I didn't verify it, hey, it's on the internet, it must be true.

Very interesting. I'll try running this down a bit later.

Hmmm



One reason i don't hold much to the whole blog thing. A little less than reliable. even If what is being said is true...what side is correct??

I'll go back to my hole in the sand. ;)

I have a mutual acquaintance who is a professor up at WSU. She is part of a cancer research team and has a PH.D. in Genetic biology. This is part of what she wrote:
Invading tumor cells are resistant to all chemical and radiation treatments. Invasion (spread of cancer to other parts of the body aka metastasis) is the lethal part of cancer not growth.

They did not test killing of invading cancer cells nor could I find any articles suggesting that DCA reduces invasion or kills invading cells.



Perhaps use of DCA with an anti-invasion therapy such as we are developing would be promising. But as it stands, DCA is not a “cure” for cancer.
and

Normal cells only treated for 48 hours in culture.

Rats and mice do not respond the same as humans.

DCA use during lactic acidosis results in 17% mortality so not as benign as the writer suggests
some other stuff she wrote that I don't feel free to post on the net sounds encouraging.
