Dr. Berkson & Alpha Lipoic Acid

Dr. Berkson, MD, PhD, operates a clinic in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and specializes in all forms of liver disease and complications of diabetes.

With 40 years of experience, his primary approach with recovery is what he terms, the Triple Antioxidant Protocol.

This includes oral and intravenous Alpha Lipoic Acid, selenium and the herb Milk Thistle or Silymarin.

One of many case studies include 79 patients scheduled for liver transplants.  This, of course, is end stage liver failure.

Of these, 75 recovered healthy liver function and did not require the transplant.

In this interview, he explains why this simple and highly effective approach was never accepted by either the hospital/medical system or pharma because it would decrease their income (drugs, surgeries and hospital stays).
