MSH-Zinc & a lipoic acid hits receptors/side efects/dose

[Guest guest]

I have felt the research on L-Opti Zinc showed good absorption, and the best

alpha lipoic acid form and dose I am exploring. As you know, less in the first

week is better.

As all have said on this site, the first treatment for the body with low MSH, is

the end of meaningful exposure.

I am looking over dosing and have no final thoughts yet. I am not convinced it

will be messianic. But might help 10-15%. A literal guess.

The side effects of excess ALA are debated and I find very rare. But include at

times at significant dosing:

nausea and upset stomachs

excessive doses can lower blood sugar

allergic skin rash

At very high doses, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, might reduce minerals from your body,

e.g., iron.

thyroid effects are debated

alcoholics may have low B's, and need other interventions first

etc......

Other benefits are discussed here:

1) http://www.vitacost.com/products/reviews/ala/ala.html

2) http://www.smart-drugs.com/smart/info-lipoic.htm

3) The findings appear in the March 2003 issue of Diabetes Care,

http://care.diabetesjournals.org/.

" There appears to be a rather large effect on the pain of diabetic neuropathy

with ALA, " says Dyck, M.D., Mayo Clinic neurologist and peripheral nerve

specialist. " The magnitude of the change is considerable. We also found some

improvement in neurologic signs and nerve conduction. We were surprised by the

magnitude and the rapidity of the response. "

When patients were given ALA, also known as thioctic acid, the researchers found

statistically significant improvement in the symptoms of diabetic sensorimotor

polyneuropathy (DSPN) damage to multiple nerves caused by diabetes. The

researchers measured improvement by a total symptom score, a summation of the

presence, severity and duration of burning and sharply cutting pain, prickling

sensations and numbness. The patients who took ALA saw a 5.7-point total symptom

score improvement from the start of the trial, while those who took placebo, an

inactive substance, only improved 1.8 points. ALA produced no unfavorable side

effects in the patients taking this substance.

I cannot support or oppose any medical information in these third party

articles.

RE: [] MSH-Zinc & a lipoic acid

Thank you Dr. Schaller!

Is it possible to share with us " average " dosages of zinc and ALA as well as

the most highly absorbed forms.

We should also caution the members that zinc and ALA is not a cure for

anyone; only a small part of the protocol.

>>On Behalf Of jschaller

MSH receptors are stimulated by zinc and alpha lipoic acid.
