Alpha Lipoic Acid Breakthrough: The Superb Antioxidant That May Slow Aging, Repair Liver Damage, and Reduce the Risk of Cancer, Heart Disease, and Diabetes

I bought this book 5 years ago, but first in the past week I rediscovered it, when I after in another book had been reading about Alpha Lipoic Acid, (ALA), and then started searching after book writings concerning this subject. And then, after rediscovering this book, and starting reading in it, I found it so interesting, easy to read, and with much important information, that I continuing reading each time I had the time. And after having finished the book I then went searching after other writings by Burt Berkson, but in vain. And when I then went looking after other newer writings about ALA, I only found doctor books each to the prices being around $130 - 150. During my life I have been reading many doctor and health books, and now owing more than 300, which mostly are of very new printings, and in many of these books I have been reading about ALA, but not containing many lines about this subject. And first by reading this book I learned about especially how good the ALA is for helping the persons who is destroying their liver by alcohol, or for the persons suffering by diabetic. And personally two of my friend are living with these problems, that is one having the Liver problem and the other the diabetic problem, and none of these persons, by their doctors, have heard anything about the ALA! Concerning the amount of ALA we in the book only are reading that personally Burt Berkson is using 100 mg/daily, and we don't get any special advises. So I went to the Internet, and among other, by the Harvard Medical School, I saw that they, by their researches, have been using 600 - 1,200 mg/day of ALA. After this information I then went to the biggest Pharmacy chop, for there for the first time to buy ALA pills, and there it then showed up, that in Thailand we only are hawing 50 mg ALA pills! But in connection to this, when I 2 years ago, at Amazon, then ordered Progesterone crème, which don't exist here in Thailand, I by Amazon was told that they could not send this to me, as the lows in Thailand don't allow private person to buy any kind of pills or drugs from other countries! So I now also, concerning the ALA, have to start telling the doctors about the ALA problem, as I still are continuing doing especially concerning the missing Progesterone, and K2 vitamin; there are also other normal health items which we can't buy in the Pharmacy chops. In the writing above I am telling about the Liver and the Diabetes, but besides the importance of the ALA in its connection to these problems, we also, throughout the book, are learning about many of the other cases in which the ALA also is involved; as for example Aging, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, Cancer, Strokes, the Eye, and so on. And in the start of the book we are reading a thoughtful story about the sawing of the lives of 4 persons who had been poisoned by Mushroom, as Burt Berkson then knew about the problem from his PH.D studying time. Interesting to learn this about Mushroom poisoning, and ALA, as we here in Thailand daily are eating Mushroom, opposite to when living in Denmark, where we only in the month of September, out on the free area are having Mushrooms. And it's also interesting in the book to learn, that in Europe, they now during around 40 years have been using the ALA, and especially concerning the Liver problems, Diabetes, and the Eye. But in any case an import book, during the reading of which I learned more new, and important facts.

The "modern" medical world will tell you it's not possible, but alpha lipoic acid infusions can cure cirrhosis of the liver, and I have seen it with my own eyes (from individuals we met at Dr. Berkson's clinic in New Mexico and a friend we referred there due to his condition). My husband was treated by Dr. Berkson for my husband's pancreatic cancer (unfortunately it was not a cure for my husband, but it did help). My husband and I both still take alpha lipoic acid infusions because of its antioxidant qualities and a host of other benefits (my husband is currently on a clinical trial for his cancer and is responding well). BTW, Dr. Berkson recommends the Metabolic Maintenance brand of ALA in pill form (good as a daily supplement, but not as powerful as the infusions). There aren't a lot of places that do the infusions, but I know from personal experience that you can get them at Dr. Berkson's clinic in Las Cruces, NM or at Absolute Health in Fairfield, CA (Dr. Anjali Chanana-Gupta) or at Bio Health Center in Reno, NV (Dr. David Edwards). Also, if these locations don't work for you, you can call the McGuff Compounding pharmacy in Santa Ana. They sell the highest quality ALA product and will tell you where they send it which may give you a clue as to who is doing the infusions.... I could go on and on about this stuff. Just get the book, read it, and start taking ALA. You won't be sorry!!! Also, Dr. Berkson is the REAL DEAL. He is a fantastic person who is using science to cure people with natural, healing, non-toxic treatments. Our stupid laws prevent doctors from making claims about non-FDA approved drugs ($600 million a pop to get a drug approved), but all you have to do is sit in the infusion room with the plethora of people he is helping, and you will know all you need to know....

Love this book. Got this additional copy to pass on to family and friends. Alpha lipoic acid has helped my health greatly. This is my third copy. Book was pristine new and received it quickly.

This book is filled with vital information that can improve health, and even save one's life. The supplement, Alpha Lipoic Acid, is a liver detoxifier. Very few people live on a pure-food diet. Consequently, so many of us have health-related issues that involve a compromised liver. Dr. Burt Berkson's book, "The Alpha Lipoic Acid Breakthrough" is an excellent eye-opener and educational guide for the health of the liver.

Great, practical advice given for anyone interested in optimizing their health.

I enjoyed this book! These complex concepts were presented in a way that was easy to understand. There wasn't a lot of extraneous chit chat to have to drag through. He got right to the point and explained what I bought the book for.

Dr. Berkson is brilliant and keeps things simple. In my 2012 book CURING COURTNEY, you'll see how his research has helped HEAL MY DAUGHTER OF AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS WITHIN 3 MONTHS! THIS, AFTER 5 YEARS OF A FAILED TRADITIONAL DRUG TREATMENT IN THE #1 NYC HOSPITAL!!! He helps you to HEAL MANY DEADLY AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. This book teaches in a way that's logical. After you read it, you'll do further research ...read CURING COURTNEY...and you may not listen to the standard medical establishment anymore because Dr. Berkson has so much more scientific data published throughout the years that you can find on the internet. YOU MUST BUY THIS BOOK...it's a primer. Then you'll go on-line to learn about his latest research and ways to heal these deadly diseases. GRATEFULLY, Denise O. Curing Courtney: Doctors Couldn't Save Her...So Her Mom Did

The information on alpha lipoid acid are pretty interesting. Although, misleading information on nutrition are written in this book. The author claims saturated fats are what causes high cholesterol, which we all know isn’t true. The author could’ve focused on alpha lipoid acid a bit more in my opinion and leave other subjects aside.

I have been following dr burt and watched his videos about ALA, as a doctor I was amazed to see there are lot of stuff that can benefit and increase longevity to humanity and this book does that, I had prescribed ALA to my patients and seen great improvements in overall health. Thank you dr burt.

Para quienes se interesan por la salud es un libro que deben leer. Muy buen escrito y fácil de comprender y poner en práctica.

A very interesting and well written book. The content confirmed what we have been aware of for some time. Anyone interested in escaping the clutches of the pharmaceutical industry should have it available.
