DH's feet were very painful and he winced when he walked. After a couple of months on the LCHF diet, they suddenly became worse. I read on this forum that could have meant the nerves were regrowing because of the diet. Lots of googling later, he started taking benfotiamine, R-lipoic acid and...

When I was 17, I suddenly started having problems focussing and had to get reading glasses. Then, I noticed that a whole bunch of my 6th form colleagues also suddenly needed glasses - both for long and short sight. Our classrooms were all lit by ordinary lightbulbs. However, the specs epidemic...
