I will say—ALA truly changed my life. I had neuropathy for four years after my nerves were nicked and damaged during surgery on my L5-S1. It was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced.
I took a combined 1,800 mg of R-ALA with S-ALA, and it ended up healing me after those four years of constant pain. Around the four-month mark, I started getting feeling back in my foot. By about eight months, the phantom sensations—ice, knives, bugs crawling, fire—all started to fade until they were completely gone.
I stayed on it for two years straight, and now it’s been six years since then.
I’m so sorry your father is suffering. Maybe the pill form would be easier for him to take?
I’m also a strong believer in IV administration. The cocktail you mentioned earlier actually stopped my grandfather’s myasthenia gravis from progressing. This was back in 1989. He received daily and weekly IV infusions. The muscle control didn’t fully return in his eyebrow and part of the left side of his face, but it stopped the autoimmune disease right in its tracks and it never came back. He lived another 40 years, he died at 98 with a full hair of head and sharp as a tack!
