The side effects in the study could be due to DCA killing adult stem cells, and it probably also kills cancer stem cells. They are the worst ones, the ones that come back, the prolific growers. It would be good to identify methods of protecting adult stem cells while still killing cancerous stem cells. This should be where DCA research continues in the lab. Human trials should be happening NOW!! Seems we are too busy trying to secure oil for Exxon ,,, instead of saving the 500,000 Americans who die every year of cancer.
Hats off to you folks who are trying this. I watched my mother and my brother die of this disease. I watched their doctors spit on alternative therapies,, then in both cases, after the patient was ready to die, declare,, there is nothing more we can do. In fact, all along there were things that could have been done. Like giving a less toxic and targeted treatment along with the chemo. Both doctors forbade the patients from taking curcumin, even though research now shows it works. Sometimes, "First Do No Harm", means letting the patient take alternative treatments that aren't sold by a drug saleslady with a nice body. |

I am a naturopathic oncologist working to support a few patients who have self-prescribed DCA. My investigations show two supplements which repair the demyelination and could act to protect the nerves enough to extend courses of therapy, and shorten the recovery time between courses, making this an acceptable and viable therapy. They are alpha lipoic acid (best as R+ sustained release form) 150 mg 3 times daily, and benfotiamine form of thiamin or vitamin B1, sold in Canada by AOR through doctors and in health food stores. I am also recommending CoQ10 100 mg 3 times daily, a proven cancer remedy, which inhibits the same enzyme as DCA. This should amplify the effect, or allow efficacy at lower doses in thse who are more sensitive to it. Many cancer drugs are liver toxic and carcinogenic, but we balance risk versus benefit. I am working on ideas for the long-term toxicity, should we find we can use this drug long term, with techniques as given above. This is not a soliciatation for business, I am happy to share what I know. Some scientific references are under the articles button on my website www.drneilmckinney.ca Neil McKinney, ND |
