I have Meniere’s Syndrome with constant ringing in my ears, and I started using Acetyl-L-carnitine; Source Naturals brand, a few months ago, and have definite improvement in memory, energy, and attitude. My husband called it a “miracle.” Not sure about that, but when I stopped taking it for a couple of days (just because I was feeling so good), I was sorry, and returned quickly to taking it every day. Here’s a snippet and a link to more information:
Acetyl-L-carnitine is an amino acid (a building block for proteins) that is naturally produced in the body. It helps the body produce energy.
Acetyl-L-carnitine is used for a variety of mental disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, age-related memory loss, late-life depression, thinking problems related to alcoholism, and thinking problems related to Lyme disease. It is also used for Down syndrome, poor circulation in the brain, cataracts, nerve pain due to diabetes, nerve pain due to drugs used in the treatment of AIDS, and facial paralysis.
My mother’s dementia and mood have improved markedly on turmeric, two+ years now. I have her gerontologist sold on it.

Not sure of the spices, maybe it’s the number of lashes you get for punishment.
It’s also supposed to help prevent some cancers.
From the article “ as evidenced by the fact that this drug class carries an alarmingly high risk of causing seizures, according to World Health Organization post-marketing surveillance statistics.”
I was taking turmeric twice a day when I started seeing my neurologist for seizures. I also told her about the bad nerve pain in my leg. She told me to increase the turmeric to 3 times per day. She was very impressed with the supplements I was/am taking when my other doctors thought I was wasting my money. 3 times per day seems to have stopped the nerve pain.
I think she is more open to some supplements because she is from India and practices western medicine with a little eastern thrown in. She went to medical school in India or Pakistan. I can’t remember which country.
I have not had any increase in the number or strength of the seizures since I began taking turmeric and this is the first time I have heard of any damage of seizures. They are finally under control, I cut out the diet drinks and now only have an occasional seizure. The goal is no seizures but going from seizures a couple times a week to maybe every 2-3 months is fine with me.
Thanks for posting this.
This thread has gotten a bit off topic, so I will post a question that is off topic as well.
Has anyone had any luck treating severe Ehlers
Danlos Syndrome naturally?
