17. "RE: DCA and the MAAI pathway/artemisinin"
In response to message #16
 
   Didier,

The most interesting work with artemisinin compounds may be that of Drs. Lai and Singh at the University of Washington. Because cancer cells have an extraordinary number of transferrin receptors, their lab has developed a way to covalently tag artemisinin to transferrin. If memory serves, they indicate tagged artemisinin may be 2800 times more powerful than 100% pure extract.

No links at hand but googling 'Lai Singh cancer artemisinin" will keep you busy :-)

Since DCA appears to be metabolically self-limiting, I'm wondering about a higher dose of DCA interleaved with some combination of artemisinin and artesunate & possibly artemether during the time needed for DCA to clear blood plasma.

Randy
