This is a very informative work about free radicals, anti-oxidants & longevity, focusing on the role of Alpha Lipoic Acid - also known as Thioctic Acid - and its ability to inhibit biological aging and maintain optimum health. An anti-oxidant co-enzyme, ALA has proved highly effective against liver damage, regulates blood sugar, inhibits viruses and decreases fat production.
ALA is special due to its ready bio-availability, presence in a variety of locations (tissues, cells, membranes, etc), interaction with other anti-oxidants, chelates free metal ions and neutralizes the following free radicals: superoxide, hydroxyl, peroxyl, hypochlorous, singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide & heavy metals. ALA is found in potatoes, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, yams, sweet potatoes and blue meat, particularly heart & liver.
Sosin highlights the role of the substance in combating cancer, diabetes & heart disease, and in neuroprotection with reference to Neuropathy, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's. Other chapters deal with this role of this potent anti-oxidant in inflammatory disorders, HIV, and vision disorders like macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma.
The special role of ALA in protecting internal organs and its benefits for athletes are examined whilst dosages are provided in chapter 15 which also has sections on possible side effects. I found chapter two, which is devoted to the main free radical culprits and the major protective anti-oxidants, of great interest. One can even work out your own anti-oxidant profile in a question-and-answers section.
Appendix A reflects the supplement program at a wellness institute. There is a resource guide for buying it as a supplement, a section on questions and answers, a very extensive bibliography of mostly articles from scientific journals and a thorough index. Other informative works on anti-oxidant therapies include Renewal: The Anti-Aging Revolution by Timothy j Smith, The Superhormone Promise by William Regelson and the great range of introductory guides by Dr Ray Sahelian.

My father was suffering terribly from the effects of aging, and we
were all seeking alternative supplements to help him. Sosin's book
gave some very thorough information on alpha lipoic acid. We double
checked this information at a good site...We found out that ALA is
good for us younger people too. Thanks to Sosin's book..., my
father is doing much better. He's back with us now.

If you start using a unsuspected pill to improve your life and it works you feel that the books are a gift. Where I live everything has to be scientificly proven. Pycnogenol is in the book and I use it against Restless Legs. The therapeutic recommendations are a great relieve for living on with Alpha Lipoic Acid. Not dangerous unless you take for 1000 US dollars a day. I started with 3 times 50 mg and are using now 9 times this doses. As my Glucose values dropped from average 11.5 mmol/liter to 7.5 mmol/liter I really feel fantastic. And I sleep the sleep of the innocent rather than the two hour Stressed naps. Great job by Allen Sosin. Great to have him via Amazon books on the Internet. Fred van Waaijen, 60 years old again going strong in Amsterdam the Netherlands, Europe.
