I was diagnosed with White Matter Disease when I had a MRI because of abnormal gait after prostate cancer treatment. Only thing I have read about that might help is a supplement called Piracetam which is supposed to increase blood flow to the brain.

Piracetam is not FDA approved as a drug or supplement. Most people with white matter disease are already on some type of blood thinner (even aspirin) and there are contraindications to not combine piracetam with blood thinners due to possible bleeding problems. I would recommend that anyone considering taking any kind of supplement to discuss it with their physician.

I have a neurologist appointment next Tuesday and will pass on any words of wisdom from him.
