Very helpful

I am lucky enough to be living in the UK. I read this book back in January when the GP referred me to a Hepatologist suspecting problems with my liver due to a high enzyme level. I was already following a decent diet. I added ALA to my supplements and due to the COVID outbreak didn’t have another test since January. My results a month ago though indicated that the count had gone back to normal.

A really great book about a breakthrough that slows down the ageing process and you can do from home. Safely and naturally.

What's way better than the book is seeing the evidence of your liver healing before your very eyes. Thank you for your tireless work, Dr. Berkson!

After watching Dr. Berkson present his findings on using Alpha Lipoic Acid via IV therapy as well as orally, I was intrigued. This book refelcts much of what he presented but also gives easy to understand medical information on how Alpha Lipoic Acid helps heal so many body systems. I was impressed with this man and his work. The book will make a good addition to my medical library.

This antioxidant has many health benefits. I felt the book lacked information on dosage.
