Here's my office for this morning. I'm hidden at a local cafe, behind a bamboo fence. Fun to change it up. I love living right in GL, able to walk a block to fun little spots. Since I don't drive, it's important for me to feel connected to the community. Note my editor, Emma
My day is another, full of research. I've been looking into adding DCA into my supplements. Apparently, it can help the mitochondria of cancer cells start to function properly. The mitochondria is the guy in the cell that does several things including programing apoptosis (cell death). That's the problem with cancer cells or damaged cells in general, they don't want to die. DCA also helps break the process of glycolysis for cancer energy, among other things. There are a few supplements that you need to take along with the DCA, like thiamine, and alpha lipoic acid. I would need to be careful about caffeine because it can potentiate the effects, but I think I could be careful and figure it all out. I've been reading up on DCA for the past few weeks. It seems like a nice addition to my treatments.
I'm off to focus on the DCA. Enjoy your day!
FYI Jess, this is how my integrative practioner advised I take DCA
ReplyDeletedissolve in water, take on empty stomach (i do mine first in morning otherwise with everything else it gets lost)
followed by black tea for the caffeine - I use a lovely Rose Congou black tea - a treat after the foul tasting DCA!
Verity, I just checked out your website - it's fabulous! I wish we lived closer, I would see if I could get a tea date. You are such a warrior, and a researcher, I really admire you :) May I ask how much DCA you take each morning?
