Traditional medicine has absolutely nothing to offer for nerve regeneration for the hundreds of thousands to millions of people who suffer with peripheral nerve disorders. Peripheral neuropathy result from damage to the peripheral nerves. Radiculopathy results from pressure on or injury to nerve roots (Herniated disk, Spinal stenosis and Degenerative disk disease). Neuropathies may affect just one nerve (mononeuropathy) or several nerves (polyneuropathy). Peripheral neuropathy often affects people with diabetes and autoimmune diseases (Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus). Certain vitamin deficiencies, some medications and alcoholism can also damage peripheral nerves. Depending on the nerves involved, symptoms can range from a mild tingling or numbness in the fingers or toes to searing pain. One may lose some of the feeling in the feet or hands. One might also experience weakness or even paralysis of certain muscles or problems with one's bowels or bladder. One condition known as diabetic peripheral neuropathy when the nerve endings slowly die leading to loss of sensation in the feet, legs and hands which at times can be painful and can lead to weakness and difficulty walking. Some patients can be incapacitated by this condition. "Modern" medicine has nothing of any significance to treat this condition. However, there are some natural nutrients that can make a difference.

In the last two decades, there have been multiple studies demonstrating the benefit of ALC for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive disorders. In more recent years, researchers have looked at the benefits of ALC for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy. In an Italy study published 2002, 333 patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were randomized in a double-blinded, placebo-controlled fashion. Half of the patients received initial doses of 1000 mg daily of intramuscular ALC for 10 days followed by 2000 mg a day orally for the remainder of the year. At the end of the study, those patients treated with ALC showed a statistically significant improvement in nerve conduction responsiveness compared to placebo. In addition, after twelve months of treatment the ALC group had a statistically significant reduction of pain by 39% compared to 8% in the placebo group. The conclusion was that ALC was effective and well tolerated in improving neurophysiological parameters and reducing pain over a one year period. It was felt to be a promising treatment option in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

There have been other studies published within last year demonstrating the incredible benefits of ALC. In one study published out of England, animals pretreated with ALC seemed to have a protective effect on peripheral nerves that were experimentally destroyed. The authors of this study suggested that ALC may be the first agent suitable for the clinical use of prevention of nerve death after peripheral nerve trauma.

In sciatica the sciatic nerves become trapped by a disc or narrowed joint space, and cause inflammation.

There are two ways to try and alleviate some of the symptoms.

Second is to reduce the inflammation of the nerves.
