Hi, I would like to know would we get dichloracetate on our own. I know that there are not made serious clinical trials for this medication yet but as it was used for metabolic disorders for a long time I suppose it won't cause some great damage to people's health. I would like to know something more about this.

Hi, answer is definitely you wouldn't take DCA on your own, Reason for this is in the fact that dichloracetate is not tested properly for anti cancer use and we don't know what side effects may cause higher doses of this medication. Also there is question how someone would react on long time use of this medication. Until such tests wouldn't been done it is not safe to use it on your own.

DCA can be purchased from buydca.com .

To those terminally ill cancer patients out there tired of hearing it's not safe to take, try taking it at 12mg/kg body weight. This has been shown to be a resonably safe level for many years in children treated for a metabolic disorder unrelated to cancer. Exceeding this has often shown adverse side effects.

I have given it to my terminally ill mother for 2 weeks prior to a catscan, the catscan did not show anything positive, the metastatic liver cancer grew. We are still trying it though as she has been taken off chemo at this point and 2 weeks has not been reported in any case I've seen to show significant improvement in a catscan.
