Can I get DCA?

Yes, you can get DCA from Medicor Cancer Centres – based in Toronto, ON Canada, but accepting patients from all over.

If I Can Get it, What’s the problem?

The problem is that you can get it only in a very limited way.  Doctors can prescribe DCA as an ‘off-label’ use because it is already approved for human use for another condition.  We need a full human trial to get the appropriate doses, uses, combinations and most importantly common acceptance.

What can I do?

101 thoughts on “DCA

  1. More skepticism is warranted than is presented on this page. In my reading of your details of DCA (which features an unqualified “can I get it?”) there is no caution about the dangers inherient in taking an untested drug (long term as well as short term) and no mention of the known side effects (reversible or not).

    Your video is purely emotional. Medical treatments should be promoted first by cold science, not heart.

    MCC mentions a few positive cases (very few it seems). Cancer does regress on its own, it takes larger trials to be meaningful. It could very well be that DCA does nothing, and those lucky enough to have regressions are counted as false positives.

    In presenting an emotional rather than a rational appeal, you could mislead cancer patients from conventional treatments (including the bugbear of chemotheraphy) when it could be their best option. Cancer treatments are not something to be credulous about.

    I am not medically qualified, but I believe my skepticism is well founded.

  2. Thanks for the comment. First I think you missed the intention of my video. No where do I say, drop your chemo and take DCA.

    The point is that DCA is not patentable. As a result we will never have a full human trial of DCA because drug companies are not interested in it.

    I, like you, welcome a full human trial to prove the efficacy of DCA.

    Where would you like me to go from here: provide more science (papers etc) or discuss why our medical research establishment is broken?

  3. I did not say you are explicitly recommending that, but you are presenting this (to an outside observer, one who may be currently suffering and scared about their future) in a completely positive light. I am suggesting you balance this with a caution to any cancer paitient that might click your links here. DCA is currently not the best option.

    I understand it’s not patentable, I understand the reasons for the lack of human trials, and your position that the medical research establishment is broken. This is not justification for the overall picture being presented here, which is: “DCA is a suppressed cancer cure – it works and the medical establishment doesn’t want you to have it!”. You don’t have to explicitly say it for it to be the overall message, regardless of your intention.

    I understand you are not trying to be a journalist, as you are actively trying to promote a specific medical treatment, but even advocacy should have the honesty of balance. We who are not medically qualified should be very careful about promoting medical treatments in an unqualified manner, especially ones which are not backed by evidence.

    You should add a section on risks inherient with untested drugs (long and short term, the reason why we have large human trials) and the known side effects. A link to a few PubMed articles wouldn’t hurt either. It wouldn’t hurt to mention that chemotheraphy can well be the best life-saving option for some patients given our medical establishment’s experience with it.

    New cures come and go. Hope is valuable, but when you may only have a few months to undergo a life-saving treatment time wasted on uncertain treatments can be fatal.

  4. I no longer believe in my heart of hearts that standard chemo is the way to go. Standard chemo works on the differential survivability of cells in the presence of poisons.

    DCA represents a groundshift in cancer treatment. It represents a metabolic attack against cancer — restoring normal metabolism and allowing unhealthy (cancerous) cells to self destruct.

    As it turns out, you can pretest if DCA is able to work for you in many cases. There is a Chemo Fit Assay which takes a piece of solid extractable tumour and tests many combinations of DCA and other agents to see which agent will work best. This way, patients need not waste time with ineffective treatments.

    It is standard chemotherapy which wastes time, using a cold, dumb algorithm which matches cancer type to the harshest chemo agents. The use of a Chemo Fit assay is new and not commonly done.

    My goal is to save precious time. If you have a solid tumour, please speak to your oncologist about performing a Chemo Fit Assay to test DCA and many other combinations of agents to see which will be work for you.

    It may help if you let me know what type of cancer we’re talking about here.

  5. There actually were some human trials done earlier this year with good outcomes. And DCA is an old treatment, it’s been used on people for years, just not for cancer. That’s why it’s not patentable. The patent has run out because it’s so old. It’s considered an “orphan drug”. The only side effect I’ve read about is reversible numbness in fingers and toes. There is a ton of information at http://www.thedcasite.com . My sister has late stage colon cancer and we’re considering using it, along with other treatments.

  6. It was a limited trial which was published this past May 12, 2010:
    http://www.expressnews.ualberta.ca/en/NewsArticles/2010/05/GenericdrugmaybepotentialtreatmentfordeadlybraincancerUofAmedicalstudy.aspx

    The trial established that DCA operated in humans in the same manner it did in mice. This is still a far cry from the full human trial we’d need to convince all doctors everywhere of DCA’s efficacy.

    Remarkeably this trial was privately funded… but the cost of a full human trial, across 100’s of 1000’s of patients can reach into the billions.

  7. i have throat cancer and i would love to be a volunteer and i know that chemo and radiation was killing me and i op out and have been taking b-17 instead’ please could you tell me what i have to do to come to canada be a volunteer on clinical trials ! let me tell you chemo and radiation sucks i was on my death bed in just 9 treatments and i op out, because i knew natural death would feal better,cuase chemo and radition don’t have a great track record either. the only thing that makes me upset is that human life don’t have value when it comes to the rich getting richer, and to think of all the children in america that needs a cure and all were worried about is profits- only in america the home of the greedy !

  8. early in 2009 i new about the dca trials that had been under way in canada but nothing was ever done to put this fantastic work out in the media in the US. seems to me the elite are interested more in lining their pockets than getting this out in the media

  9. The trials you speak of were limited Phase I trials. These are intended to prove that they have the same biochemical effects in humans as in animals.

    Phase III trials are the ones we need. These cost near billions of dollars. But the internet is a powerful tool. As we go more and more viral, more people will know about DCA. Moreover, we can circumvent the medical research establishment due to a loophole known as ‘off label prescribing’. Since DCA is already approved for human use, you can already get DCA. There are several physicians prescribing DCA off label. I’ve interviewed Drs. Akbar and Humaira Khan on “Between the Lines” and they are already treating patients.

  10. Would you be able to post links to the interviews you had with those doctors on this forum?

    I don’t really know enough yet about DCA to have a well educated opinion on it. However, in my pose, I’ve put up some sites which talk about it

  11. I’m already linked to by medicor and wikipedia. I’m not sure the other two are accepting any new comments.

  12. I agree that the video above is not informative, it is emotive, and for anyone researching treatment options for a loved one, this situation is already emotive and distressing, therefore I struggle to see what you were hoping to achieve with this video. It does not seem productive to me.

    I understand that it is frustrating that a drug that shows potential is not attracting funding, but as it costs millions for the pharmaceutical industry to take a drug through trials, if you can’t patent the drug to recoup the costs, where will the funding come from? Perhaps the system is not great, but we can understand precisely why it will not be funded that way, because it cannot be paid for.

    However, in the UK there is a research budget within the National Health Service for scenarios such as this, and charities such as Cancer Research UK who sometimes co-fund with Pharmaceutical industry, and sometimes co-fund University (state) led research, and these are the people we need to be targeting.

    Questioning the morals of the capitalist pharmaceutical funding scenario, whilst philosophically appropriate, seems, in practical terms, a waste of time. I’m tired of hearing people moaning about big pharma, when their energies could be put to better use lobbying government or raising awareness with charities and the press.

    Consequently the petition is a great idea. May I ask how many signatures do you have to date on the UK petition? Do you have a target number of signatures? When and to whom will you be presenting it? You address it to the President, but of course we have a Prime Minister not a President in the UK. I would like to reiterate that the petition is a great idea, but only if it is credible.

  13. I’m going to reply quickly because if I provide long replies, I tend to saturate people.
    1) Please provide a link to or details regarding this research budget in the UK for these scenarios.
    2) Please ask me your questions about DCA. I’m quite technical and can provide as many details as required.
    3) Thanks for pointing out the wrong copy (text). I copied it from the US petition. I am a Canadian, we also have a Prime Minister. 🙂

  14. We are doing quite an extensive D,C,A research here in Edmonton. you will find a lot informaionby Dr Evangelos michelakis @ capitalhealth.com

  15. Lots to share. 1st off I have been emailing the American cancer Society about the use of DCA. After a couple of emails they said a lab they funded found that DCA and sulindac killed cancer cells, but a more potent drug is needed. Yeah, Why? Here is the quote. “Understanding the mechanism by which cancer cells are killed by sulindac and DCA may lead to a more potent combination of drugs to kill cancer cells.” I have sent a copy of the email to Dr Kahn, and he did reply to me. (your welcome to it as well).

    Now, my problem. I’m a 4 yr advanced prostate cancer survivor. I had the RP in 2007, and radiation 9 months later. In July of 2009 my PSA went from 0.01 to 2.3. At that time I was told this cancer is going to “get me” and my doctor put me on luproin and casodex. I’m tested every 3 months for PSA and it has went back down to 0.01. My doctor tells me the cancer will mutate in time and what I’m on will no longer work. My thoughts are at what time should I look into DCA as a treatment?

  16. Thanks for your comment. DCA has been shown to work well synergistically with other compounds and treatments. Thus the news that sulindac and DCA seems to strengthen this general idea.

    Now, a point came out during my interview of Drs. Khan… the Chemo Fit Assay. I cannot exalt this test enough. In many ways, I find it more compelling than DCA itself. You see, patients needn’t wonder if DCA will work for them. Provided the tumor is accessible (solid and extractable) a small piece can be assayed against a host of agents and cocktails of agents. To wit, a patient with a poor prognosis lung cancer was assayed and it was determined that DCA and Tarceva (a milder chemo agent) showed a 95% effectiveness, whereas DCA and Tarceva were moderately effective on their own.

    To answer your question, (noting that I’m not a licensed physician) DCA can be used concurrently with most courses of treatment. I regrettably have little information about using DCA as a prophylactic or on an ongoing basis as a ‘maintenance’ treatment. I’m currently trying to find such information.

  17. HOLA SOY DE MEXICO, TENGO UNA TIA QUE TIENE CANCER, LAMENTABLEMENTE YA NO LE DAN ESPERANZAS, PERO QUISIERA SABER SI ESTE PRODUCTO PODRIA AYUDARLA, ELLA AUN NO QUIERE MORIR.

  18. Hola Soy de Chile, vi que podia tener una luz de esperanza que me ayudara con la enfermedad de mi padre, la cual estoy conciente que no se puede eliminar del todo pero si aliviar sus molestias y darle una mejor calidad de vida, a continuacion le datallo mas o menos su historia:
    En el año 2007 comenzo con molestias al orinar, lo cual lo llevo a ver un medico especialista el cual luego de una serie de examenes le diagnostico cancer de prostata ya muy avanzado, por lo cual era necesario operarlo a la brevedad; luego de esto se mantuvo en buenas condiciones fisicas y animicas durante alrededor de dos años, siempre manteniendo los controles y algunos medicamentos. En el año 2010, comenzo con algunas molestias a nivel de la espalda, especificamente en la zona lumbar, se realizo un cintigrama oseo, el cual arrojo como resultado una metastasis osea, debido al cancer que padece; en un principio se realizaron Radioterapias en las zonas mas afectadas, lo cual alivio levemente estas dolencias, pero la enfermedad ha ido avanzando a otras areas de su esqueleto, lo cual hizo necesario nuevamente unas sesiones de radioterapia esta vez a nivel de la zona de la cadera, aun sigue tomando medicamentos para sus dolencias pero ya no estan haciendo el efecto deseado y el dolor se ha ido intensificando. Aun no hemos llegado al uso de la morfina ni tampoco hemos tenido que recurrir a la quimioterapia, afortunadamente.
    El en este momento aun puede valerse por si solo, se levanta, pero gran parte del dia se siente decaido y tiene que recostarse par aliviar en parte sus dolores. Por esto mismo, sus ganas de comer han ido disminuyendo y su baja de peso ha sido considerable.
    Al leer en su pagina los testimonios de toda las personas que ha ayudado, confio en que Ud podria ser quien me ayude a darle un bienestar.
    Mi padre en la actualidad tiene 73 años.
    De que manera seria posible que consiguieramos este medicamento, o que costo tendria para nosotros

  19. quisiera saber como entrar a este tratamientoo como puedo hacer para conseguir el DCA ya que no hepodido conseguirlo tengo 31 años y estoy muy interesado en el Dicloroacetato como puedo hacer para entrar al tratamiento

  20. muchas gracias por la respuesta pero como puedo hacer el pedido para que me traten o donde me inscrivo o a que numero me comunico o dime que puedo hacer para contactarlos

  21. Have you tried giving hemp oil or marijuana to patients in order to treat their cancer or any sort of tumors? There have been many reports in the past regarding hemp oil being used to treat skin cancer and also there have been cases of patients with re-occuring cancer using hash oil and hemp oil to treat their illness.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cUC8tjoB_0 Is 1 video as an example.

  22. Salut Martin,hi i just call the medicor center in toronto 416-227-0037,they told me that they can’t do the test anymore they dont have the facility???and they gave me a phone number from a doctor in N.Y to be able to get more info???have been on medicor website and they still say that u can have a treatment whit the dca and ur regular chemio,i dont know what to think about it!!!!

    my dad just got the result of a bone cancer he’s almost start is first treatment soon,we live in montreal,i can tell you lots of doctor dont really know about the dca…………..or maybe they dont wanna use it???i dont know,of corse i would like to do the best for my dad.

    What do you suggest?
    thanks for ur help

  23. My mothers friend has been living with breast cancer for ten plus years. I told my mother about a few articles I have read and she is very interested in having her friend speak with someone about this. How should she go about attaining and monitoring DCA in the treatment of her cancer? She lives in nj?

  24. Salut Martin hi,my dad just got the multiple myeloma diagnostic,iv reach is oncologist few weeks ago and iv trying to explain him about the ‘dca’ therapy that available in toronto if its could help my dad whit is situation???the oncologist said to me ‘bullshit’ about the dca therapy,so you know it really hard to get ‘good cancer’ treatment whitout insulting anybody(the doctor)what u think Martin about the dca therapy ,do you think my dad could have better ‘result’ whit the dca combine whit is chemo???

    Thanks for ur help
    Have a nice day!!!!!

  25. The doctors at Medicor Cancer Centres will work with your oncologist. If your oncologist thinks DCA is bullshit, will s/he at least be willing to try it in conjunction with conventional treatments?

    You asked my opinion of DCA. Note I am not a medical doctor. My opinion, based on my research is that it has a low probability of interfering with Chemotherapy and a high probability of working well with it. I don’t have any further research to back my opinion aside from the fact that Medicor has used the agent with ‘good’ results. (They’ve published their results for all to see.)

    Bonne Chance et Bonne Sante…MCW

  26. I love this website, and I love what you are trying to do, from an education point of view. This is how you win hearts and minds and I applaud you for both; being aggressive, and fighting smart.

    Although your petitions trouble me. To my mind they will be totally ineffectual. I am American; I can’t speak for the rest of the world or other countries, but I know my own back yard. If I was to make a list of the most powerful lobby’s in this nation, I could write “Those who oppose you” on top of that list. There is a vested interest in this country to milk the cancer cash cow. And the Government here has a well known and documented track record of fixing tests and trials. Anyone naive enough to think DCA is going to get a fair shake here is in for a serious reality check.
    I am not against the idea of a petition, but they will fall on deaf ears if they are addressed to nation’s Presidents, or Prime Ministers.
    If you want honest human trials, and a fair shake, there should only be one petition to one address.
    Think it through Martin. You’re a smart boy, and it will be better if you realize it on your own.

    Thank you for giving a damn.

  27. If you’re hinting at a petition of the UN’s WHO (World Health Organization) I find them to me more impotent than the countries that needed to develop Viagra.

    Petitions are not my only form of ‘attack’ in this battle. They do allow people to register their opinions and they’re an effective barometer of interest in the topic.

    I’m currently trying to get an article published in a newspaper or magazine. I’m finding however that editors have viagra powered stubbornness in presenting any material that is anything beyond an iota above status quo.

    Thanks for your comment, the encouragement is needed.

  28. Atta boy, Martin. I knew you were sharp.

    *Sigh* I couldn’t agree with you more. But, what if someone were to raise the money for the clinical trials and remove the financial challenge the U.N. always labors under that blunts their progress? What if all the U.N had to do was accept the fund and use their authority to oversee the clinical trials to assure they received a scientific result? Eh? Could the U.S. still fix the trial, with all those other nations watching, and acting as checks and balances? They might tell you and me to kiss off, but could they do that with the U.N. and the whole world?
    What if the worlds people petitioned the Secretary General under chapter 1, part 3, of the U.N Charter? Give it a look: http://www.un.org/en/documents/charter/chapter1.shtml

    Hmmmmmm.

    On a lighter note, I’ve joined you. Don’t think people don’t listen to you. Because people like you give a damn, you make people like me give a damn too. After my last comment here, I found myself at register.com where I purchased the domains http://www.therealcureforcancer.org, and I picked up the .com too just to keep the neighborhood nice and free of pests. Lol.

    Can you see my email that I left on this comment? We should probably talk. I don’t know how to contact you direct, besides this page.

  29. II wish i knew of this even 6 months ago. It was discovered to be effective against cancer in 2007. That was the year my son was born. He may still be alive today if only knew of this earlier. Shame on big pharm the fda and health canada

  30. We have dca so now its up to the Canadian government to see we the people need it .we are donating billions every year to cancer research for what nothing ,I’m blown away the the pull makers just don’t want to loose the cash …….god forgive there ignorance

  31. Why don’t you along with the doctor from U of A post your findings and results on a fund raising website called Kickstart.com. People worldwide could donate to this cause. From what I understand 100 million dollar is required for a proper human trial.

  32. Thanks for your comment. I’ll take a look at Kickstart.com. Note, you can donate at http://www.martincwiner.com/dca although admittedly, I’m not a registered charity. Your $100 million figure is low. Most of what I’ve read suggests that getting a drug past a phase III trial (the final phase) is close to a $1 billion.

  33. I think we need also an urgent research about the four PDK isoenzymes: which Laboratory
    or University is doing that?
    “We hypothesized that DCA may have differential effects on hypoxic versus normoxic colorectal cancer cells, and found that while some cell lines are refractory to DCA’s effects, most colorectal cancer cells examined actually displayed enhanced survival under hypoxic conditions in the presence of DCA. Consistent with this, DCA treated xenografts showed no anti-tumor effect but instead there was enhanced growth of treated tumors. Our findings suggest that DCA may have differential effects on cancer cell survival depending on the regional microenvironment within treated tumors, which may complicate its usefulness as an adjuvant anti-cancer therapy.” (Sodium dichloroacetate (DCA) reduces apoptosis in colorectal tumor hypoxia, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030438351000251X ).

    “Thus, although DCA inhibits growth of a variety of cancer cells, the effect and the underlying mechanisms seem to be cell-type dependent. A likely explanation for these differential effects could be the difference in expression of the PDK isoenzymes in the cancer cells examined. Dichloroacetate is a non-specific inhibitor of PDK (Whitehouse and Randle, 1973), and has a different Ki for each of the four PDK isoenzymes (Bowker-Kinley et al, 1998). In addition, the four PDK isoenzymes are known to be differentially expressed in various tissues. Thus, there is a need to develop inhibitors to the individual PDK isoenzymes that should allow cancer cell-type-specific metabolic manipulation.” (Dichloroacetate induces apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest in colorectal cancer cells. , http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/v102/n12/full/6605701a.html )

  34. Hi, My mother was detected with Stage 2 breast cancer in Aug-2011. She got operated and has given adjuvant chemotherapy of 7 cycles. Later she was told to come for regular checkups for every 3 months. In the second followup checkup she was detected with metasatis breast cancer which got spread to lungs,bones and kidney.At this stage she was kept under Palliative chemotherapy and the first cycle is undergoing now. Can we try DCA at this stage and where can we get this medicine.Please guide me in getting this treatment to my mother.

  35. I’m not a medical doctor so I can’t reply. However, even if I was, due to the lack of interest in DCA by the pharmaceutical companies there will never be the full trials which determine medication interactions.

  36. There will never be a cure for cancer sponsered by any pharmaceutical company as they must answer to their shareholders who are only interested in profit and selling more drugs. I for one will continue to resist their treatments until they find gentler and kinder ways to treat it. I have seen the results of chemo and radiation and pills on other people. They look sicker than they did when they had the disease. No thank you.

  37. I am not able to sign the petitions on DCA. It tells that I already used this email adress to sign … that is not true …

    Thanks !

  38. hope the people can have more option when they have cancer
    and they can try all other non conventional treatments

  39. Please please, make this availble if in fact it CURES! My sister is fighting for her life and I have lost my dad!

  40. I have lost my mother my dad and many uncles , my brother lost his throat and now has cancer in his lung , because of this he moved in with my sister who just found out she has lung cancere please give these Dr that discovered it the patent to use and and start useing it to bad about the pharmaceutical companies , they are making enough off the death of people and care little about side effects on any meds i almost died because of ant inflammatory help my sis ter and brother this is his second go around

  41. Martin keep up the good work. The word on DCA is getting around and oncologist and others are showing a great deal of interest.

  42. Thanks, have you noticed the DCA-Avemar protocol? Avemar (Ave Ultra) is another approved anti Cancer nutritional food.

  43. Yes on Avemar. Two other products are worth looking at.
    1. hydrazine sulphate see) DR.. Joseph Gold speaks the truth about hydrazine sulphate
    read clinical trials conducted at UCLA & Russia.

    2. GC-MAF has been used since 1990. Dr. Yamotto

    Nether can be patented so big pharmaceuticals have no interest.

  44. I’ve taken a cursory look at those two compounds. Thanks for pointing them out to me. The key difference here between these compounds and DCA is that we can take advantage of a prescribing loophole with DCA in that it’s already approved for human use. I don’t believe this to be the case with Hydrazine Sulphate or GC-MAF.

    Have you taken a look at 3-Bromopyruvate? How about high dose intravenous vitamin C? I’d like to come up with a blog post of substances which show anti cancer promise but aren’t patentable. In this comment block we already have five:
    DCA
    Hydrazine Sulphate
    GC-MAF
    3-Bromopyruvate

    actually I just thought of two more:
    LDN – Low Dose Naltrexone
    Honokiol

  45. GC_MAF is currently and has been used since 1990. It has saved many cancer patients lifes.

    Hydrizine Sulfate is being used as well DCA. Look to alternate medical states for do/md. There is a new breed of doctor comming on board and hopfuly that will chnage everything.

    Thanks for the tips. I am aware of LDN and Vitiman c. I would like to gather a team of oncologist and biochemist with the full intent of exposing big Pharma , the FDA , the NCI ,the media ETC.

  46. Have GC_MAF and Hydrizine Sulfate been approved for human use? Further have they been approved for use in Cancer? (I’m speaking of FDA approval here.)

    I came up with two other non-patentable cancer treatments:
    Essiac
    Anti-Neoplastons

    As for exposing the FDA et al, I have a different approach. Open a clinic with sympathetic oncologists. Use treatments which are FDA approved for human use and prescribe them off label. If there are insufficient agents in this category we’d need to open the clinic in a country where the FDA can’t hound us and shut us down. Then it’s all about the results. If we have an 80% cure rate, somebody has to notice. If we’re in Mexico, they’re less likely to believe our 80% success rate, but if we can achieve 80% in Canada or the US, we will defeat the FDA. It’s all about evidence: Letters and polemics will get us nowhere. The media has black listed DCA, I and several of my colleagues can’t get any information published about it.

    Have you seen my proposed legislation to change the medication approval model such that some of these agents could be of interest to Big Pharma?

  47. I am currently administering DCA to my mum who has an aggresive tumour on her brain and back. Over the last 12 months she has undergone 2 bouts of radiotherapy and a gamma knife treatment on her brain. The cancer has now returned and she is currently bed-bound because of the pain in her back.

    When we approached our doctor, oncologist and chemist about possible alternative treatments, they simply didn’t want to know. We have managed to find a source for DCA and have been administering it for the last week, in the hope that it will shrink her tumours and relieve her pain. However, we are not medical experts and can only go off what we read on the Internet for information of dosages and side effects.

    If anybody can shed any light on their own experiences of using DCA, or can offer us any advice, then this would be very much appreaciated.

  48. I really appreciate the work done by Dr Martin,My brother have Lung cancer edinocarcinoma.It is really hard to digest.@Lee Burnett you said you have started treating your mum with DCA, so how is she and could you plz guide me about DCA as well, i wish she is alright

  49. I’m not a doctor, and Martin is my first name. I don’t know where you got the idea that I’m treating my Mother with DCA, she’s not a cancer patient. I would direct you to http://www.medicorcancer.com/ if you’d like to try DCA. Best of health…MCW

  50. Thanks for this web site.im having stage 4 breast cancer (tumor is as size as my fist now) metastasised in liver. I was diagnosed last January after I gave birth a month ago. I refused to go for conventional treatment. I had a lot of researched regarding with different alternative treatment but my eye is only for apricot-amygdalin tablets and pureDCA. I already ordered both last week. Most probably i will be able to receive my pureDCA and Vit.B1 hopefully this week. Anyone can guide me on how can I start to take this???

  51. My daughter had taken DCA and was in remission, however, the people from Pure DCA on your site, did not make it clear that the DCA was still to be taken there after as a therapeutic dose. Her cancer spread to her lymph nodes and she passed away Feb. 10, 2013. I wish we could have at least known about this and it just may have helped, I don’t know. Please make it perfectly clear to people who want to take this, to keep taking it even if their doctor tells them they are in remission and the tumour had shrunk. The tumour shrunk, but it was still there. I purchased more DCA after her second round of cancer, however, it did her no good. My daughter was a free spirit and a beautiful girl who died at the age of 35, far too young! It has left us with a huge emptiness in our hearts, that can never be filled.

  52. I have now been on DCA for almost 5 years. My cancer is still completely gone, I have had no build up in my body with using DCA every day for this entire time. It has been an incredible experience being able to live my life, look forward to a future, and never having to look back and remember the oncologists telling me I would be dead in 2-3 months. And I am still here, healthy, having a great life and looking forward to every day.

  53. GOD BLESS YOU Timothy WITH MANY MORE YEARS OF HAPPYNESS. The most difficult part of searching for a cure is being able to accept the fact that it does work. Not being given a choice or being told about something that could save your life id just wrong. The medical professionals who are aware of this but still recommend chemo therapy when 80% of them will not accept it as treatment for themselves should be jailed. Open genocide is occurring a cross America for one reason only and that is Money!!! People must band together and demand change!

  54. Witam! Piszę do Was z Polski. Mam raka (SCC) płaskonabłonkowego G 3 w węzłach chłonnych.
    Chciałam się dowiedzieć czy na ten rodzaj raka DCA działa i jakie są rokowania.

  55. Martin are you aware of any trials or investigations to cure prostrate cancer caused by agent Orange?

  56. It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d without a doubt donate to this outstanding blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed
    to my Google account. I look forward to new updates
    and will share this site with my Facebook group. Chat soon!

  57. Things you should know about cancer and the medical industries.

    I am not a doctor or an oncologist but I have gone through what you are about to. These are things my wife and I went though. The not knowing where to turn or what questions to ask. Not knowing about medications or what our options were. Suffering the shock of being told you have pancreatic cancer, stage 4 , non-operable with metastasis to the liver. Searching for a cure under total distress. I am giving you information that I have found hoping to save you hours of research which may save your life.
    This information will apply to all cancer. I am doing this in memory of my wife. E-mail me if you would like the information and I will e-mail back to you. Yes there are cures for cancer!

  58. Hi there my dad got diagnosed with lung cancer at the end of June, we are doing all we can as a family to not give in the fight. i have came across DCA therapy and would like some more information on how to get it, also the right advice on the other medication he is taking at the moment & the side affects etc, the doctor said of they try chemotherapy it will kill him as the cancer has spread from one lung to another and also his bones. The next step is radio therapy in the next week or so. My email address is tom_jacklin1@hotamil.co.uk if anybody could please send me some advice on who we can speak to to seek advice on my dad trying DCA and where we can get it. Thanks Tom

  59. Jim I am sorry for your loss. My husband is loosing his battle w stomach cancer stage 4 at age 44. I just found your site and ordered DCA today. I don’t know if it will arrive on time. By the grace of God it will. God bless each and every one of us. Take care.

  60. Just ordered DCA today, and wondering if any other component is necessary for my own chemo treatment? Stage 3 small cell lung cancer, and no chemo taken, just diagnosed 4 weeks ago. Im 58 years young with 6 grandchildren, and cant put my arm out for chemo, it doesnt feel right!! Any advise is greatly appreciated

  61. Hello Martin,
    why you are so convinced that you had not a spontaneous healing and it was the DCA that helped you? Are you still take it?

    Regards from Germany 😉

  62. I was never on it. I am researching it. It is still in use at Medicor Cancer here in Toronto. Best of health…MCW

  63. Hi, my father has the lung cancer: big cell carcinoma. Diagnosed 3 weeks ago. He is going to be operated the 9 th november. Please give us any information how to use the DCA after the surgery.
    Best regards.

  64. The best advice I can give is to contact Medicor Cancer here in Toronto. They will work with your oncologist.

  65. Hi Martin, I watched Dr A. Khan’s lecture on DCA therapy and saw that he listed two strongly synergistic substances- Honokiol and Fermented wheat germ extract ( Avemar) which I saw in your theoretical protocol. Avemar as an adjuvant looks incredibly promising! Have you heard about Citral (found in lemongrass) and it’s apoptotic effects on cancer cell lines? I just came across a promising Israeli study which found that significant selective Apoptosis can be induced with as little as one gram of lemongrass added to tea. Best of health to you, Will

  66. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15931590 I was doing a little research. Did you see my recent piece on another similar cancer treatment? http://www.martincwiner.com/promising-cancer-treatment-in-brazil-has-a-similar-story-to-dca-in-canada/

    Ok, up until 1930, the cancer narrative was “this is a horrible disease”. After the work of Otto Warburg, the narrative changed to “this is an oxygenation problem”. In 2007 the narrative changed again (Michelakis et al, Alberta) “cancer is thought to be caused by mitochondrial death but it appears they are only dormant, and DCA wakes them up”.

    As of late, with all of these agents which seem to spur cytochrome c cascading into apoptosis (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v403/n6765/fig_tab/403029a0_F1.html) it would seem that we’re in ‘cell wars’ and the mitochondria are not dead nor really dormant but ‘zombified’ by a calculated manouver of the cell reverting back to it’s more primitive form. It’s beginning to look that anything that can kickstart the mitochondria into escaping their ‘zombification’ causes apoptosis.
    ( I can’t emphasize this enough, because so few realize this: it’s the mitochondria, not the nucleus that causes apoptosis (programmed cell death) in the case of cancerous cells.)

    That was probably a lot more than what you were looking for. 🙂 If you have any questions, post back, this stuff is all easy, just not explained well.

  67. Totally agree and have in fact been researching mitochondrial reawakening. Dr McKinney has written quite a lot on this phenomenon. Another interesting interaction is Salicinium (a natural plant extract) and how it enters cancer cells rapidly during glycolysis almost like a Trojan horse: (has a complex glucose structure which is ignored by regular cells but is rapidly consumed by cancers) and has the effect of starving them and inhibiting nagalase. This in turn allows macrophage NKs to begin killing the cancer. I believe that theoretically, something like gcMAF which activates macrophages, may be greatly assisted as an immunotherapy by a natural substance like salicinium. You may be interested to see what this clinic is up to- http://www.renointegrativemedicalcenter.com/Salicinium-Therapy.html All the best, Will

  68. Why should a corporation cure a disease when they can make money from it? That is not true capitalism. If you do not be love capitalism, then move to Russia.

  69. Martin, my dog recently started dca for lymphoma. I am looking to start a Facebook group for people currently or who have used dca to share experiences and information. I am having a heck of a time finding people currently using it.

  70. There are so very few humans who have tried it for cancer, I’d be very interested to hear back if you discover a veterinary success story.

  71. I have been on DCA for over 8 years.
    There is a Facebook group but unfortunately not very active.

  72. On Facebook
    DCA “The Cure for Cancer”

    If you can’t get into the group
    Email me and I will accept your
    Request !!!

  73. Hi Timothy McGough! Could you please let me know how much you take of DCA and if you take with vitamin B1 or anything else?

  74. The patent from dca is up, which means when it was first put out it was tested for medical interactions a long time ago, now I am sure there has been many new drugs put out however at least one drug from each drug tupe would have been texted againgst this. Just wanted to clear that one up for mcwiner.
