My B-I-L takes 200 to 400 mg a day. I know it is not au natural, but this is one of the very few out of the norm things that I would do as it really has some remarkable responses to things described above.
Neuropathy. Something I would look at also intently for that is a medical grade folic called Folbee. There is another derivative that I am wracking my brain for the name. The rheumatologist for my wife, one of the few great conventional docs we know, prescribed it to her when he learned that during her liver transplant, the surgical stockings on her lower legs cut into her peroneal nerve on one leg, causing drop foot because of the crushing of the nerve clusters that feed the knee down. Hot was cold, cold was hot, tingly sensations, you name it. All painful. For 10 years. He prescribed this 'funny folic' as he called it and darned if it didn't work. He said it is an amazing substance in that it has a propensity to pour down and fill up compromised nerves. In our experience with nerve issues, this would be worth looking in to.
A cheaper alternative is amiltryptalin (sp???). Created many years ago for depression, but it has the characteristic of acting of the nerve sheafs. Its action as we understand it was not to mask a problem, but to actually nerve health. An ortho doc who had broken his neck and had severe pain for years took it, it helped, and he passed on that knowledge to my wife who did benefit from it. The Folbee (funny folic, medical grade) did wonders tho.
