When I ask do you think it is true. I was hoping you could answer by reading the note on top of the article and going to the links provided on the page for your own research and then tell me if you think the article has any validity.

read it....
"Since the original publication of this article we have been inundated with responses from the public at all walks of life. It is important to note that research is ongoing with DCA, and not everyone is convinced it will turn out to be a miracle drug. There have been many therapies that were promising in vitro and in animal models that did not work for one reason or another in humans. To provide false hope is not our intention. There is a lot of information on DCA available on the web, and this column is but one opinion on the topic. We hope you will do your own research into the situation. So, we have added links to resources at the end of this column. If you are arriving here form a linking website like Fark, then those links will not appear because they tend to grab only the text."
yea...probably not proven yet...more like a 2% chance of actually being true

Dichloroacetate stimulates an enzyme called PDC that is essential for the production of energy in cells.
During research it may have affected cancer cells. It is not patentable as a cancer drug. Unless FDA allow its use for cancer treatment,it may not be used.
