While we must take the precautions to avoid DCA side effects, like hyperglycemia and glycosuria, they are generally not associated with problems.

The concerns about DCA side effects arise with chronic use of DCA. Since this concern can affect a person's life and career, caution is recommended as it has been shown that studies into the use of DCA in humans will be conducted.

DCA has been studied since at least 1960, but was never approved for sale in the European Union because of insufficient evidence to show it was safe or effective. This means that until these questions are answered, DCA cannot be sold in Europe for human consumption.

The following toxins can cause hyperglycemia, which can lead to certain DCA side effects:

Not all DCA side effects include the above mentioned ones, and it is unwise to assume that all the listed side effects are caused by a particular substance unless you have been personally affected by it. Unfortunately this means you should take caution when using substances that might cause a chemical imbalance.

It seems to me that this is not at all funny. Perhaps this is even absurd! It is categorically impossible to laugh at this. Cancer people get free medicines. When I found out that I had cancer, I was desperate. You know, I think I’m starting to go crazy. For a long time I was looking for a drug that would help me. This drug was suggested to me by my colleague [fenbenlab.com]. It helps fight cancer cells and other infections in the body. I wish you all good health!

I mean it's not even funny because it's not even true. methadone patient's fully pay for the medication so I'm not sure why you think that they don't. there are more studies that say chemotherapy kills more of their cancer patients then not taking chemotherapy and eating healthy and exercising properly. This an issue with big pharma and we need to stop attacking each other needing or seeking medical help.

this is a terrible meme with false conflation. indeed cancer patients should have free chemo, indeed free healthcare that includes chemo and insulin and everything else (but insurance DOES cover insulin, you know, so for the insured patient it IS free), but what the HELL has that got to do with addiction or addicts? i see this meme all the time and it's ridiculous. it's not as if chemo isn't free because addicts get methadone, which, by the way, isn't actually free. the meds that are not free are expensive thanks to greedy big pharma, NOT because once in a while an addict's life is saved for free. get real.

I'm not a physician, but considering that 90% of TV commercials are reserved for drugs (as if it's the ills' job to tell their doctors what to prescribe), it isn't hard to figure out why. No one gives a fuck about addicts; there's just no money to be made off of them. But drug corporations' stocks rise with increasing number of diabetic and cancer patients. That's the sad world we're living in.

Because you live in the USA?

You are so right. It is terrible here in terms of healthcare. It is one thing that keeps us from being free to do what we'd like to do. Many who would like to start businesses are not able to because of healthcare costs. People have to stay at jobs they aren't even healthy enough to work at because of healthcare costs. Your first consideration in taking a job a healthcare. It really holds us back.
