I've been looking:
Dr. Mansmann �I have had diabetic neuropathy for over 10 years. The most significant symptom is my neuropathic pain of burning feet, called erythromelalgia. With the aid of Mg (magnesium)I can completely suppress the symptom, but if my blood glucose level is acutely elevated, because of a dietary indiscretion, the pain flares in spite of an apparent adequate dose of Mg. It goes away with extra Mg gluconate (Magonate) in an hour or so in either case. Without the Mg it will last for six plus hours, even though the blood glucose level is normal in about two hours.� �It is my belief that every one with diabetes should be taking Mg supplementation to the point of one�s Maximum Tolerated Dose, which is until one has soft-semi, formed stools. In addition, anyone with neuropathy, without a known cause, must be adequately evaluated for diabetes and especially those with poorly, slowly, healing foot sores of any kind. Since the use of Mg is safe I see no reason that this should not be �the standard of care�. Dr. Herbert Mansmann Jr., Director of the Magenesium Research Lab,[xi] who is a diabetic with congenital magnesium deficiency and severe peripheral neuropathy, shares that he was able to reverse the neuropathy and nerve degeneration with a year of using oral magnesium preparations at very high doses.

I also did a check on this disease and coconut oil...it seems to help in some cases?

In case anyone else is interested, I emailed a good friend in Britain who knows alternative care well, and she sent this to me:
.....QTE..
Burning feet is a symptom of a lack of pantothenic acid (B5)

Necessary to have a mega B complex tablet, with all the B vitamins, then an additional tablet with
50 mg of B5 . Not to take the B5 in isolation. B Vits are synergistic, they all need each other.

I used to have burning feet, and it sorted me, and a friend and my husband......it has always worked.

I can recommend Puritans Pride.....their value for money is amazing....UNQ

I'm passing this on. I amazes me how something so simple can relieve something so horribly painful!

Judie,

I normally supplement with 2 teaspoons of bee pollen granules per day. I thought that it had pantothenic acid. It probably does; but while I was looking, I found this information.

Both of these supplements are delicious. You should easily find royal jelly with bee pollen. So much better than tablets or capsules.

Royal jelly is not even the greatest source of B5.
