High Levels of Lactic Acid Posted: 07-17-07 00:14am
I have suffered from this for 35 years.
She could be suffering from "PCD"
(Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex
Deficiency"). The lack of "PCD" enzyme
prevents the body from breaking down
simple carbohydrates for use of normal
energy. This triggers the body to convert
simple sugars into Lactic Acid, a less
energy efficient and less powerful source
of energy. Long term exposure to lactic
acid has many effects and symptoms (a
follow on conversation). Only a few
hundred cases of "PCD" have been reported
world wide. There is no cure only
treatment today. 90% of the medical
community knows very little about this
disease.
I found that a high protein diet works
great. However, a daily planned diet is
needed as protein diets (complex-carbs)
take longer times to digest for usable
energy. You may want to try her on the
"Ketogentic" diet. This should help
greatly in reducing the Lactic Acid in her
body.
Also, higher intakes of green foods
increase alkalinity which can lower Acid
levels in the body, creating a better PH
balance in the body. You can have her take
"green dietary supplements" to help
increase the alkalinity in her body. "WHO"
has done a lot of research in this area.
If you want more information about this
write back.
The bottom line is that she must reduce
acids levels in here body.
Finally, a MD from Harvard recommended to
me in taking "Alpha Lipoic Acid". Every
living cell in the human body uses this to
regulate the management, storage and use
(burning) of energy. It was a miracle for
me. It did not completely solve my
problem, but improved my energy condition
by 50%. For your general reference please
