what can alternative medicine help with neuropathy?
Some animal and human tumors require arginine for growth! That's why I don't suggest it.
L-arginine will also help.
Purchase it in large quantities at health food stores instead of in small expensive capsules.
You have to take at least 2-3 grams at a time for it to have an effect, and 3-4 times per day. It has a funny "meat-like" taste and you can mix it with powdered tang or lemonade mix.

Is your neuropathy due to diabetes? If it is then check the following!
According to studies reported by Kathleen A. Head in a 2006 issue of the Alternative Medicine Review.
Alternative medicine may also play a role in reducing the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Statistics in the Alternative Medicine Review, supplementing essential acids called ALA (alpha-Lipoic acid) and GLA (gamma linolenic acid) and omega-3 fatty acids may all have a beneficial effect on diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Kathleen Head studied nerve blood flow and physical symptoms such as numbness and coldness. Over the course of long-term treatment that spanned several months, some trial participants experienced a reduction in symptoms and better blood flow.
L-carnitine is a substance that the body makes and stores in various organs, including the liver and the brain. The University of Maryland Medical Center reports that some diabetics who experience neuropathy symptoms may be able to regain regular sensation in their limbs when they increase their consumption of a type of carnitine called acetyl-L-carnitine. Red meat, peanut butter and dairy products are good dietary sources of the nutrient, but supplements are also widely available at health food stores and pharmacies.
Head's research showed that vitamin deficiencies may result in peripheral neuropathy in some people. Replenishing vitamins B1, B12 and E may lead to a decrease in symptoms. Recommended dosages are 300mg daily of vitamin E. Doses of the different B vitamins vary, but one option for neuropathy patients and their doctors to consider is to take a daily B-complex supplement.
Some herbal remedies may be alternatives to explore when treating peripheral neuropathy. St. John's Wort, an herbal supplement taken orally, may reduce the pain that is consistent with neuropathy. Topical creams containing capsaicin, an anti-inflammatory substance found in chili peppers, can reduce the burning sensation in some people who experience this painful symptom.
Acupuncture, may be an effective way to manage peripheral neuropathy. The online version of the Physician's Desk Reference explains that the age-old art of acupuncture may be used along with or instead of more conventional means to ease the pain felt from this type of nerve damage.
Tai chi and yoga help align the body and mind, encourage relaxation and may distract people from the pain, even if the measure is temporary.
Before trying anything talk to your doctor!!
