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.

a Covid-19 death rate of just 22 per
million.
In the US the Covid-19 death rate
is 1,800 per million and in parts of
Europe the fatality rate is approaching
3,000 deaths per million.
Dr. Jean “Bill” Pape said Haiti’s
success is not due to some innovative
intervention against the virus.
Most people have given up wearing
masks in public. Buses and markets
are crowded and Haiti has not yet
administered a single dose of Covid-
19 vaccine.
Dr. Pape said a combination of factors
have kept the death rate so low.
The 74-year-old Haitian doctor
served as the co-chair of a national
commission in Haiti to deal with
Covid-19, leading the country’s effort
to deal with the crisis. But the commission
was dissolved earlier this
year.
Last June, the country of 11 million
was hit with a significant wave of
infections. Hospital wards were filled
with Covid-19 patients. At the time,
the country only had two places that
could test for the virus, so the actual
number of infections is unknown.
Now testing is far more available,
Pape said very few cases are detected
each day.
She said the country has pretty
much gone back to the way of life.

Prime Minister, Dr. Keith Rowley has
extended the Public Health regulations,
which were due to expire on May 23,
have been extended to
July 4.
He said the government
is going to Parliament
this week to
extend the state of emergency (SoE)
for 90 days.
He made the announcement on Saturday,
noting the Covid-19 numbers are
still too high to relax any measures.
The Ministry of Health reported that
as May 22 the Covid-19 death toll now
stands at 365 with the deaths of 17
more people.
This brings the number of deaths
recorded for the month of May to 203.
On April 29, the PM had ordered
a wide-scale lockdown affecting many
businesses, including restaurants, bars,
casinos, malls,gyms, cinemas and others
.A
dditional restrictions were imposed
one week later, with only essential businesses
such as hardware stores, supermarkets
and pharmacies being allowed
to operate. The restrictions were to
remain until May 23.
Dr. Rowley said he had hoped to be
able to lift the restrictions, but the
country’s Covid-19 situation had not
improved.

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.
