Oh, my bad.Hi yerrag, disregard the genetics bit, I didn't write that and the fact that caprylic acid seems to help in the way that it might has nothing to do with genetics.
I was too focused on the genetics bit. I had Sunday lunch with my siblings and my attitude was combative given they are all medical establishment lemmings. sister suggested to me a doctor who successfully treated a friend for TB. She said I have a common issue with that patient. The patient had pleural effusion, and that was all we had in common. I pressed further, and I was told the doctor said pleural effusion have only tao causes - TB and cancer. And I told my sister that kind of narrow thinking is proof why I don't see such doctors. If you have a bit of human intelligence, you wouldn't fall for such made up crapology.
Yes, the caprylic acid would "promote mitochondrial consumption of oxygen in vivo," but my issue is poor tissue oxygenation because of low CO2 (and this oxygenation) as a result of bronchitis.
I would have to use carbogen breathing or plastic bag breathing (Thread 'The Key to Stopping Hiccups - CO2 Retention!' The Key to Stopping Hiccups - CO2 Retention!) first to resolve the CO2 issue before I begin using caprylic acid.
The caprylic acid would be a complementary next step, as it would certainly increase metabolism and provide the heretofore energy deficit that leads to the bronchitis being persistent, and which would cause a CO2 deficit, and which cause metabolic inefficiency and energy deficits that would in turn cause ALS to persist, given that the throat muscles are energy-starved.
