PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY WARNING!
Brooklyn, NY — The most common
method your doctor will recommend to treat
your neuropathy is with prescription drugs
that may temporarily reduce your symptoms.
These drugs have names such as Gabapentin,
Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin, and are
primarily antidepressant or anti-seizure
drugs. These drugs may cause you to feel
uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful
side effects.

Meet the 48th Council
District candidates
BY BEN BRACHFELD
One of the most closely watched
City Council races is shaping up in
south Brooklyn’s 48th District, where
two fresh members of their respective
parties are duking it out to replace disgraced
former Councilmember Chaim
Deutsch, who was booted from the
Council earlier this year after being
convicted of tax fraud.
The race in the district, which includes
Brighton Beach, Manhattan
Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Homecrest,
and Midwood, is between special education
teacher Steven Saperstein, the
Democratic nominee, and attorney
Inna Vernikov, the Republican nominee.
While the southern Kings County
district historically elects Democrats
to its local legislative offi ces, it is an
area of strong showing for Republicans
in mayoral, gubernatorial, and
presidential races (the area was one of
Donald Trump’s strongest regions in
the fi ve boroughs in 2016 and 2020), and
Deutsch was known as a conservative
fi rebrand despite being a Democrat.
Both candidates are also new to their
parties: Saperstein is a former Republican,
and in fact ran for the same seat in
2017 as a Republican, as well as for the
46th Assembly District in 2018. He lost
both times to Deutsch and to Mathylde
Frontus, respectively, but won a crowded
primary this year for this year’s Democratic
nomination for the Council seat.
Vernikov, a supporter of former
President Donald Trump, considered
running in the Democratic primary but
ultimately sought, and received, the Republican
nomination. She is a supporter
of former President Donald Trump, according
to the New York Post.
Brooklyn Paper spoke with Saperstein
and Vernikov about the most
pressing issues in the district and their
plans if they win the election.
Brooklyn Paper: Tell us a little
about yourself.
Steven Saperstein: I grew in Sheepshead
Bay/Madison and now reside in
Brighton Beach. I live with my wife
Elina and we are raising our two daughters
there with our dog Sasha. I work as
ELECTION 2021
a Special Education Teacher with those
who are deaf and hard of hearing.
Inna Vernikov: I am an immigrant
from the former Soviet Union
and I have only love for this country
and our beautiful city. My family came
here with nothing and my parents had
to work multiple jobs to make a living.
My dream was always to become an attorney.
I have been managing my own
matrimonial and immigration practice
for the past eight years and have been
actively involved in my community and
numerous non-profi t organizations.
BP: Why are you running?
SS: We’ve been through so much
this year, and our neighbors need
someone to fi ght for us. I am running
to bring our district back stronger.
My goal is to be hands-on, accessible
and responsive to the issues you care
about. I will work with the next mayor
to deliver the necessary resources and
funding to our district.
IV: I am running for City Council
because I feel that our politicians have
failed us. Our city has become unlivable
for the average individual. The uptick
in crime and the movement to defund
our police, the garbage, the high
taxes, and the attack on our individual
freedoms, are some of the things that
propelled me to stand up and be a voice
for our community and our district.
As an immigrant from the former Soviet
Union who appreciates the comfort
and freedoms America provides
for us, I feel that it is incumbent on me
to give back and I feel that the time to
do that is now. .

The main problem is that your doctor has
told you to just live with the problem or
try the drugs which you don’t like taking
because they make you feel uncomfortable.
Our facility right here in Brooklyn, NY offers
you hope without taking those endless drugs
with serious side effects. (see the special
neuropathy severity examination at the end
of this article).
In order to effectively treat your
neuropathy three factors must be
determined.
1) What is the underlying cause?
2) How Much Nerve Damage
3) How much treatment will your condition
require?
The treatment that is provided at
AllCare Neurocorrective Wellness
has three main goals:
1) Increase your blood flow
3) Decrease your brain-based pain
The treatment to increase blood utilizes a
specialized low-level light therapy (not to
be confused with laser therapy) using light
emitting diode technology. This technology
was originally developed by NASA to assist
in increasing blood flow
The low level light therapy is like watering a
plant. The light therapy will allow the blood
vessels to grow back around the peripheral
nerves and provide them with the proper
nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding
water to a plant an seeing the roots grow
deeper and deeper.
The amount of treatment needed to allow the
nerves to fully recover varies from person to
person and can only be determined after a
detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.
As long as you have not sustained at least
85% nerve damage there is hope!

" will do a neuropathy severity
examination to determine the extent of the

vascular testing, and a detailed analysis of
