Hi Takeadeepbreath
Was very interested to hear of your progress and extra energy. Could definitely do with some of that. Had a look at the article link.
Is it expensive??

I want to spread the word on how to combat the dreaded cancer fatigue. I felt like **bleep** and couldn't even walk up a hill without resting every 12 paces like an 80 year old which was depressing. I knew the GP would fob me off with the usual rest/good diet advice (I was already doing all this with no obvious difference) so I reseached cancer fatigue online- good old Google.
After reading several research papers, the cause seems to lie in the energy producing part of our cells, the mitochondria, which were not generating enough ATP, a chemical which supplies energy to the muscles. Radiotheraphy and chemo both damage the mitochondria and taking tamoxifen reduces the ability of the liver to generate ATP by half. (Ageing also means you can't produce enough ATP and feel lacking in energy - that's why I felt 80!).
Dr Thomas Ames of the University of Berkely in California found a remedy for this when he was looking at ageing in rats. He gave them dietary supplements acetyl-L carnitive with alpha-lipoic acid which revitalised them and gave them energy. Here is the link to the studyhttp://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2002/02/19_diet.html
Feeling like a knackered old rat, I tried it ( you can get it on Amazon) and the results are incredible. After 3 weeks I could had so much energy I could run up that hill. It's such a simple solution so I feel obliged to spread the word (I have no interest in this, I don't sell this supplement!)
Try it and tell me how you feel after a few weeks. I've been on it for 6 weeks now and I have more energy than before I got cancer!!!
