yesterday she reported she rode up the New Hampshire coast on
the back of her husband’s motorcycle without difficulty over the weekend. She has been on the supplement for approximately 5-6 weeks. Wow.

“Hi my name is Scott and I want to make a testimonial about this fabulous product benfotiamine. I am a 54 year old Vietnam veteran.
I’ve been diabetic since I was 25. The diabetes has damaged my kidneys and I am on dialysis now. I also have very bad neuropathy in my feet.
I was just discharged from the VA hospital Sunday. I had gone to an appointment at the Stroke Clinic. I had a Hemorrhagic stroke in 2001 and I
am left side hemiplegic. I think this was caused by diabetes and Agent Orange exposure. I started on 150mg. of benfotiamine daily and worked
my way up to 900mg./day.
”
“I am very happy with the results. At the hospital I complained about shortness of breath, so they wheeled me to the ER, admitted me to the
Cardiology Ward and since I am a diabetic they were sure I had blockages in my heart. They felt I could have a heart attack at any moment.
They gave me a heart stress test which started on Friday and finished on Monday. I was very scared because they thought I had numerous blockages.
Well on Monday night I was discharged. Tuesday they called and said that the scan was completely negative, so no angiogram was needed. I can also
say I can feel my feet again. This benfotiamine I have been taking probably saved my life. I think if you are a diabetic and you have heart

“I am a 69 year-old male who has had diabetes for over twenty years. I have had neuropathy in my feet most of that time. The condition had deteriorated
to the point where I didn't know how much longer I was going to be able to drive without hand controls on my car. After driving twenty minutes I lost
all feeling in my right foot and leg. It got to be pretty scary at times. I have been taking 600 mgs of benfotiamine for only three weeks and have seen
an immediate result. All pain has left my upper legs and there is only some pain and numbness in the bottoms of my feet, similar to how I felt over twenty
years ago. My balance is much better and my ability to drive longer distances has increased greatly. I hope these improvements will continue.

“I was told about benfotiamine by a woman I know who had an even worse case of neuropathy. She had severe burning and skin falling off the bottom of

“I have been a type 1 diabetic for 25 years. In 1990, I began to experience numbness in the tips of my toes. By 1993, I had lost all feeling from the knees down in both legs. In 2003, I developed neuropathy in my arms and hands so bad that I became totally disabled. I have had 3 laser eye surgeries because of complications due to diabetic retinopathy over the last 5 years.”
“Recently, I have been experiencing pain in my back which was determined to be caused by kidney damage. My doctor informed me that I was starting the process of losing kidney function. This was the most horrible news for me. I was so afraid of being put on kidney dialysis.”
“I am 39 years old with a wife and 4 small children. I home-schooled my 2 oldest children for 2 years before my eyes got so bad that it was hard for me to read. My hands became so numb that I couldn't hold a pen. I became very upset with the fact that I was failing so rapidly. My doctor told me that it would only get worse. ”
“Around mid-December 2006, I began to search the internet for help. I was at my wits end and had exhausted all other options. I felt I needed a miracle and prayed to God for one. That is when I came across benfotiamine. I was skeptical, but decided to give it a try. I began taking the Benfo-150 Multi-B Neuropathy Support Formula at a dosage of 900mg. per day. All I can say is: “Wow!” By mid-January, for the first time in decades, I could feel water running down my legs in the shower. My next kidney test baffled my doctor, as he saw that my kidneys were functioning beautifully. The numbness in my hands is almost completely gone. Also, my retinopathy has improved to the point where I can read very small print without reading glasses. These results are astonishing but real.”
“I very thankful to God for finding benfotiamine. Since January, my wife and I have joined a health club where I can now walk on a treadmill for 30 minutes almost every day. That was impossible before beginning benfotiamine. For me, benfotiamine has truly been a miracle.

Arresting/curing chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy – a possible solution based on personal experience.
“Around 6 - 7 years ago I noticed certain changes taking place in my physical condition. These changes included a permanent feeling of “pins & needles” in the extremities (lower limbs, feet, lower arms & hands),
balance problems in the dark or when I closed my eyes, and other problems. Based on these results from various studies I was diagnosed with CIDP, and treatment with Polygam and cortisone was immediately initiated. At
this stage I was pretty bad and could only walk with a lot of difficulty. This treatment was subsequently repeated every 6 months for 2 years and I have to admit, did help, but only slightly and not for long. Because
of the major side effects of cortisone (one of which is muscle wastage - also a side effect of CIDP?) I decided there and then to stop all treatment, accept the disease positively and try and exercise. I also decided
to research the disease and try and find something other than “hard core” expensive drugs which could be useful in treating/arresting CIDP. ”
“About 12 months ago I decided to do a little research on CIDP through the internet and came up with an idea on how I could possibly treat myself. The symptoms of diabetic neuropathy are very similar to what I have,
and as with many of us CIDP sufferers, I was initially tested for diabetes. I therefore looked at a compound, benfotiamine, which has been used successfully in treating diabetic neuropathy, and was in fact originally developed
for alcoholic neuritis. I decided to be my own guinea pig. The recommended dose varies from study to study so I decided on my own dosage of 600mg per day and have never looked back. I can now do the following:
* Walk and play 18 holes of golf (walking around 7 kilometers) whenever I wish (although not as I did before because my balance is still not perfect, but my handicap is back down to 16)
* Spend around 90 minutes working out in the gym.
* Shower with my eyes closed without falling over.
* Dance without falling over.

peripheral neuropathy. I could barely sleep at night and had constant burning, tingling and numbness in my hands, feet
and legs. I even experienced involuntary muscle movement. I walked with great difficulty and eventually had to use a
cane to get around.”
“I experienced what is known as "restless leg syndrome" nightly and slowly lost the sensation of enjoyment from a
hot bath or shower. I suffered from extreme fatigue and would sleep ten to twelve hours on occasions, becoming exhausted
after only two hours of being awake. My vision had become severely diminished to the point of legal blindness. I was
placed on two different medications with horrible side effects and quit taking them altogether. Finally, I was told by
several doctors that I would get worse and worse and become crippled or wheelchair-bound (I was well on my way).”
“However, thank God I discovered benfotiamine! I was desperate and hoped that it would work--it did! I have very
low pain now, the involuntary muscle movements disappeared, I no longer use a cane, I am regaining my balance and enjoying
hot showers and baths again!”
“Benfotiamine also increased my energy level and most exciting of all, my vision is gradually improving. Oh, I

“I have been suffering with chronic foot pain since August 2000 and had a plantar fascia release in 2004 with no relief. Later in 2004 I began having
problems with the other foot. In autumn 2005, I came down with a flu-like illness which I never recovered from and is known as CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome).
After many visits to 8 specialists in all different areas of expertise, I went to a doctor who found I have neuropathy in my feet and hands. He found carpal tunnel
in my left hand and also sympathetic nerve problems throughout my body. He told me he did not know what he would do about my foot pain that’s when I began searching
for relief for my neuropathy. ”
“After reading the many testimonials on this site, I thought I would try Benfotiamine and I’ll be honest here, I wasn’t really expecting anything miraculous
because with the CFID’s for two years you find there are no magic bullets. I must say that within the first days of taking Benfotiamine there was a most notable
difference in my foot pain. Within 5 days I was taking 600 mg daily divided into two doses. The pain disappeared except for a tiny burning tinge
very rarely on the inside of my right arch. To see if in fact the Benfotiamine was really relieving the pain, I discontinued using it in the early stages
of taking it and the pain returned. I knew for sure that Benfotiamine was really working against my neuropathy. I also have noticed that the numbness and
tingling in my hands are moderating; however the foot pain was the first to stop.”
“My assessment from taking this supplement is that I am deficient in a number of B vitamins with my CFIDS, and benfotiamine is the best source
for replenishing my need for Vitamin B1. I am also hoping to see an improvement in my blood pressure, as it runs erratically from normal to 160/90’s.
Benfotiamine has gotten me on my feet again. I cannot sing its praises enough. ”

began to ache, become ice cold, burn, tingle and sometimes I’d get shooting pains. It got to the point that when I’d awake in the morning I couldn’t put
my feet on the floor. They hurt terribly. And when your feet hurt, your whole body hurts. But I attributed it to the deformities (hammer toes, bunions, etc.)
In October of 2008 I decided, at age 57 that I should see an orthopedic surgeon and get my feet “fixed”. He suggested that I have a neurological study done
to see if I had diabetic neuropathy. No, NOT ME! YES, ME! I failed miserably!
“My diabetic educator angel told me that an endocrinologist she works with has been suggesting Benfotiamine to his patients. Since I take so many
other medications I wanted to see if I could go the “natural” way. I had heard such horror stories from people who were taking prescription drugs for
neuropathy that I decided to give benfotiamine a try. With all the information you have posted on your website I felt well informed and confident that
this was not just another “scam” to get more of my money. I ordered three bottles. Within two weeks of taking benfotiamine the tingling went away. I was

damage from the previous two years of supposed Alzheimer's, I did not
expect a cure. She still has some hallucinations, the sense of time
is gone, and the speech is difficult. However, we can most days carry
on a normal conversation, and I can sleep nights. I have done a lot
of research on the internet and found that Benfotiamine or vitamin B1
is a necessary component of the glucose/insulin reaction in the brain.
My wife's dementia was misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's, when, indeed, she
had a shortage of vitamin B1 in the brain.

CASE 58: (Received 6/10/14)
41 year old female, diabetic for 32 years, type 1, have had neuropathy in my feet for
about 3 years and tried all the standard prescription drugs. Have been on gabapentin
for about 18 months, they work very well at controlling the pain but for about a year
have been experiencing muscle and joint pain and a non existent sex drive (sorry) but
it's true... am sure this was all a side effect of the gabapentin. I have had numerous
tests to try to determined what's causing this muscle and joint pain and everything
has come back as normal, even my doctor was scratching her head and running out of suggestions.
I asked her if it might be the gabapentin, she said only one way to find out, stop it for a week
or two. Well, that filled me with panic. I can't cope with the neuropathy pain. I thought, what
can I take instead... started trawling the net for help and found all this info on Benfotiamine.
Ordered some double quick, stopped the gabapentin ten days ago, yes the neuropathy was killing my
feet within twenty four hours of stopping but the muscle and joint pain has decreased. Started the
Benfotiamine when it arrived 3 days ago, 600-900 mg/day, and yes I think it's working... I will
keep you updated on the progress, sex drive, well, I'll let you know about that! Ha ha... I also
have mild back ground retinopathy, be interesting to see if that improves when I have my annual
check next Feb. Fingers crossed I don't have to take prescription drugs anymore. We will see.
Thanks

CASE 59: (Received 7/28/14)
In the hospital for 3 days and couldn't take my Benfotiamine...once released, I doubled up dose and 6 weeks later I'm driving with no pain in my feet. Can't live without the Benfotiamine Multi-B Neuropathy Formula!
