Jim...

Recently there's been some really interesting research on the combination of ALC and alpha lipoic acid. Check this site:

www.juvenon.com

Before you dismiss it as another anti-aging scam, read some of the linked articles - I think they're on the level. The claims, and the prices, aren't out of line.

They're selling a product that contains both ALC and ALA, but the price isn't much more than if you bought them separately elsewhere.

Interesting article...I tried ALA and couldn't tolerate it. But the product is all about trying to prevent the issues with aging. And most peopple get Dup when they are older so it makes sense that if a product can give you back a substance that you lose as one ages that maybe it could be beneficial. My 2 cents on why it might work.

ALA

What were the side effects of ALA? What dosage were you taking?

Francis,

I'm sorry to say that you have picked up the net equivalent of a stocker who is sick and will not stop until you stop posting using "Fancies". I have enjoyed your posts and will probably recognize you in another incarnation. This little Troll will eventually get tired of using your name and go play on the freeway. It's evident that he HAVE no problems using your name :)

When I tried ALA or alpha lipoic acid I seemed to get heartburn...I can't remember the dose. But no side effects with acetyl l carnitine at all.

Dear Observer3,

Yes, I have picked up an internet stalker and haven't posted as _______ in a long time. All those posts under my name are his even if they look like my style because he has copied it to fool you....so I've changed my name and been laying low...the times I have posted, I have been careful to not use my usual style.

I suspect Dr. B. has probably been experiencing the same thing as me.... and all those crazy, repetative messages now make sense, ie: Bodois vs Badois, 'Research Indicates', 'Just returned' 'Thumbs up' etc... .

I think we've been arguing with someone who 1)became fixated with sending Dr. B patients as a perceived act of kindness or 2) someone who wishes to harass Dr B.

Which ever way - we'll never know, stalking is about controlling other people ....and *sheesh*....Ain't it a treat??????!

Thank you for the kind words about my posts observer.

Take care and God Bless

Insulin/Glucose Disorder in DC

Hello,

I am the author of the website www.dupuytrens-a-new-theory.com. Out of curiosity, I did a search to find associations between colchicine or acetyl-l-carnitine, and insulin.

It turns out that colchicine actually inhibits glucose initiated release of insulin, and acetyl-l-carnitine increases glucose storage without the help of extra insulin. This is yet more evidence that the theory presented in my web site is correct, which is that DC is caused by a disorder in how our bodies handle insulin and glucose.

But there are many ways for a person to develop a disorder in their handling of insulin and glucose, so it would be dangerous to assume that all persons with DC would benefit from colchicine and acetyl-l-carnitine administration. It is likely that this particular therapy would be most useful for persons who are insulin resistant, and perhaps hypoglycemic. But there are many other more natural and less dangerous ways to normalize a persons insulin/glucose system without resorting to powerful drugs such as this.

I found a great article a couple of days ago which would be helpful for anyone who is interested in learning about the negative effects of insulin in their body, where an insulin resistant person will have too much insulin in some tissues, and too little in other tissues:

Here is a link to some research on colchicine:

Here is a link to some research on acetyl-l-carnitine:

Now, I'm confused. I am planning to strt Acetyl-L;carnitine, twice a day. I thought I would start with 500 mg.in the morning and at night. It sounded like some people are hving some benefit from this, but I don't know about the glucose part. I know this is just a theory, but I'd like to know more.

This new theory sounds interesting, but all I know is that what I'm doing has worked with the ALC and colchicine. I might get tested for diabetes in the meantime though to see if this new theory holds any water for me.
