I have peripheral neuropathy of my feet but I don’t have diabetes.
I have done some research on the use of alpha lipoic acid but it always refers to diabetic neuropathy. Does this imply that
Lipoic acid is of no use for none diabetic neuropathy

I think there is evidence that it helps more than diabetic neuropathy although there seems to be a lot more research on diabetic neuropathy. Here are a few other references on ALA.

Alpha Lipoic Acid
http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/dietary-factors/lipoic-acid
Research seeks to identify the mode of action of two age-essential micronutrients,
lipoic acid (LA) and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR)

Alpha Liopic Acid works on neuropathy. Mine is autoimmune neuropathy but I tried taking Alpha Lipoic Acid. It worked somewhat but it does not reduce the nerve pain for me. Germany has been doing the IV form and it’s proven to work the best. I tried it and swelled up huge and quit taking it. It threw my labs off also. My liver enzymes were high. I stopped and they went back to normal. The doctors say there has not been enough studies into it but there has. Just be careful of anything abnormal I did not catch the side effects because I naturally swell up with the neuropathy.
