Suggest Natural Remedy For Pseudotumor Cerebri.

I'm looking for natural care options for a friend who was just diagnosed with ;\pseudotumor cerebri. All I find on the internet is weight loss. Are there any vitamins that would be helpful as well? Obviously she'll have to keep in touch with her doctor too.
