Re: Dichloroacetate (DCA) causes regression in several cancers
Bob,
There are tens of thousands of researchers all around the world in government/hospital reasearch labs that are dreaming of getting a Nobel Prize if they can just find the key to stopping cancer. They don't have the $ 100 billion that big pharma companies do but they certainly spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year. If anything simple worked I think they would have found it.
But on the other hand, I had a dramatic drop in my PSA before I was diagnosed with PC when I used Aldara skin cream. Aldera is an immune response modifyer drug for actinic keratosis. Not only did it do a great job of getting rid of my actinic keratosis but it seemed to have caused my body to atack the PC (which I didn't know I had at the time). My PSA went from 7 to 2; it may have been a coincidence but I think it should be looked into. Unfortunately it seemed to only work on the PC when it was eliminating the actinic keratosis so once it was gone it didn't help the PC situation.
