Well, we don't know the details of what people often post on the net.

There are many variants of CMT. In the recent past it looked promising that high dose Vit C could help, but then when the trials happened, it was disappointing.

Rodent studies don't always translate to humans. I recently saw a figure of about 60% only may apply to humans after rodent study successes.

There is no harm in trying them, however that I know of. You will want
to make sure your kidneys are working normally, however.

If you do the E, get natural and one with all the forms combined, including gamma. Natural ones typically end in --OL (tocoferOL)
and not --YL
