Answer 1

First off, cancer is hundreds of different diseases.

Secondly, DCA has significant side effects.

Although dichloroacetate "has actually been used safely in humans for decades"[7] its therapeutic use can cause pain, numbness and gait disturbances in some patients.[8] A clinical trial where DCA was given to patients of MELAS (a form of genetically inherited lactic acidosis) at 25 mg/kg/day indicated peripheral nerve toxicity.

That said, this is no miracle cancer cure but I wouldn't object if one week's worth of the money being wasted in Iraq was used to test this and other off patent medicines with the potential to treat cancer.

Answer 2

It's an opinion. Lots of people who don't have cancer and do not understand that cancer is over 200 different, sperate diseases post opinions like this. If the guy would dig a little deeper he might just find out that this is still being investigated. People who face cancer on a daily basis tract or pass this type of information around all the time on message boards and ListServs . . it is people who do not understand the disease who always think there is a 'cure' somewhere that is being hidden.

The biggest problem with most of these types of opinion is that people who are newly diagnosed can often become confused by the mixed messages. So, to those of you who are seeking real information about your disease, Yahoo Answers is probably not a good place for you. If you have real questions about your cancer diagnosis please seek out the ListServ groups at ACOR. You will meet people who have the same disease and can guide you to the best information possible:

Enviro-Culture®
A New Technology

Lactobacillus plantarum is a bacterium found in the digestive tract of humans and animals and is officially defined by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a "naturally occurring microorganism."Using proprietary technology, Bio-Energy Systems has taken and modified this strain to create a new and novel strain called Lactobacillus plantarum-OM. The L. plantarum strain retained all of its beneficial qualities while gaining proteolytic capabilities, a characteristic that sets it apart from any other Lactobacillus strain. In fact, our company was awarded a U.S. patent for its extraordinary abilities! L. plantarum-OM is the key ingredient in Enviro-Culture® that gives our product the ability to out perform any other biological product on the market today. All ingredients used in the creation of Enviro-Culture® are food grade materials that are 100% beneficial and safe for humans, animals, and the environment.

i sudjest that anyone that is looking to feel better physicaly to read the patent info in this companies web site , it will blow your mind, i've drank this stuff and if you don't feel well or have a stumach ache or something it gets rid of it. i've also not had a cold in over two years since i took a bunch of it. not a lot of people even know about it either. you are all right they will not aproove anything for a cancer cure, or they will lose out on the money they can swindle from the sick and poor. DOWNRIGHT GREEDY AND EVILIN MY OPINION

Answer 4

This article doesn't cite anything, it claims results. Why don't they give the exact source so it's possible to look at the study itself?

A short check on NCBI gives some other info as well:
TCA produces liver tumors in mice with the phenotypic characteristics common to peroxisome proliferators (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=15147791&query_hl=1&itool=pubmed_docsum
).
Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) is a major by-product of water disinfection by chlorination. Several studies have demonstrated that DCA exhibits hepatocarcinogenic effects in rodents when administered in drinking water.(Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) is a major by-product of water disinfection by chlorination.

Okay, these are results for mice only, but all of a sudden I don't believe in miracles any more.

Answer 5

It may well turn out to be a major treatment against cancer, but the testing process has to happen first. My mother participated in a study of Keflex before they had the dosage standardized. It knocked out her kidneys and she was on dialysis for many years.

Answer 6

I pray to God its true but the sad thing is If it does work
they wont let it in the us.
but vitamin b17 is a proven fight for cancer. How does it work?
It goes straight to the cancer cells and kills them off while leaving the healthy tissue's alone (no known side affect) why don't people know about it? More people are making money off Cancer than you can imagine
google videos search "a world without cancer"

keep in mind i do not sell B17 I just spread the word

Answer 7

Yes, I read that article on another channel on Netscape today. I believe that the pharmaceutical companies will do whatever it takes to make enough money to support several homes, cars, computers for themselves and their families while my family suffers with advanced cancer.

Answer 8
