Alpha Lipoic Acid & Colon Cancer

[Guest guest]

This may be old news to some people here but I just ran across it today.

Apparently alpha lipoic acid promotes cell death(apoptosis) in human colon

cancer cells. It increases respiration in the mitochondria and therefore

increases the amount of oxygen in the cancer cell. Oxygen is toxic to cancer. I

can't find anything that gives a dosage but I've read before that 1800mg

improves neuropathy symptoms in diabetes and chemotherapy patients so I'm going

with that dosage until I hear differently. If anyone has any information on it

please let me know!
