I read your original post about this and as a result did some "Googling" on my own. The author of this article is correct about at least one thing, the internet is definately abuzz about it but sadly that doesn't give it any credence.
As someone who has watched loved ones die of cancer and hasn't everyone? I hope that this will come to a positive outcome.
My sister is a Phd. in molecular science and this was her response.
The original research study that this article cites (Cancer Cell) is very highly regarded. I will have to read the primary paper to see how rigorous of a study was conducted. If the laboratory results are real and reproducible, it will still take many years to prove clinical safety and efficacy in the setting of oncology. Lots of drugs kill cells in culture but then fail in the clinical setting. I see this happen every day. It is an interesting premise for a new therapeutic target in cancer treatment, though. I am certainly intrigued.
plus we have to figure out who will make the millions and billions of dollars on this, how to patent an already available drug, and how to make people depending on it need bigger government in order to receive it. For the Children (tm).

What is the dosing schedule?
I don't know. That's the price for pure DCA. It's used for cauterizing, removing corns, cysts and calluses. It has to be diluted for internal use or it can kill you. I'd research it very carefully before I tried it.
I wonder what the dosing schedule is when treating the lactic acid problem (mitochondrial related) in children?
That said, I'm not a doctor..:)

Thanks Mugs, I have started researching it also. We'll compare notes occasionally. Lots of reading on the Net about DCA ... I look forward to actual clinical trials for treating cancer, possibly in conjunction with other chemo.
Your welcome and comparing notes when we run across breakthroughs is a great idea.
H.pylori was poohpoohed as just a quack's mutterings for many years and now is being used to date history; small insights sometimes light up the world.
"Trichloroethylene is a colorless liquid which is used as a solvent for cleaning metal parts. Drinking or breathing high levels of trichloroethylene may cause nervous system effects, liver and lung damage, abnormal heartbeat, coma, and possibly death."
I guess im a dead man walking!
In the 50s I breathed and probably ate a lot of it, still love the smell of it.
For your research, here is an interesting site related to it :

Welcome to The DCA Site
This site is to help inform people of the exciting research done on DCA by scientists at the University of Alberta. In January 2007 a team of scientists at the University of Alberta published a paper in the scientific journal Cancer Cell describing the discovery that a simple, cheap molecule, DCA, worked to reactivate the apoptosis mechanism of cancer cells, causing rapid shrinkage of tumors in rats. Mitochondrial reactivation represents an entirely new approach to treating cancer.
The tumors shrank 75% in three weeks.
DCA is not patentable. There is no incentive for private money to go into developing DCA as a cancer treatment. This is where we need to step in. We intend to supply, in one place, all the important information on DCA and ultimately make DCA available.
This site gives the results of the Michelakis research, a look at the possible side effects of DCA and the prospects of it being used by YOU. Plus some commentary and conclusions we have reached about DCA. Questions are answered and a chat room is provided. Please help contribute to this site.
To avoid any government issues, we must state we are not doctors and cannot give medical advice.
DCA has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and therefore cannot be marketed for the diagnosis, treatment, cure or prevention of human disease.
We want to encourge everyone to use the Chat Room or ask the questions.you want answered. The site is brand new. It was first uploaded late on February 5th. The chat room was added February 8.
several cures that are just around the corner
And that is as close as it will get remember one thing
NO PROFIT IN THE CURE.
DCA goes after cancer in an entirely new way. The drug is easy to make, cheap and has shown to have no toxicity (despite trying to tie it to the toxicity of some other completely different chemical in the article above.)
Obviously clinical trials in humans are required. Medicine is based on double-blind studies that are replicated time and again by other researchers.
But this little chemical might turn out to be THE Cure.
Which is why the deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society seems to be so against it. He'd be out of a job. Instead he should be leading a huge clinical trial to see if the plague of our modern times can be cured finally.
