Presentation of a patient suffering from HMSN type II, the disease of Charcot, Marie, Tooth, a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy.This patient sufferend from much pain and morfine did not really effectively ease the pain. He was depressive and overweight, as well as much in pain. We started treating him according to our treatment protocol, using several EBM based supplements, such as alpha lipoic acid, certain analgesic creams we developed and a form of neuroacupuncture. Within weeks the patient has lost weight, was taking up sports again, was less depressive and his painscore decreased from 8-9 to 2. This clinical relevant effect is still acurate after 6 months of treatment.
