Default Alpha Lipoic Acid and Neuropathy

I spoke to Katherine234 yesterday. (Her story here: http://www.ispine.org/forum/surgical...europathy.html)

I was so happy to hear that she has made great progress. She's been working since she was a few months postop, but in the early months, it was a constant struggle. Someone suggested a homeopathic treatment for her radiculopathy... Alpha Lipoic Acid. She's been taking it for several weeks and is VERY happy. She percieves great improvement, clearly related to the new treatment. I hope she'll come along and give you her experience with it.

Anyone hear of this? Here is an article about this treatment for peripheral neuropathy:
