I am very interested in the article you published on benfotiamine - the synthetic form of thiamine. Where can this be safely purchased? I am dubious of internet scams but would really like to try. I have suffered from neuropathy for many years (not diabetic and do not drink alcohol). It has be worth a try. I am seeing a neurologist and have my next appointment in October. If this available OTC, I would like to give it a try. I take the generic form for neurontin today but would really like to get off of that if I can.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
