colon cancer and DCA
my boyfriend has colon cancer stage 4 that spread to his liver lungs and brain.he had brain surgery and removed one tumer but couldnt get to the other .which was 2.5x1cm. also a10mm nodule. this was feb 9th 2013.there were 100 lesions in each lung and hypodense masses in all segments of liver.
he started taking dca about the end of feb. and all so started chemo.he does the chemo every other week but has taken the dca strait on through.he had a mri of his brain may 13th and IT WAS CLEAR NO TUMERS LOOKED COMPLETELY NORMAL VERY VERY HAPPY
May 20th he had ct of chest ,abdomen,pelvis with IV contrast.
in his lung multiple lesion were gone and shrank.in his liver some were gone and some smaller one was 4.2x3.1 and now is 3.3x2.7. and all his blood work was with in normal ranges .I WOULD RECOMEND DCA IF I WERE A DOCTOR BUT IM NOT .HE IS SURE GOING TO KEEP TAKING IT .I HOPE THIS MAY HELP SOMEONE ELSE.

What is DCA?
Dichloroacetic acidDichloroacetic acid, often abbreviated DCA, is the chemical compound with formula CHCl2COOH. It is an acid, an analogue of acetic acid, in which two of the three hydrogen atoms of the methyl group have been replaced by chlorine atoms.IUPAC ID: Dichloroacetic acid
So basically a small synthetic molecule, hence why attrative for brain tumours especially as can cross blood-brain barrier. Long term use can cause neuropathy.
It works by forcing the cancer cells to burn glucose instead of fermenting it. This activates the mitochondria which can trigger cell death if it detects that its host cell is abnormal. That's the theory anyway.

Sodium Dichloroacetate
Before anyone starts on DCA, check with your doctor to make sure it doesn't interfere with your current chemo regime. There's a certain protocol to follow, including the number of grams per lb/kg of body mass. thedcasite.com has some information and a gram/body mass calculator. I order my DCA from pharma-dca.com, and take mine with caffeine and benfotiamine. I don't recommend starting this without consulting first with a naturopath or other expert to help decide if DCA is for you.

i have had no sides yet, ny protocol is 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off.
started at hallwang clinic october 2012.
have a break every few months.
watch the neuropathy.
another cheap effective therapy, conventional medicine has its limitation.

Just to clarify, dicholoro
Just to clarify, dicholoro acetic acid is the active molecule. The salts of which are dichloroacetates. You want to be taking the salt form when getting an IV. Just like with vit C. Ascorbic acid IV could kill you, sodium ascorbate is Ph neutral and will not.
I did a blog post on DCA to explain how it works: http://www.mcrc4.com/?p=4656
