Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Magnetic Molecular Energizing (MME) has
been used effectively for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.
MME treatment is considered
investigational and is utilized under the direction and auspices of an
Investigational Review Board (IRB). The IRB complies with FDA
requirements for investigational therapy usage and results review. MME
therapy is safe and non-invasive. In some cases, patients may experience
some tingling, however, most experience no ill effects and can talk,
sleep, read or watch TV.
Facts about Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
15 – 65%
of patients with diabetes have some form of peripheral neuropathy.
- 7.5% have a neuropathy at the time of diabetes diagnosis.
- The common causes are the increased blood sugars effect on the
peripheral nerves and on the small blood vessels supplying the nerves.
- The common symptoms range from decreased sensation to total
numbness, burning pain and loss of strength especially in small
muscles of the feet or hands.
- It is normally present in diabetic patients over the age of 50 but
can occur in any age group and is associated with either juvenile or
adult onset diabetes.
Treatment and Case Results
Treatment is essentially unavailable for this condition. Some new drug
development has recently occurred and has varying benefit. An IRB
approved study is currently utilizing the investigational MME technique.
J.G. is a 35 year old female with brittle juvenile
diabetes on insulin. Her neuropathy symptoms are 10 years in duration.
She complains of aggravation with ambulation and numbness, pins and
needles and burning all progressively increasing. After 120 hours of
MME exposure she indicated a marked improvement and ability to have
feeling rather than numbness. This was validated by neurometer “nerve
testing.”
T.T. is a 58 year old female type II diabetic on
diet control with neuropathy in feet of 6 years duration. She stated
presence of burning and tingling symptoms of 6 years duration with
recent progression. After completing 80 hours of MME she reported an
80% improvement which has continued for 1 year.
Although no absolute assurances can be
given, there is good reason for optimism for benefit, in individuals who
are accepted for treatment, after review and screening. MME appears to
enhance and speed the healing of tissues at the cellular and molecular
level.
