@gnocchi alpha lipoic acid has been used by IV by Germany since the early 1951. . They have discovered that the pill doesn’t work as good as the IV. Germany requires a prescription since its IV.
Why the US hasn’t researched it is beyond me since it has been around so long. As an RN to me it’s frustrating knowing something is out there since the early 1950’s.

You can get alpha lipoic acid by IV in some cities in Canada. Its not provided by medical practitioners but by naturopaths and other holistic places so makes me wander about it.

With that said if I had known about this before I would have tried it but it Im no longer living in a place where its offered. With that said you would think there would be reports about it.
I guess you could travel to try it. You dont need a prescription for naturopaths or holistic practioners. I believe they just take your money…
