I was advised by someone that has lactic acid problems from cancer (but not CFS), to try making my own sodium or potassium acetate by mixing vinegar and baking soda (or potassium bicarbonate), which forms sodium acetate or potassium acetate, and then carbonic acid (which I think just is released as gas).
The idea is that the acid can feed the kreb's cycle, the acetylcoa needing acetate to be produced? I know that b5 is also needed for this step.
If we have a problem with pyruvate dehydrogenase,which drives pyruvate oxidation to feed the krebs cycle, i wonder if this might help. It's kind of a long shot, but my question now is
1) Most importantly, is it safe, and at what doses???
Vinegar is widely considered safe at reasonable doses, as a food product, but i wonder if acetate salts are different
2) is it plausible
3) do any of you have experience with it
