30. "RE: Lipoic Acid as a prooxidant"
In response to message #29
 
Yeah, I'm revamping my list now... learning more about half-life and mechanism of action of various supplements. With Artemisinin (and I believe DCA) we want to cause ROS, so yes free radicals are good. But some antioxidants (like vitamin C and quercetin) have such a short half-life that they can be taken away from Artemisinin (which also has a short half-life). This allows healthy cells to be strengthened, within impeding the pro-oxidant action of Artemisinin. DCA's long half-life is still confusing me as to what to keep or toss, and many supplements are needed with DCA to reduce PN, so I'm not taking it right now.
