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.

Democratic mayoral nominee Eric
Adams wants to convert distressed
outer-borough hotels to supportive
housing, as the hospitality industry
still struggles to recover from the pandemic.
At a Sept. 20 press conference held
outside the shuttered Phoenix Hotel
on 39th Street in Sunset Park, the borough
president pitched a plan to transform
thousands of city hotel rooms
into studio apartments with supportive
services.
“The building here that we’re standing
near is just a monumental example
of bad planning,” Adams said. “But it’s
also an opportunity.”
Adams cited statistics claiming
there are over 130,000 hotel rooms
in over 700 hotels across the fi ve boroughs,
with the Hotel Association of
New York City estimating that about
20 percent of hotels will not reopen due
to the pandemic — leaving more than
25,000 hotel rooms vacant.
“We need the city to invest city
dollars to acquire and convert these
units,” Adams said.”The numbers just
make sense.”
Supportive housing — a combination
of affordable housing and supportive
services in which tenants pay
30 percent of their income towards
rent — is typically located in apartment
buildings throughout residential
communities. Many hotels in the outer
boroughs are built with the intention
of fl ipping them to homeless shelters
to begin with, something the beep said
he hoped to curb. Supportive housing
units, on the other hand, often serve as
the homes of people recently released
from prison or people who were formerly
homeless.
“This is not converting them into
homeless shelters,” he said. “That’s
the problem we have now.”
“We say no to that, we must move
away from that model and move into
the right perspective of housing New
Yorkers,” he added.
Outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio in
2015 announced a plan to bring 15,000
new units of supportive housing over
15 years. Adams said Monday he
would like to bring 25,000 units online
as quickly as possible.
Converting hotels to supportive
housing is not without precedent.
“We know this model works,” said
Eric Rosenbaum, CEO of the nonprofi t
Project Renewal, which converted a
distressed hotel to housing for over
300 formerly homeless people in Times
Square in the 1990s.
“Many of our residents have been
here from the beginning — that is
housing stability,” he said.
Adams said deregulating the zoning
laws to make it easier for housing
providers to convert hotels to housing
tied directly into his desire to make
New York a more business-friendly
city.
“We state we want to house people,
we state we want to employ people, we
state all of these things but then we
have our agencies that prevent the actualization
of what we’re stating,” he
said. “That is how we’re hurting business
in this city.”

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.

85% nerve damage there is hope!
