Review
"A superbly researched and readable book that deals with peripheral neuropathy from the patient's perspective. The author has taken great pains to assemble accurate and up-to-date information that will be of substantial benefit in helping patients. . . .The book can also be recommended to physicians who want insight into how patients are affected." -- Dr. David A. Greenberg, Professor and Vice-Chairman of Neurology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
"An outstanding and comprehensive treatment of PN." -- L. W. "Bill" Cracken, Col. USAF (ret)
"Congratulations on completing your informative and exhaustive work. It will be a valuable resource to patients and physicians alike." -- Dr. Laurence J. Kinsella, Chief, Division of Neurology, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio
"John has performed a marvelous service for the sufferer [of PN] in his exhaustive research and attention to detail. . . . The book is easy to read and yet a great resource for the lay person, and I believe it will be a valuable source of information for the medical practitioner." -- Jim Miller, retired aeronautical engineer
"The book reflects an enormous amount of research and work, and will save present and future neuropathy victims a great deal of anguish and frustration caused by the previous lack of readily available information on causes, symptoms, treatments and medical progress. . . .It should be mandatory reading for every medical student, doctor, nurse and therapist. It is definitely a 'must have' for every victim of neuropathy and should be read, re-read and used as a reference guide and self-defense mechanism. . . . [The book] is obviously a 'labor of love, ' compassionately written by a victim of the disease itself." -- Rosemary Waggener, rancher
"There is a tremendous need for this- a book written for people with peripheral neuropathy by someone who has the disorder himself. Numb Toes and Aching Soles has much to offer these 'PNers.'" -- Dr. Richard A. Lewis, Professor of Neurology and Associate Chair, Wayne State
"You have put together something of great service to PNers everywhere." -- Gil Wolfe, Professor of Neurology, University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Texas --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Misleading title,
By Robert G. Garrison (Palm Desert, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Numb Toes and Aching Soles: Coping with Peripheral Neuropathy (Paperback)
Numb Toes. That's what I wanted to learn about. I Read the book, tons of information on Peripheral Neuropathy but very little about toe numbness. Index only lists numbness on page 17. There in one paragraph I found numbness mentioned twice.

Great Book,

This review is from: Numb Toes and Aching Soles: Coping with Peripheral Neuropathy (Paperback)
One reviwer had written: "It is very much like what you might find if you searched every issue of Prevention magazine looking for cures for a desease -- one would find everything from herbal cures to surgery and would have little idea of what, if anything might work for you." This is true, but I don't have the time or the inclination to go out and locate every single issue, read them all from cover to cover, ask the opinion of various doctors about what I read, and also get the opinions of those who have actually tried using the various treatments. That is what this book did. for me. I found it to be invaluable, and I learned a lot and picked up quite a few things to try.
