Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

I have read your follow-up question.

First of all, it is necessary to stop or slow the pathologic process that is damaging the myelin sheath, by using appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs.

A healthy diet and lifestyle, avoiding potentially harmful substances, are necessary.

Supplements of the vitamin B group, alpha-lipoic acid, etc. were found to help in peripheral nerve regeneration.

Hope this helps.

In good health.
