What Patrick said. I plan to also introduce R-Lipoic Acid at some point.

It all has helped me, an over all plan. Vitamins and lifestyle changes work synergistically, so together, and though causation is almost impossible to establish, for me, for Patrick and for many others Benfotiamine has correlated with improved symptoms and maybe healing, though one would need further biopsies and the like to determine that. Let's just say a healthier, more nutrient filled lifestyle via whatever exercise one can tolerate, the proper diet, supplementation, etc. can't do anything but help.
