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.

BP calls for street safety
after 3-month old killed
BY BEN BRACHFELD
Borough President Eric Adams,
the Democratic nominee for mayor,
called for street safety improvements
on Sept. 13 at the site of a deadly car
crash where a driver killed a 3-monthold
baby, Apolline Mong-Guillemin,
and critically injured her mother —
though, not without clashing with activists
over the urgency.
Adams stood at the site of the crash
— the intersection of Gates and Vanderbilt
avenues in Clinton Hill — to call for
various street safety measures intended
to prevent similar tragedies. That includes,
for instance, funding and enforcement
of legislation that would allow
the city to impound vehicles with a
high number of speed or red light camera
violations, unless the driver takes a
motorist safety course. Adams also expressed
interest in lifetime license suspension
for repeat reckless driving.
The bill was signed by the mayor in
February 2020 but funding for it was
not included in the city’s pandemicera
budgets. The car involved in the
infant’s death, a 2017 Honda Civic,
has been ticketed 91 times for speeding
in a school zone, well in excess of
the reckless driver bill’s stipulated 15
violations, and has accumulated 160
traffi c violations overall since 2017.
The driver, 28-year-old Tyrik Mott of
Crown Heights, has been arrested.
“Those numbers are just horrendous
— 35 this year alone,” Adams
said. “There’s no reason this vehicle
was still on our streets.”
Adams also called for rolling out
a “master plan” for the city’s streets
and increasing the city’s budget for
redesigning dangerous traffi c corridors,
and at the state level, for Albany
to pass bills allowing the city to set its
own speed limit and run its school-zone
speed cameras 24/7, and expand the
program. “The more we decrease speed
limits, the more we save lives,” he said.
Adams nonetheless encountered
opposition from street safety advocates:
a reckless driver in a blue sports
car sped through a red light right past
the press conference while state Sen.
Andrew Gounardes spoke, as NYPD
offi cers parked across the street (in the
Vanderbilt Avenue bike lane) failed to
act. The crowd, which included advocates
and relatives of those lost to reckless
drivers, shouted down the beep
while chanting “fi x our streets.”

“What we should not do is attack
those of us who are on the front line
of this issue,” Adams retorted to the
crowd, arguing that he, in fact, was on
the front lines of the safe streets issue.
A member of the crowd, Nicole Murray
of the Democratic Socialists of America,
responded “the dead baby’s on the
front line, not you. They’re on the front
line, not you.”
In a follow-up statement, a spokesperson
for Adams said that the reckless
driver who sped by the vigil
demonstrated the need for a “holistic
rethinking” of the city streetscape,
and encouraged people to send tips in
to the NYPD.
“The car speeding behind us underscored
the need for a holistic rethinking
of our streets to deter reckless
driving,” said Adams spokesperson
Jonah Allon. “We also encourage civilians
who witness something like this
to take a picture or video and send it
to their local precinct. Everyone must
play a role in stopping reckless driving,
especially offi cers on patrol.”
Activists posited that they feel exhausted
from having repeated vigils
for children killed by traffi c violence
as the city sits idly by. “We’re tired of
standing at these vigils, with families
who have to stand here and retell their
stories over and over again, to the deaf
ears of our elected leaders who will
stay in front of us,” said Danny Harris,
executive director of safe streets advocacy
group Transportation Alternatives.
“We need action.”
“These horrifi c deaths and injuries
are preventable,” said Anna Kovel,
the mother of Lucian Merryweather,
who lost his life at just 9 years of age
in 2013, mere blocks away from the intersection
where Mong Guillemin was
killed. “Mayor, I hope you’re listening.
We need you to act now.”
NYPD traffi c data shows that fatal
crashes have increased by 26 percent
this year over last, with 189 people dying
in car crashes citywide this year. In
Brooklyn North, deaths have increased
by over 130 percent. Streetsblog notes,
however, that moving violations issued
in June 2021 were less than half of what
the department issued in June of 2019.

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!
