Therefor I am taking exercise, physical therapy and supplements as my primary treatment regimen. I am taking daily: vitamin A (as Beta Carotine) 5,000 IU vitamn B complex 50 mg ea (except folic acid--400 mcg and Biotin and vit B12---50 mcg ea) vitamin C 2,000 mg vitamin D 400 mg vitamin E 400 mg calcium 1,000 mg magnesium 400 mg zinc 15 mg CoQ10 60 mg grape seed extract proanthocyanidins antioxident 60 mg (similar to pycnogenol) I realize I may be merely creating expensive urine, but I don't care if it does me no harm. ---Milo -- Milo V.
