Thanks for an inspirational message! I myself have used all of the nutritional support you mention, including alpha lipoic acid. However, I have a few questions regarding ALA;
1. You are using very high doses of ALA which is a digestive tract irritant. Do you take any precautions so that you tolerate such doses?
2. Do you take it with or inbetween meals?
3. Do you even take a dose during the night? Hope not, I need my sleep... :]
I'm going to follow your excact guidelines regards ALA in spite of a very poor digestive tract. Hope the benefits outweight.
