[url=http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/05/16/This-Antioxidant-Can-Smash-Insulin-Resistance-and-Autoimmune-Disease.aspx]The Benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) has many functions, but it’s one of the most effective free radical scavengers, and the only one known to easily get into your brain.

It also has the ability to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamins C, E, and glutathione. So, when your body has used up these antioxidants, if there’s ALA around, it helps regenerate them. [/url]


Quote:
But, if that wasn’t enough, this powerful antioxidant is also:

* A great modifier of gene expression to reduce inflammation
* A very potent heavy metal chelator
* An enhancer of insulin sensitivity

The benefits of ALA can appear near miraculous. For example, according to Dr. Berkson, Russia has successfully used ALA intravenously to reverse ischemia reperfusion injuries by injecting it right after a heart attack or a stroke.

And people with diabetes or metabolic syndrome tend to do much better when taking lipoic acid, as it enhances insulin sensitivity.

There’s even been quite a bit of research showing it can restore T cell function. T cells are a type of white blood cells that are of key importance to your immune system, and are at the core of adaptive immunity, the system that tailors your body's immune response to specific pathogens.

What Health Conditions Can be Treated With Alpha Lipoic Acid?

Clinically, alpha lipoic acid seems to be a useful supplement in treating hepatitis C. It can also be used for painful nerve conditions in diabetes, and may help slow down the aging process itself through its reduction in free radicals.

Dr. Berkson uses ALA along with low dose naltrexone (LDN) for the reversal of a number of more serious health conditions such as:

* Lupus
* Rheumatoid arthritis
* Dermatomyositis (an inflammatory muscle disease)
* Autoimmune diseases

Most of his patients normalize in about one month on this combination of ALA and LDN.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoic_acid]Biological sources

Lipoic acid is found in almost all foods, but slightly more so in kidney, heart, liver, spinach, broccoli, and yeast extract.[23][24] Naturally occurring lipoic acid is always covalently bound and not immediately available from dietary sources. Additionally, the amount of lipoic acid present is very low. For example: the purification of lipoic acid to determine its structure used an estimated 10 tons of liver residue, which yielded 30 mg of lipoic acid.[25] As a result, all lipoic acid available as a supplement is chemically synthesized.

[edit] Use as a dietary supplement

Since the early 1990s lipoic acid has been consumed as a dietary supplement, typical doses are 100–200 mg/day. A chronic/carcinogenicity study in rats reported that racemic lipoic acid was found to be non-carcinogenic and did not show any evidence of target organ toxicity. The NOAEL is considered to be 60 mg/kg bw/day.[26][/url]




8) ;) So the organic way to to is organs some offal with spinach, broccoli, on the side with yeast extract??? consumed as beer? or champaign ? 8)


Tried to link it with beer and got back to it feeding the candida bacteria that ultimately Aluminum from canned food and drink will dry out and crack mucus membranes. That lets Candida/yeast (fed by beer) eat holes in the GI tract. Wipe out heavy metal exposure with weekly R-Lipoic Acid taken with Slippery Elm Bark tablets eaten first to sooth the stomach lining. :roll:

Heres some more good news on the topic... :lol: not about the dangers of canned beer...

Lipoic Acid may Help to Live Long, Free of Degenerative Disease

Quote:
"Our studies have shown that mice supplemented with lipoic acid have a cognitive ability, behaviour, and genetic expression of almost 100 detoxification and antioxidant genes that are comparable to that of young animals. They aren't just living longer, they are living better and that's the goal we're after," Hagen said.

The scientists say that lipoic acid reduces mitochondrial decay in cells, which is closely linked to the symptoms of ageing.

They say that with age, glutathione levels naturally decline and make older animals more susceptible to both free radicals and other environmental toxins, but lipoic acid can restore glutathione function to near normal.

"We never really expected such a surprising range of benefits from one compound. This is really unprecedented, and we're pretty excited about it," Hagen said.



8) ;) so add that to the anti aging benefits of vitamin C.......

8) :sun: I looked it up and...'
[url=http://www.canceractive.com/page.php?n=470]Concurrently with the high dose intravenous vitamin C, we use supplements, the most important of which is lipoic acid.

Lipoic acid has been found to enhance the cancer killing effect of vitamin C, and the mechanism for this is unknown.

The only side effect we see in this treatment is tiredness due to tumour cell death, as well as increased fluid accumulation in particular groups of patients, as mentioned above.

So in conclusion, even though chemotherapy has such a high quality evidence base, it doesn't mean that other, less well-researched treatments do not also work.[/url]

8) it forms a key ingredient to immortality

The latest research on longevity and supplements (or other health practices) can be found at LifeExtension.com or the highly-informative forums at The Immortality Institute site.


:roll: they seem to require a whole pharmacy of ingredients here...


Maybe we should just go to the liver as a superfood site...

Liver: nature’s most potent superfood

therefore I'd go with the offal served with some Kakadu plums [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_C]Plant source Amount
(mg / 100g)
Kakadu plum 3100
Camu Camu 2800
Rose hip 2000
Acerola 1600
Seabuckthorn 695
Jujube 500
Indian gooseberry 445
Baobab 400
Blackcurrant 200
Red pepper 190
Parsley 130
Guava 100[/url]

much more fun and tastier than a handful of vitamins.... washed down with some herbal tea... maybe rosehip..
