2DG Not as Sweet

I did 2 weeks of 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG) infusions while at the Siebenhuner clinic in Frankfurt this month. I suspect that this may be one of the factors responsible for my recently slowed tumour growth. The problem was what to do while outside of the clinic. I ordered a kilogram from wxsigma, a chinese company, but because I want to do extensive lab tests on it, it will take several weeks before I am able to use it. The company may be reputable, but many in china are not and I can’t take the risk of consuming something that I do not know the composition of.

Dr. Siebenhuner came to the rescue and shipped 20 days worth from his pharmacist, to my hotel in Duderstadt. I received it today.

I was hoping that 2DG being very close to glucose, would be sweet and that I could just use it as a sugar substitute in my tea. I was dissapointed. Although it is moderately sweet, it is also quite bitter. (I am sure my little mutants will not like the taste either).

I started today on a 4g dose divided throughout the day. I will add phenylbutyrate next week.
