Revisiting the ALA-N (alpha-lipoic acid - low-dose naltrexone) protocol for people with pancreatic cancer


By admin - Posted on 17 March 2011

Berkson BM, Rubin DM, Berkson AJ. Revisiting the ALA/N (alpha-lipoic acid/low-dose naltrexone) protocol for people with metastatic and nonmetastatic pancreatic cancer: a report of 3 new cases. Integr Cancer Ther. 2009 Dec;8(4):416-22. Erratum in: Integr Cancer Ther. 2010 Jun;9(2):247. PubMed PMID: 20042414

After 4 months of the ALA/N protocol his PET scan demonstrated no signs of cancer. In this article, the authors discuss the poly activity of ALA: as an agent that reduces oxidative stress, its ability to stabilize NF(k)B, its ability to stimulate pro-oxidant apoptosic activity, and its discriminative ability to discourage the proliferation of malignant cells. In addition, the ability of low dose naltrexone to modulate an endogenous immune response is discussed.
