Some years ago I was diagnosed as having bilateral carpal
tunnel syndrome (both wrists) and surgery was recommended.
Looking for an alternative, I went to the local medical school
library and found a paper had been written describing 20
candidates for this surgery who had taken B6 and no longer
needed surgery.  Actually, 16 of the 20 were sufficiently
improved to no longer require surgery.

I tried the recommended dose for 3 months and my doctor
said I no longer needed the surgery.  My symtoms almost
entirely disappeared.  I've forgotten the dosage, but I'm
sure the paper still is medical school archives, probably
throughout the U.S.  Just look up carpal tunnel syndrome.
