Synopsis Bert Berkson is considered one of the key figures in the discovery of Alpha Lipoic Acid's miraculous antioxidant benefits, and he was among the first to use it to combat liver-related problems, such as--in one well publicized case--the ingestion of poisonous mushrooms. Lipoic acid is commonly found in foods such as red meat and spinach, but in a much larger dosage it can reverse the effects of aging (by reducing free radicals), and increase liver function. This is great news for people suffering from diabetes and hypoglycemia, as Alpha Lipoic Acid (or ALA) may improve insulin's ability to chauffeur glucose into the muscles and brain cells. Dr. Berkson explains who needs what amount and why, and the best form in which to take it. He makes a persuasive case and backs up his findings with scientific data and research.

This is the definitive book about its healing properties.
