Folks, this thing went way farther than I would of ever guessed. I did some more research on the DCA and really did not like what I found. Although it is used now for other medical purposes I don't see it going anywhere. No matter what Paul Harvey said. I can sit back and look at this and see the needs, fears, and wants not only in my situation, but others too. This disease really sucks and reaching like this does not help in keeping the mind set where it needs to be.

Bill,
no one here is questioning your motives for starting the thread and the responses are precisely the reason I moved it to the adjunctive treatment topic. And after all there are instances where rather simple medications have found new and efficacious uses like aspirin for heart patients.

The dark side is there are many snake oil salesmen out there wanting to bilk cancer patients. I have quackwatch bookmarked and always check there. 90% of the time the stuff is already there (DCA is not, by the way). You may wish to refer to this link about alternative cancer cures in general and you will see why this can be a very emotional issue with many people http://www.quackwatch.org/00AboutQuackwatch/altseek.html

We created this topic so that persons seeking information would hopefully treat these alternative treatments adjunctively(if at all) and not substitute them for known, efficacious medical treatment. Many have lost their lives seeking an easier way out (rather than radiation for instance)only to find that the time that they wasted before getting into legitimate treatment brought their disease to an untreatable and terminal state.
