"... This second reagent is preferably an inhibitor of mitochondria energy metabolism and/or one that induces apoptosis. Such reagents include metabolism inhibitory reagents. Many such reagents are known in the art. One particularly preferred reagent is dichloroacetate. This second reagent may be administered sequentially, simultaneously or separately, so as to amplify patient response to said treatment method."

and an example in an earlier patent:

..."This was tested in this Example with dichloroacetate (henceforth abbreviated DCA)(8)...."
..."We find that the cells of the experimental subset are killed approximately twice as rapidly as in the control subset."...
The experimental subset had DCA while the standard had the lipoic acid by itself.
... So both of these patents I am sure also have studies associated with them that were published. Yet Dr. M doesn't have any of this noted in his work. Maybe he is just weak on research. Or maybe he is hedging his bet for money and fame. I find his inability to recognize earlier research appalling.
