Hi Matt- great to have you on board! Thanks for checking out the articles and wanting to get right onto the "good stuff"! This regimen will give you the best possible fighting chance at retaining what sight you have for the longest possible time. The sources of the vitamin A palmitate are listed in the "New Treatment Regimen" article at the end. Unfortunately this is not readily available at any pharmacy or health food place. Sure, you can get the other stuff, meaning the beta carotene form, but this is not what has been found to be of help. As well, the lutein sources are listed at the end of the Lutein study. Be advised that there is no 12 mg pill available; go with 2 6-mg pills. Other members of the group found that Puritan's Pride offers the best prices on the 6-mg gelcaps. You may be able to find lutein locally, but I don't know if the 6 mg pills will be on the shelf. The DHA (omega-3 rich fish) comes in the form of 1 or 2 small cans of tuna per week, or sardines or mackeral snacks. Please feel free to post early and often, Private Message (PM) anybody you feel you connect with, keep asking questions, laugh when needed, and remember that this is your group- we're all here for eachther! Wigz I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
