"After 4 months on DCA -- Need Advice"
 
   I am a 29 year old battling slow growing form of non-hodgkins lymphoma.

I have been on DCA taking 10-11mg in water daily. I have been having with it 3-5 cups of black tea, along with 1,000mg of green tea capsules and 400mg of B-1. I had no side effects, but no visible changes enlarged lymph nodes and slight increase to number of lumps.

After 3 months on DCA, I increased black tea by putting two tea bags in each cup (equivalent to 7-12 cups. After a week, I noticed circulatory sensations in the legs and numbness in toes. In response I have taken a break from DCA and black tea. I increased B-1 to 800 mg; added calcium of 1500mg; added magnesium of 700mg. Side effects still remain.

- Any thoughts are appreciated on what I should be doing to deal with side effects

- Appreciate any thoughts on dosage of DCA and supplements when I restart.

Thanks.

   Are you taking B1, or benfotiamine? B1 does not stay too long in blood, and this might be a problem. Benfotiamine is the most bioavailable form of B1 and is highly recomended.

My sister takes 2 capsules from this one (2x250mg)

and 2-3 capsules from this one

Also, she takes 750mg alpha lipoic acid, (3 caps) from this one:

Alpha lipoic acid is a very good supplement that helps against peripheral neuropathy.

   DCA was a bust for me and my NHL. Lymph nodes grew huge while on DCA. Only thing it did was make me lose my appitite.
If you insist staying on DCA do not forgo medical care.

   I think the reason for your case is you should increase ur dose to 20mg/kg/day
I deal with a pharmacy in Aurora called Hollandview pharmacy they prepare it in capsule form mixed with a natural substance makes the absorption of DCA faster
I did my survey all over Canada & USA I found that this pharmacy has the most pure pharmaceutical grade of DCA
Their tel # 905-726-4400
they also deliver it for me

   The dose should not be exceeded whatever the doctor has prescribed you. Otherwise it will side-effect also.
