Message Latest Cancer Cure Hopeful - DCA was posted by pfezziwig, on 3/21/2007 10:48:55 AM.

DCA or dichloroacetate, was recently shown to dramatically reduce cancer tumors in mice and in cultured human cells in a petrie dish. This substance attacks a fundamental difference cancer cells exhibit with their metabolism and has already been used to treat people with certain metabolic diseases (and was shown to be safe already).

Normally it would take several years to develop the drug further but in this case it may take longer as drug companies do not want to fund the research as they cannot make money from it and it will eat into their profits from very expensive traditional chemotherapy.

With tens of thousands of individuals terminally ill with cancer this is now becoming a highly sought after substance as it can be administered in a glass a water. People are not going to wait for the scientific and legal process to run it’s normal course but will try to buy and administer it themselves. Unfortunetely this will soon be done to many people without any professional medical oversight.

I have just discovered a business that sells DCA online, 'Sophron Marketing Inc', the website is buydca.com . I made the purchase last week and just received it and plan to approach my terminally ill mother with the idea of trying it as she will soon be taken off chemotherapy and be told to go home and die. (Unfortunetely her chemo doctor cannot prescribe it due to hospital regulations)

Can anyone else tell me if this is a reputable company and product? Or even if they have tried to use it already. Has anyone else purchased DCA from other sources?

Does anyone know of any medical professionals providing advice on administering DCA?

Can anyone give me a good reason to not give this to my terminally ill mother whose breast cancer spread to the liver?
