Girija-

It may be important to realize that there are at least three groups or classifications to be considered.

1- Things we take to slow or halt progression. These do not provide feedback and are a longterm matter. We can only base these on existing research and logic.

2- Things we take in hopes of repair of existing damage. These, too, are a leap of faith although less than the first.

3- Things that lessen symptoms. Unlike the other two, these have effects that we can perceive.

In group 3, I would place the following-

The combination of Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid. I can detect a measurable increase in the time that I can balance on one leg within 48 hours of starting this.

Electrolytes, particularly potassium. On a half-dozen occasions I have reversed major problems quickly. One of those was so bad that I could not stand up. Within ten minutes I was fully recovered.

While still new to me, American skullcap is shaping up to smooth out and perhaps even reduce my meds. It also seems to have a good effect on my blood pressure.
