Question : I just started a therapy program for neuropathy that incorporates infrared light, electrical stimulation and a diet not too unlike Dr. Adkins with a supplement called Neuragenics. The last seven days I have had nausea and no appetite. The thought of food makes me queasy. I've lost about 15 lbs in three weeks. Do you know why I may be experiencing the nausea, loss of appetite and weakness.

I did stop simvastatin on 10/12 at the request of this program.

This is my 7th day of nausea and lack of appetite. No vomiting. Started the program on Oct. 11.

Brief Answer:
Your medicine may be harming you

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXX, Are you on this neurogenics pill?if so please stop it at once. Taking local and external therapies like infra red light doesnt harm,but over the counter pills definitely do. please get your blood tested for liver functions, blood sugar Iam sure you will start feeling better once you stop the pill.If nausea is bad i suggest you to take pantoprazole and domperidone first thing in the morning. Hope this helps
