Louis Louis, It is way too early to have an opinion about DCA. I will give anything I try at least 3 month (except for the paleo diet, I lost too much weight and deemed it unsafe). I will look again at the list of supplements you have your wife on. I don't see any harm in adding them. Ben If it is done in secret, it is done in vain.

I ran out of my supply from http://pharma-dca.com/dca.html, so I started taking from my supply from http://puredca.com/store/. However, after this dose I felt very ill for about 3 hours. I did take it on an empty stomach which you are not supposed to do. But to be safe I will wait for my next batch from pharma-dca.com. So far I have not noticed any benefit form it but I will give it a little longer. Thanks, Ben If it is done in secret, it is done in vain.

What are those blue remembered hills, what sphires what farms are those. That is the land of lost content,I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went and cannot come again

I took it for only one month (June) but was taking so many other things I stopped. Although my FRS score has dropped only 1 point in 4 months I am definitely still progressing at roughly the same rate and since I haven't had any adverse effects from what I am trying now I figure its time to start adding more DIY trials to my resume.

Be vigilant of adverse peripheral signs like tingling and loss of sensation. Don't just ask what scientists can do to speed up the solution for ALS or when they will do it, instead ask yourself what you can do right now to solve ALS asap.

Walking for instance is getting difficult so I should notice quickly if I start losing motor neurons or NMJ's. If it is done in secret, it is done in vain.
