• Subject: TUDCA RP treatment
  
  I learned about Touroursodeoxycholic Acid (TUDCA) treatment to stop vision loss in RP at the June 2011 VISIONS conference. Since then I have begun, two weeks ago, to take the form available in the United States (Liver Longer by ThermoLife, available through amazon.com and various). I am searching for others who are taking TUDCA for RP or who are interested in this topic.
  
  The FFB is currently funding a study at a university in Oregon on non-human primates to determine the therapeutic dose of TUDCA for RP (though I understand that it is believed to start at 1500 mg/day). Basic info about TUDCA is available at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tauroursodeoxycholic_acid
  
  Please contact me if you would like to discuss the use of TUDCA to stop or slow vision loss in RP (my form of RP is probably autosomal dominant).
  
  I look forward to hearing from you!
