		<description>There apparently is money in it for, CardioMetabolics Inc, the company that holds the patents using dichloroacetate for treating people with cancer. You better check with them first.

http://www.cnw.ca/fr/releases/archive/January2007/23/c8535.html

Then read what the American Cancer Society has to say about this:
http://www.cancer.org/aspx/blog/Comments.aspx?id=130

And last, my son has an extremely rare cancer. He was diagnosed with a stage IV abdominal cancer. It is a devastating disease for this family. From all that I know of how complicated cancer is . . I have heard all this type of hype before. All I can say is . . until they can prove their claim with real Clinical Trials . . its just hype.</description>

		<description>Flash back to 1998:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/printout/0,8816,988347,00.html

On the cover of Time magazine, Dr. Judah Folkman of Children&#039;s Hospital in Boston announced the results of test in lab animals and cell cultures where he cured cancer with no major side effects. The mechanism was early anti-angiogenesis drugs: Angiostatin and Endostatin. People were declaring cancer would cured in 20 years.

What came of that was a new approach to combat cancer: attacking a tumor&#039;s blood supply. Research on anti-angiogenesis continues to this day. Some drugs using this principle have made it to market: Avastin, Erbitux, Tarceva, Iressa. They have extended the survival rates and times of patients with only minor side effects. For the most part, they are NOT cures.

This was prior to Internet forums such as this.

My point is cancer has been cured in the laboratory many times. To jump to a conclusion because of a preliminary report has proven wrong in the past and more than likely do so aagin.

My opinion is treatments like anti-angiogenesis drugs and possibly DCA work on the support mechanisms of cancer and not the cancer itself (genetic mutations). Therefore, such therapies are unlikely to produce a cure.

As for DCA specifically, the drug is not ready for human use. Read Dr. Evangelos own words on his website:

http://www.depmed.ualberta.ca/dca/

The University of Alberta is continuing with its research and is planning on conducting clinical trials. If the results of those trials are promising, I am all for promoting DCA as a treatment. Right now, it&#039;s much too early.

There has been alot of questions recently posted on this forum by users such as yourself hyping DCA as a cancer cure. All these account profiles have little history (points). I must assume that these posters are the same person or an associated group of people who have some (financial) motivation to promote DCA.</description>
