I wonder what the dosing schedule is when treating the lactic acid problem (mitochondrial related) in children?

Orally, the usual daily dose is 25mg/kg but can be up to 50mg/kg.
Higher doses, 100mg/kg, are administered intravenously for one day or a few days when a kid's life is in danger.
There's a lot of info out there on DCA. It's being used to save kid's lives in Africa where they have a real problem with lactic acid.
The cancer angle has my interest perked and I'm researching it...in case my cancer returns.

Thanks Mugs, I have started researching it also. We'll compare notes occasionally. Lots of reading on the Net about DCA ... I look forward to actual clinical trials for treating cancer, possibly in conjunction with other chemo.
