Re: Interview with Dr. Berkson and ALA vs FO/CC

March 10, 2009

This article / recording makes me wonder if alpha lipoic acid may be more potent

than flaxseed oil / cottage cheese (FO/CC) in treating cancer and healing livers

to help cancer patients.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA for this post) is an extremely powerful antioxidant. As

such, it is very strongly contraindicated for the Budwig approach. Even those

who think that most antioxidants in moderate doses may be okay with Budwig seem

to think that ALA will definitely interfere with Budwig, due to its oil-soluable

properties and its intra-cellular mechanism.

But just reading this interview makes me wonder. Big time. Especially because

I have neuropathy that ALA seems to help so much. And especially because the

chemo I took may have damaged my liver. And especially because ALA is a

chelator, and I probably have a ton of nasty platinum in my system.

Wow -- alternative medicine can be so hard when nobody will support scientific

studies into it. You have to speculate and self-test. Hopefully you don't run

out of time while self-testing.
