In layman's term's DCA under acidic conditions reduces the Electrical Insulating properties of Myelin creating nerve malfunctions. The end result can be numbness, muscular weakness , disorientation and mental disturbances. Some of these symptons have been experienced by DCA users.

Why is this so and what can be done about it ????

Firstly manage the pH of body fluids as measured on Saliva and Urine.
Keep pH levels 6.8+.

Why ?

Because as the pH drops and the body fluids become increasingly acid the DCA becomes less soluble in water and more soluble in fats such as the Myelin Phospholipids (Fats)

Cancer patients often have Saliva / Urine pH levels of 5.0 to 5.5.
At these acidity levels signicant build up of DCA in the Myelin will occur with increasing nerve malfunction.

I thank Sandra for being so persistant and analytical in drawing our attention to DCA Side Effects and seeking possible scientific explanations.

I welcome further feedback and discussion from all.

God Bless all those who participate in this forum and their quest for Understanding and Knowledge.

Here's a thread with relevant information in this regard

https://thedcasite.com/dcaforum/DCForumID1/111.html

Excerpt:

"I will shortly be posting some actual patient pH data for general information as ADMIN are making changes to accomodate posting of this type of real data."

Here's hoping that ADMIN will indeed NOT be making changes to accomodate said posting.

If this so-called "researcher" has real data that is indicative of anything other than mumbo jumbo, let him write up a paper, inclusive of said data, and submit it for publication in a legitimate journal.

Let everyone be reminded that Dr. Evangelos Michelakis, et al, chose that exact course, the journal-publication course, to reveal to the world the results of their studies vis-a-vis DCA.

Michelakis, et al, are, of course, legitimate scientists who produced very significant findings; findings that could stand up to rigorous peer reviews and all the other checks and balances that occur before a scientific paper is published.. duh.

Anyone opening a topic here that is not a testimonial is guilty of an egregious and contemptible invasion.

Although it is generally accepted that pH is the inverse logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions, the concepts of this almost mathematical definition are virtually impossible to understand. What it really means is that pH tells us the quantity of hydrogen ions in a solution, and more specifically, for what concerns us here, in the human body. Hydrogen ions have a positive electric charge and there is a constant state of equilibrium between these and other hydroxide ions which have a negative charge. The result of this interplay is that the quantities of both in a solution will always remain constant (ionic result), because if one rises then the other must inevitably fall. When the number of hydrogen ions rises, the positive electrical charge will rise and the negative charge, in the form of OH or hydroxide ions, will fall. In such a case we say that we are in a state of acidosis, and in the opposite case, when the negative charges predominate, we would be in alkalosis. As we can easily deduce, the oscillation of these electrical charges creates an electromagnetic field, and this is the first moment in scientific medicine that such fields are mentioned. It is therefore (c’est pas pour rien que) that in physics, a magnetic field is defined as that place in space where electromagnetic forces occur and since Maxwell, the concepts of electrical charge and electromagnetic charge have been intertwined. So when we speak of pH, we are also speaking of electromagnetic fields.

Every living biological system, be it an ant, a plant, or a bacterium, even a single cell, is therefore an electromagnetic field fluctuating between positive and negative charges, and owes its life to this motion.

This motion can only be explained by the living organisms’ drive to escape a state of charge, be it negative or positive, to find repose, or in other words, electro-neutrality, but absence of charge would mean the end of biochemical motion, which would be the same as death. If we call that fruitless drive ‘life’ and the absence of that compulsion, ‘death’, then we could conclude that all organisms seek death. Following along these lines, we could define ‘life’ as the eternal quest for electro-neutrality or ‘death’. As it happens, the precise point of equilibrium is never found, so the organism ends up moving continuously from one state of charge to its opposite. In other words, it is like a scale of unbalanced equilibrium in which the organism is forced to make constant back and forth oscillations. As this fluctuation in pH continues over 24 hours, each oscillation must be not only of equal amplitude in each direction, but also of equal speed. As such, the system always leans either towards alkalosis or acidosis, in each case giving rise to different illnesses.

Only by regulating this system, when it is in an altered state, can health be restored.

Imbalances in this system are found in almost all human pathologies, even more so in adult and senescent life. Refensal works to regulate all possible imbalances in the body, thus contributing to the recovery of health.
