More On Dichloroacetate (DCA) In Cancer Treatment

"Simply stated, the science is intriguing and I believe is something to be pursued both in the lab and in the clinic. BUT, and this is a big but, it is not a cure for glioblastoma or any other cancer based on these results.

"My concern is that this paper is going to be transformed—like the last one—into something that it is not, namely that this is definitive evidence that DCA is the magic bullet for cancer treatment, particularly in glioblastoma (which is a cancer that has a very poor prognosis).

"This research still needs lots of work before we know whether it works or doesn’t work, and whether it is really safe or not when given to patients with cancer under a variety of circumstances."

FReegards!

“whether it is really safe or not when given to patients with cancer under a variety of circumstances.””

So,,,, say you’re 75, and the doc says you have 6 months to live, which really means 2 or 3 months, why not give it to these people with no other hope?
