From reading postings in the past, I gather that most people who have commented about increased vitamin intake have not perceived vitamin supplements (and the like)to have any appreciable benefits for SD. I myself tried Vitamin B supplements (as suggested by a few friends) and noticed no difference in my voice. About 5 months ago, I started a daily regimen of drinking 1 tablespoon of wild blueberry concentrate diluted in a half glass of water (equivalent to 1 cup of wild blueberries). I did that because a friend said that a similar regimen had helped to lower her cholesterol significantly. Blueberries are among the best antioxidant sources, of course, and antioxidants have been shown to be good for the brain (and for improving night vision). Curiously, my ADSD voice is now stronger than it's been in a few years (though it's hardly my old "normal" voice). In fact, I haven't had a Botox injection in 6 months and my otolaryngologist told me yesterday that I should continue to postpone the next injection. I'm certainly not saying blueberries are any type of cure, but I'm wondering if other SD'ers have had any experience in upping their consumption of antioxidants. Sorry this was so long. Thanks, Larry
