I have noticed that some of you promote lemon juice to alkalize the system. I am wondering if it is OK to mix the lemon juice directly with the DCA and water and can you store it this way??

I notice on one post that Oracle seems to think the lemon juice made the DCA more effective with Lien's cancer. I would like to try this for my dad ( who has NSCLC stage 4, secondary tunour in spleen).

However, I live at a distance from my folks and don't see dad every day. I manage to get up there once or twice a week - lately all I can manage is once a week. When I am there I mix up enough DCA and water to last a week and dad takes it as prescribed. he's been taking DCA for 1 1/2 weeks so far (weekends off).I KNOW that mom is not going to squeeze lemons every day to give to dad ( just too much on her plate as it is - with dad's supplement/meds and dad's colostomy bag) So, the only way we could do this is if I mix the lemon juice with the dad's weekly supply of DCA and water store it in the fridge.

So, Oracle or anyone else,,,,I'd like to hear whether you think this is a good idea or not???? Dad is taking 10 mg/kg DCA a day, so what would the recommended amount of lemon juice be? Also, my chosen sweetner would be honey.

(just curious, but does anyone know of any research that shows that concuming alkalizing foods actually ends making the blood more alkaline?? and not just the urine/saliva??)

thanks to all

Mixing them together and storing invites interaction with unpredictable effects. K. I. S. S.

Fresh squeezed lemon juice loses some of it value if not fresh, is my guess, like most fresh food.

Whether lemon juice, fresh or not, really helps DCA, is there any evidence? If it helps, why and how?

No way I can give scientific proof but I like the idea of astringents like lemon acting on tissues when saturated over a period of days. Throw DCA in with an alkaliner and we hit some magic at least for now.

The safest bet for us /Lien and I is to knock it back and drink lemon water throughout the day. I am positive that works or worked for us and still does. Its a bit of tough one to decide on at times.

God bless

If you want to try the lemon juice, but don't want the hassle of squeezing lemons, I'd suggest you buy ORGANIC lemon juice. It is exactly the same as fresh squeezed, no additives. Just keep it in the fridge and add a little to the DCA water right before drinking it.

Take care,
