I wish you well.

The blood tests are to monitor electrolytes (salts) and other things relating to general health. Talk to your sister's doctor about tumor lysis syndrome. Print some articles for them. I'd suggest taking your sister off DCA until she is stable and then resume at a low dose of 10-15mg/kg/day. Watch for side effects again and if they appear, lower the dose or take her off again for a few days. I think DCA is so effective that we all have to be careful about the side effects of tumor death.

Take care,
Sandra

So don't OVERDO it!

I'd again like to caution people who are experiencing symptoms of TUMOR LYSIS SYNDROME to reduce their dose of DCA and get blood work done ASAP. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A LIFE THREATENING CONDITION! Please read the links on TLS in my post at the top of this thread. DCA may work SO effectively that the body may not be able to clear tumor debris fast enough.

Thanks for your prayers Burt. I wish everyone the best in their struggle to beat this disease.

TAKE CARE,
Sandra

What made you choose the DCA avenue
May not have been written.
But for those left without choices,
And for those without medical insurance,
For those without money, but a loving spouse,
Child, Mother, Father, Brother, Sister.
Those facing death but hopefully LIFE with dignity,
For those hoping to leave something behind,
To their loved ones, children,
While attempting to financially,
Emotionally and physically cling to life,
And fight a gruesome, wicked disease,
All at the same time.
YOU, Sandra, are an inspiration.
You've helped offer hope for the hopeless.
A light in the dark, a pathway for the poor.
For all others here, who along with Sandra,
Have seen their life's worth of suffering,
Who've endured the suffering of those loved,
Who've struggled with this evil disease,
And for those of you who are sacrificing, risking,
Sharing, worrying, hoping, loving, and working
To nearly blindly, find a cure for the rest,
How can you be thanked?
For all you've done, for your trials,
Will your names be remembered?

Should all the angels gather one day,
And whisper of the ones with selfless courage,
And lacking in greed, while wishing good health
For perfect strangers, while dedicating one's very self,
I'm sure Sandra, and John,
And Omega and a few others here,
Will be those names who
Remain in conversations of angels.
You Really Do Care!
Time will tell whether DCA is a cure,
Or hope for a cure, with correct supplements.
Like those brave ones throughout history,
Who have lived life on the fringes of threatening frontiers,
The people of this site
Are very possibly staging the future
In a much larger way than any of them imagine.

WIth Very Best Wishes,
And Hope for Success in Monumental Proportions,
May The Great Creator
Strengthen Human Hope,
Bolster Human Courage,
And Deliver Liberating and Divine Cures.

Please believe many are hopeful and meditating daily with prayers
For your success, speedy recovery to health and happiness.
For your wisdom and knowledge to grow and tackle the problems at hand.
And for success in all future endeavors.
It's time for "GOOD" to win.

Hello Bob,

I have been looking at the chemistry of Tumour Lysis.
The literature particularly notes release of Uric acid, calcium and phosphate as Cancer cells breakdown. I am sure that there are other breakdown products which are not as well documented.

Firstly considering Uric Acid it has greatly reduced solubility if the body fluids particularly urine is acidic pH below 6.5 for example.The precipitation noccurs in the Kidneys causing restricted filtration and build up of excessive salts such as calcium in the body which would normally be excreted through the urine.

This Uric acid blockage is normally corrected by making the urine more alkaline. In a hospital situation this might be by infusion of sodium bicarbonate.

On the other hand if the patient urine is too alkaline say pH over 6.8 Calcium Phosphate can precitate in the urine and could lead to excessive Calcium losses unless dietary Calcium exceed the loss due to the Phosphate precipitation of the calcium. If the calcium is very much in excess Calcium Phosphate salts can precipitate at lower pH levels that 6.8 and create Hypo-Phosphate levels.

The Hypercalcium condition described at first pass may be due to an excessive body fluid acidity which has resulted in Uric acid precipitation in the kidneys. Check Saliva and Urine pH levels and if lower than 6.8 this can be corrected.

Adjusting the Urine pH levels to 7.0 may solve all these problems.

Do you have any other Blood test results to share which also indicate kidney / renal problems.

Keep us briefed and we will try and work through this together.

Best Regards

I'm humbled and grateful that my cancer experience could help other people. It's extremely exciting for me to think that people's lives are being extended (and their quality of life improved) through the compiled knowledge of members of this forum. It's rewarding to be a part of that and it gives purpose/meaning to my having cancer. Truly, it's my pleasure to help however I can.

And I think we all owe a great debt of gratitude to Jim and his family for making DCA available, especially at the extreme personal expense they have endured - having their motives and reputations questioned in the press. They labor countless hours on all our behalf (behind the scenes) making ALL this possible. Words are SOOO inadequate...but I sincerely believe I owe them my life and I don't know what more I can say than, 'THANK YOU!'

Take care,
Sandra

Hi Lieve,
Sorry, I don't know what "Full Blown Carp Complex" is. Cottage cheese would be good, and protein powder made from whey or brown rice or hemp seed. What language do you speak? Maybe someone else can help with translating. You can also email me - click the envelope - top right corner.
Take care,
Sandra

Yes, that's what I mean. Is it good for cancer-patients, who loose a lot of weight or is it dangerous for cancer grow?
