Post Sorry...

I don't know of any supplements that will reduce CSF levels.

I do know things that will raise CSF pressure, and I assume your wife has
been told to avoid them.

Essential fatty acids will help to repair nerves. So will B12, and folic acid.
(Flax oil and fish oil).

In cases of pseudotumor cerebri (which has increased CSF pressure), doctors sometimes use a diuretic called
Diamox. This is a prescription drug. If this does not work, then a shunt is installed.

This is a tough place for her to be. Wishing you and she the best.
