Alpha Lipoic Acid


Recommended Posts

I picked up some today for DD6 for detox reasons. She is currently on Clarity-K per our LLMD for detox help. I haven't really seen a difference in using it. She started with a flare over Christmas with flulike symptoms. We did add in zith, in addition to her Augmentin, at the first sign of the flare up. This time around, her flare up was very mild, but it is still not gone. I'm looking for detox help. Maybe it will help a little. I got the 365 brand from Whole Foods and the tablets are 100 mgs. What is the typical dosage? My DD6 is about 55 pounds.

Colleen,

My son (85 lbs) takes 600mg ALA when he's flaring (my DD also takes same amt. sometimes - she's 50 lbs). They take it once or twice a day. My son says it helps with brain fog. But it isn't the "wow" impact you might hope for. It's just one of the things I give to keep things tamped down. Someone here is using a type of glutathione that seems to be helping. Hoping they'll chime in.

If you are looking for the magic bullet, this isn't it. DS has been on Xymogen ALAmax CR for nearly a yr now. 600 mg. I get it from his biomed doc. He still had another PANS exacerbation after pneumonia and required a second IVIG 8 months after starting biomed treatment, and we are still struggling 2 months after IVIG.
