So here is the villain bit of the story…
Rather than being added to the medical journal as a revolutionary and speedy recovery story…
Sadly, Dr Berkson was severely criticised for not following medical protocol and was told to ‘quit fooling around with alpha lipoic acid!’
But it doesn’t stop there with the recriminations he suffered for being a ‘misfit’ in the hospital system…
Other patients at the hospital who similarly were on death's door with liver failure... under Dr Berkson’s care were administered alpha lipoic acid against hospital requests because he couldn’t bear to see them die.
Because of Berkson’s misconduct he was accused of harming these patients.
The hospital then went on to alter the records of these patients while continuing to ostracise and humiliate Berkson.
Eventually, Berkson opened his own private practice where he passionately continued to save patients with liver disease.
With the incredible support of Dr Bartler, Dr Berskon continued his work with alpha lipoic acid with amazing success.
Here’s the scariest thing about Berkson’s story…
Without his courageous endeavour to listen to his smart doctor instincts, many ethical doctors would be deep in despair about how to heal their patients liver before it’s too late!
Because still to this day Berkson's breakthrough for liver disease is seen as controversial.
But of course Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about alpha lipoic acid because they're not fleecing their pockets with millions of dollars of our precious and hardworking money!
