I read this as a comment somewhere else...? Never heard of these used for nerve healing.

Thought ALA was only liver detoxer.

My LLMD had me try Inositol as an experiment a few years back, she said if I didn't try it, she would.

I think I purchased a one pound powder bulk pack starting with 1/4 tsp per day on 4/6/14, then doubled by 4/21/14. Ran out 3/27/15 and stopped. Saw no benefit. But who knows.

I took ALA last summer, along with some NAC, for all the tingling pain in my extremities. It didn't make the pain go away, and then I got nerve conduction tests done which said that my nerves are perfectly healthy, so....

I still tingle. No one knows why!!!

LOL.

I think it's useful, but not a magic bullet. I'm thinking about restarting it as a part of a larger amino-acid supplementation protocol.
