DCA(Dichloroacetate)

[Overstressed]

Hi,

the first time I got to know DCA was when I was looking for a possible treatment for my father, who suffered from cancer. Today, I went back looking for DCA, because DCA originally has been used to treat people with metabolic disorders.

This is the link, and I think many of you already know:

http://www.dca.med.ualberta.ca/Home/Updates/2007-03-15_Update.cfm

It also says it has been used for decades to treat children with inborn errors of metabolism, due to mitochondrial disease. It has also been used to successfully treat mantle-cell lymphoma, it seems.

Is it too simple to say this may be a treatment for us too ?

OS.

Hi Overstressed - Rich posted about DCA here:

I got interested in the stuff too a few weeks ago with a view to trying it for my daughter's CFS. That's how I found Rich's post.

I wish the very best to your father.

I wanted to resurrect this thread bc I just bought some of this online and wanted to try it. It's powder.I can't see Rich's initial post. Does anyone know much about DCA? I am taking it because tests have shown that I have D Lactic acidosis.

NOTE: info about the neuropathy side effect of DCA, and how to try to prevent it, is detailed in this post.
