cheap safe drug kills most cancers

Hi,

I chanced upon this whilst sufting the net. It's in the new scientist
magazine which is reputable:

http://www.newscientist.com/article/...t-cancers.html

Definetely very interesting. My wife has a brain tumour (currently in
remission) so I'm always looking out for new advances in medicine. The
great thing about this drug is that it's already prescribed for other
conditions so it's tollerance etc has already been trialled.

Gav.

Thanks. Although there is still a very long way to go, and financing
the research of an unpatentable drug could cause a problem, it
certainly looks interesting, IMHO.

Here's Wikipedia's article about Dichloroacetic acid:

For rats..
For children and babies (lower doses) who have a rare (life threatening) congenital
muscle rigidity condition.
Children Living with Inherited Metabolic Diseases
And I'm sure I saw a clinical trial to try to reverse the effects of it (nerve damage
and liver toxicity? but I've lost it now).
But read into this: the parents would do anything to save the life of a child.

Major toxicities are damage to the nervous system and liver. Induces liver tumors in
mice.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acidosis
Lactic acidosis is an underlying process of rigor mortis

It has been and is in clinical trials for Lactic acidosis. Orphan status by the FDA
So small doses....
5 studies were found.
1. No longer recruiting Phase III Randomized Study of Sodium Dichloroacetate in
Children With Congenital Lactic Acidosis
Condition: Lactic Acidosis
2. Completed Dichloroacetate Kinetics, Metabolism and Toxicology
Condition: Lactic Acidosis
3. Recruiting Phase II Pilot Randomized Study of Sodium Dichloroacetate in Patients
With Congenital Lactic Acidemia
Condition: Lactic Acidosis
4. Recruiting Study of the Metabolism of Pyruvate and Related Problems in Patients
With Lactic Acidemia
Conditions: Mitochondrial Myopathy; MELAS Syndrome; Lactic Acidosis
5. No longer recruiting Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Dichloroacetate in MELAS
Syndrome
Condition: MELAS Syndrome

I'll leave this. Steph probably has a one-liner..

This website has some interesting information:

http://www.thedcasite.com/index.html

http://www.thedcasite.com/dca_how_it_works.html

http://www.thedcasite.com/tetrathion...treatment.html

Hello, yoga diet is excellent for your cancer problem..treatment is
same for any disease
1.stop milk,buttermilk,ghee, curd, icecreams, sweets of sugar and
jaggery for 2 months. take daily 400 gms of black grapes or cucumber
or 7 amlas uncooked.Treatment is same for any disease.
After reading the following ,
please reply to
kumrao99@yahoo.co.in,kumrao99@gmail.com
2.. Diseases may vary from person to person.According to Upanishads
the cause of every disease is accumulation of toxins in the body.Sarve
rogan mala vasa(sanskrit).Westerners
call it Holistic healing.your disease can be cured with this method.
3.Krishna said in Bhagavadgita that Ayush(longevity),arogya(health)can
be gained by by taking the diet of satviks(saints or holy
people )namely uncooked fresh vegetables and fruits with juices.Slok
runs like this--Ayu sattwa bala arogya sukha preeti---etc.
4.Yoga diet containing uncooked vegetables contain divine power and
clean each of the crores of cells in your body.
5.> what are your age, residency town,phone
number occupation, food habits and other ailments?
6.> Yoga diet contains some dos and donts.you should not take
milk,buttermilk, curd, ghee,icecreams,sweets of sugar and
jaggery,mutton, fish, eggs for 3 months.
you should not take sweet fruits like mangoes,
sapotas,papaya.

7. > In the olden days fastig is undertaken to cure any disease. As
people nowadays finding it difficult to
observe fasting,i am recommending you semi-fasting
which means not eating above things.
you can take meals and tiffins without
above substances.In Gita, Krishna says that god is present in everyone
in the shape of vysvanara(jatharagni or hunger).sloka runs like this--
Aham vysvanaro bhutva.Fasting or semi-fasting increases hunger and
thereby cleans the body.For the first days of semi-fasting treatment,
the hunger will increase abnormally.you can meals 3 or4 times without
the above mentioned items.
8.> If the disease is more and suffering of patient is
acute ,we suggest stopping of all dhals(blackgram--idli,dosa,bonda
etc,bengalgram-mixture,chutnies,boondi,pakodi,redgram-sambar ,etc.
9.> Milk products, meat products,sweets and dhals
contain cholesterol,more proteins and are not digestible easily.People
think that they will give
strength to the body.But they are negative foods for
a diseased person.People without disease can take
them. If people with disease take them, they will give strength to the
disease.
10.> > you have to take daily 400 gms of grapes or
cucumber or promagenate or 3apples..Uncooked vegetables and juicy
fruits contain divine energy.If amlas are available, the patient can
take daily 8 or 9 amlas uncooked.seed has to be removed.They remove
disease from the cells of the body
11. >Cold water is very important in treating diseases.Upanishads --
Apo vy bheshajam(water alone is treatment).So diseased people have to
take cold water head bath daily for 10 min.The patient can also sit
for 10min in a tub with cold water.The patient can massage his body
for 10min with cotton cloth rinsed in cold waterIn olden days people
take bath in tank or lake or river to cure diseases.In the olden
days ,sages wear cold water rinsed dhoti for one or two hours.While
doing puja or meditation ,they wear cotton cloth rinsed in cold water.
Lord siva is very fond of abhishek with cold water.Abhishek means
pouring cold water on Lingam,under which Yantra is placed.Water
contains magnetism.Cold water contains more magnetism.It will cleam
six chakras in the spine,thereby entire body is cleaned.The months
from Dec to Feb are holy as winter gives cold water.The months
karthik,magha,Dhanur,pushya are very important for spiritual
seekers.Rubbing body with wet cloth(massage) daily for 10 min is
highly helpful to cure diseases.
12.> Kerala ayurvedic physicians generally cure diseases with
virechan(bowel movement),vaman(vomiting),vasti(enema with water).For
10 days they will give ganji (cooked rice brokens)without salt close
