    i love this post and the study, thankyou smokeyjoe
    no other comments yet , alas, anything from the alternative universe and its side tracked.

    not even an interesting. i know we have a few AA closet users here, come out of the closet and own up to being an AA user. its not the end of the world. one day we will be the silent majority i hope. this might even by a less toxic, offer a better quality of life , even if it don't defeat crc in the end. but for some they good results.

    I like my orange juice pumped directly into my veins. 60grams a session and the longer the better. getting the molar concentration high under the curve is where the proposed method of operation works best.

    this is just fantastic news, i don't need any encouragement about AA,i have done my research and been advised by 3 independent cancer specialists in sydney to use it. despite my perculiar clinical positioning rising CEA and NED, but the 4 AA sessions a week i have been pumping over the last 3 months gives me hope. this study that published on the internet may gives me more hope. now i hope the trial is done well, often the drug companies setup supplements/alternatives to fail depending on bias on the researchers and the institution. time will tell, but tragically time is what we don't really have to wait for the results.

    I will enquire about joining this study just in case i need some chemo in the future, this study is the technical basis of which i can now enter maintream hospital chemo wards. to date that has been a no go area.

    hugs,
    pete

    Maybe I should have put in
    Maybe I should have put in the title what it was. I'm sure there are some trying this on their own out of pocket, I'd think this would be totally funded. I just found it and thought hey they're actually trying this in a clinical setting.
