Eto i mene malo u alternativi. Inače sam jako skeptična u vezi većine "altrnativnih" pripravaka.. Ali ja pijem ALA (i to mega dozu 600mg) za svoju polineuropatiju (posljedica dijabetesa). I to mi je neurologica na Vuku Vrhovcu preporučila još prije 6 godina. A i dosta je bilo studija o toj kiselini koju tijelo samo proizvodi.
A korisna je i kod jetrenih bolesnika, ali u manjim dozama.
Pa sam sad našla neke linkove, da se koristi trojni antioksidativni protokol, baš kod hep C-a (ALA + selen + silimarin). Pa postam par linkova:

I evo par dijelova (evo mene, k'o na OTV-u telemarketing  )

Citat:Alpha Lipoic Acid protects the liver in numerous ways. First and foremost, this powerful antioxidant is soluble in both water and fat, so it can enter virtually all portions of cells to disarm free radicals. Alpha Lipoic acid also boosts levels of glutathione. When levels of glutathione are low, liver detoxification grinds to a halt, allowing toxins free rein. Lipoic acid restores flagging energy to the liver by helping usher glucose into the cells. Simply ensuring that the liver has adequate energy helps to restore normal function in this overworked organ.

Citat:The triple antioxidant combination of alpha-lipoic acid, silymarin and selenium was chosen for a conservative treatment of hepatitis C because these substances protect the liver from free radical damage, increase the levels of other fundamental antioxidants, and interfere with viral proliferation. The 3 patients presented in this paper followed the tripleantioxidant program and recovered quickly and their laboratory values remarkably improved. Furthermore, liver transplantation was avoided and the patients are back at work, carrying out their normal activities, and feeling health

Citat:A report on three patients with advanced liver disease associated with hepatitis C treated by the antioxidant approach was presented by a doctor at the Integrative Medical Center of New Mexico (34). Patients received a combination of silymarin, alpha-lipoic acid, and selenium and were said to have a quick alleviation of major symptoms and an improvement in liver enzyme levels.
