HI,

Hello,
My son was also recently diagnosed but I have been told that if the eye is taken care of propely (i.e. taking natural supplements, etc) the progression of the disease can be slowed down. I am hopeful that the same will occur for my son. Have you attempted to consult with your physician on any supplements that may be good for you? Hope this helps.
hi,
I was advised to take vitamin A palmitate-!5,000 iu and Lutein 12 mg daily... also added Omega 3 (check out Dr. Barnes 's regime on FFB
Good luck
BTW -how old is your son?
Thanks for the reply! I have heard this as well - will begin to try & hoping for the best. Appreciate the response.
I was diagnosed with Retinitis pigmentosa when I was 4, and I would like to know more about it, as I am doing a project at school about it.
