I take Blackstrap (Molasses) Iron 150mg once a day and this also has

Vitamin C in it for greater asorbtion. I also take 1 Vitamin E gelcap

at 1000 mg each day. These were recommended to me by my Internist and

have definitely " proved " themselves.

But I get some REAL dose of supplements from drinking the purest

artesian water, FijiWater. This has more information than I can write

this water since 1997, and have studied quite a bit about it from the

2 books written. The silica content has indeed helped me - besides

helping me give up cafeine, sodas, and sweets all together, 2 or 3

liters a day keeps my hydrated and the blood flowing to the muscles

where the silica helps muscle, nerve and connective tissue. My water

goes with me - to appointments, meetings, exercise and is here at the

computer. Any guest at my house knows Fijiwater is always " on tap " .

Because CMT is a genetic disorder (and I do not know my specific

type, other than neuronal) there is no arrestment YET. NT-3 and

Vitamin C studies both have showed great promise, although further

research is needed. Since CMT is not an immune disorder, treatments

like those for CIDP won't work.

I believe in taking care of myself in the best ways possible, FOR ME.

Another " natural supplement " I use from time to time is a NAP. A bit

of extra sleep does wonders for me and the quality of my life. I hope

you can find some ways to help your " friend " .

Dear Grethen,

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me what supplements work for

you. I am gradually piecing together a regimine for my friend who has CMT1. Of

course, we will want his doctor to monitor his absorption of the vitamins and

minerals, especially.

Thank you especially for the info. about the water!
