therapies should be integrated with conventional treatment and not only as a last resort. One such therapy is with dichloroacetate (DCA) which is sodium salt from dichloroacetic acid obtained as a by-product of the chlorination of municipal drinking water.

further heat after the air is warmed. The fan, by circulating the air, removes the heated air from close to the body and replaces it with cooler air. Likewise, the body is also cooled by evaporation of water from the skin. As the relative humidity of the air close to the body increases, less water can be evaporated, and cooling by evaporation is decreased. The fan, by circulating the air, removes the humid air from

of the seven samples. The room temperature and the water used were both at 72°F. The salt used to create the samples was supplied by Carolina Biological Supply Company. The seven ranging salinities were prepared in 100 mL samples. Seven masses of salt were measured on a scale (0g, 3.5g, 5g, 7.5g, 10g, 12.5g, and 15g) and were corresponded to a beaker filled with 100 mL of distilled water. For each sample, four trials were replicated by filling 30 mL plastic
