  • Do you remember in 1977 when people were eating poisonous mushrooms? That event turned Dr. Berkson’s medical career around!
    Dr. Berkson was trained very conventionally, but when people were dying of liver failure from eating poisonous mushrooms, his PhD study of fungi turned his career from conventional medicine to a more natural approach. Dr. Berkson, along with his friend Dr. Fred Barter, discovered a treatment plan using Alpha Lipoic Acid that showed to reverse liver damage. In fact, 75 out of 79 patients treated with Alpha Lipoic Acid therapy regenerated their liver, preventing transplant surgery!
    Join Dr. Hotze with his special guest Dr. Burton Berkson, of The Integrative Medical Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico. He is also the author of best-selling book, The Alpha Lipoic Acid Breakthrough. Alpha lipoic Acid is a natural molecule that is produced by every cell in the body. It converts your food to energy, recycles antioxidants (i.e. Vitamins C & D), stimulates glutathione production, restores T-cell function, and stimulates healthy mitochondria function.

    I heard Dr. Berkson on a doctor's radio show in NYC well over 20 years ago. Around that time I had contracted Hepatitis B. By the grace of God my friend called me to listen. I started his triple antioxidant therapy and saved my life! Now over 20 years passed my liver is ok. Thank God for Dr. Berkson!

    I've been taking ALA for several years along with time release Vitamin C, 20,000 to 40,000 IU's of Vitamin D3, along with K2, and Selenium. Since most people are deficient in Magnesium and Zinc, I also take these supplements as well. I also gave up sugar, all four grains, and Dairy, excep for eggs, I eat one meal a day and I've lost 65 lbs in 18 months. At 5'7", My waist went from 38 to 33, I'm 69 and don't look a day over 40. Most people don't believe me when I tell them I'm 69, I have to show them my drivers license.

I was taking a different ALA until I listened to this you tube video from a doctor that explained the 3 different kinds of ALA you can purchase, and which one was the most effective. R-ALA is the most effective for neuropathy...

    Thank you for this wonderful interview with The doctors. The question is what form is the appropriate form of alpha lipoid acid to consume. Many people are saying that the R form is better, both the R in the S is also good. Does the S form cancel out the benefits of the R form? I’m so confused about which one to take. For the last two years we’ve been taking both the R and the S form. I have no specific ailment, it’s just for general health maintenance so of course I don’t notice any difference in how I feel. Could anyone please shed some light?

      Fibroscan 1: 18
      Fibroscan 2: 56
      Fibroscan 3: 7.34
      Apparently that makes me stage 2.
      Among the many things I tried was alpha lipoic acid, liquid from geranova labs. I also took 2k vitamin c daily in a fat base (liposomal). Weekly external treatment with a Castor oil pack with a heating pad on the outside of the liver.
      Dandelion root and other liver formulas.
      There is a company that makes powdered r-ala that is stablized and i wouldn't be surprised if you could add it to an IV. (I'm not telling you to do that)
      I want to add that the doctors never saw a Fibroscan change so dramatically.
      I had hep C and it is also gone from their super expensive prescription pills.

It's their goal in life to put people they are supposed to be treating on a hamster wheel of care, 1. See the Doctor, 2. He prescribes medication, 3. You take the medication (hoping to get better), 4. Either the medication doesn't work or causes side effects, You go back to number 1. See the Doctor, this way he has a constant source of income based off not making you better.
