Lindy-

The one that helps me the most with symptoms is the carnitine-lipoic combo advocated by Dr. Bruce Ames of Stanford. He claims it boosts failing mitochondria. I can tell a definite difference within 48 hours.

Mucuna, of course.

Vit D if you are low.

And the self hypnosis does seem to have reduced my dk although I'm still observing.
