Dear Kalni:
I reviewed some recent medical literature on DCA (dichloroacetate), including the following:
http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/v99/n7/full/6604554a.html

Interesting how most of the research is by a gentleman with a classy last name which I'm sure you like (Michelakis). I think it looks promising, especially since most present treatment modalities for esophageal CA are terrible side effects. Essentially, the theory is that the mitochondria (or energy producing organelles) in cancer cells are 'turned off' and, in this state, render them 'immune' to death. DCA, reportedly, 'turns back on' the mitochondria making the cancer cell more susceptible to self-destruction (apoptosis).

A 32% reduction in tumor volume is incredible. I pray that this continues to help keep him in remission. FIB
