Hey Cindy, Crush up some vitamin C tablets with olive oil... That may help. If you are really brave you can add some Alpha Lipoic Acid (it comes in tablets too) and DMAE oil. Vitamin C about 3 tables Alapha Lipoic Acid Tablet with less that is about 100 - 300 mg 1/8 cup olive oil 1/16 cup of DMAE (about a tablespoon or so ....depending) Not medical opinion, of course, but old wive's tale
