Numbness. Prickling. Tingling. Burning. Debilitating pain in the feet,
toes, and lower legs. Or in the hands, fingers and lower arms. Perhaps even in
both locations. These are the most common symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy, a
vexing disorder brought on by damage to the peripheral nervous system that
today affects tens of millions of Americans, and many more millions of people
around the globe. These numbers only reflect the tip of the iceberg. Indeed, in
years to come, peripheral neuropathy, which is right now increasing in
prevalence at a mind-blowing rate, has the potential to become one of the most
widespread scourges humanity has yet known.
