Hm... I try to read everything, but there is a lot here. And it is hard to remember everything. I have recently been trying to make a list of things that might be helpful, and this is now going on it: alpha lipoic acid. (or it's more recent conterpart). Thanks for the links. I'm off to do some checking.
