I heard of it through Paul Harvey on the radio. The initals stand for dichloroacetate. I found the link on www.newescientist.com and it seems so simple on how it works. It attacks the glycolysis of the cancer cell forcing it back to mitochondria in which they wither and die. From what I get out of this is it is all in the way cancer gets it sugar. It is used to treat rare metobolic disorders and is relatively safe. How would one get something like this into a clinical study? Sounds pretty good to me. Bill B
