lynchknot Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 My mom is going blind, due to diabetes. There is a synthetic vitamin B1 - (benfotiamine) that has been shown to block all 3 damage pathways in cells lining blood vessels. Here's the story: http://www.katu.com/health/story.asp?ID=54756It is not available in the US - yet.I have tried to look up the German Pharmacy's website: http://www.schadow-apotheke.de/ - but bablefish is not too useful and there was no listing for that vitamin (as far as I can tell)I have been searching the web with no success for hrs. If anyone knows of an outlet to purchase this vitamin please help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
