Having seen my father take 5+ needles a day for my entire life, and now him beginning to lose feeling in his feet, I wish for nothing more than for this to come true.

If he hasn't already, he might look into tarsal tunnel surgery. It's very similar to the common carpel tunnel syndrome in the wrist. My mom (type 1, as well) had it done a few years back, and regained most of the feeling in her feet.

Awesome news, hope they can get some repeatable results here.

I misread your statement about your father's feet... I thought it said he was losing his feet.
