Dosages for these two? I'm already taking turmeric (curcurmin) for

inflammation. It seems to be helping optic neuritis. Can you point me in

the direction of more information besides what was posted a few days ago?

Thanks,

I know where to get curcumin (turmeric). I'm already taking it. I was

inquring here about recommended dosages from the herbalist, particularly

on milk thistle.

Alan, I'm taking two 300 to 450mg caps or tablets (depending on brand)

three times a day, with meals. That's twice the recommeded dosage on the

bottle. I don't think one can OD on it. I did notice at first that my

urine was more yellow, but that's stopped. As far as dosage, I'm winging

it, which I do a lot with this condition. My neuro knows nothing about

alternatives.

It seems as if the ON is improving. I'm starting to be able to read with

the right eye, when I close my left. I think it's worth a try, for

general inflammation if nothing else.

I think it would be cheapest to buy turmeric in the bulk spice section

and do your own capping. I'm a raw foodist and have started using it

more on food--spiced nuts and curries. Cooking it might change it's

properties. I dunno, it's not an issue because I don't heat food.

Martha,

You are on the right track, add " Lutein " and " Bilberry " to your supplements,

for your eyes.

Also " EPA " for good blood circulation especially for the blood vessels

aroubd your eyes.

Regards,

Tom
