Would a Luiten supplement be advisable for improved eye health?

I am trying a number of supplements especially to repair nerve damage like alpha lipoic acid and Vitamin B3 (Glaucomin). I am also in a Syntonics program. I am sure this takes time to be effective. However, I would like to consider the other programs as well that do not involve surgery or medication. I have also taken supplements that contain Lutein, but I am not sure this will help repair the optic nerve.

I've spent lots of time looking. I have heard of the Fredrov Restoration Clinic though in Germany. I've heard about acupuncture, red light therapy and the electrical stimulation (can't remember it's scientific name) but I think there's still more proof needed that they work. I know in America they're working on ways to regenerate cells in the optic nerve as I'm part of one of their many studies to find genetic forms. I think in the near distant future there will be trials over there for humans. But to answer your question, I think more research needs to be done on alternative therapies. Although it wouldn't hurt exploring 🙂

I have been wondering the same. I am interested to know about the restore clinic in Germany?

It is called FEDOROV Restore Vision in Germany. It is expensive, and they have to evaluate you to see if you qualify for the program.
