Yeah, I used to friends with the first person in this country to beat childhood leukemia. Doing very well 40 years later. At the time they wouldn't even schedule appoints. Sorta, "If you are here next week, we will process you"!

Rather amazing thing that I(personally) have started pushing some celebs/execs/politicians that I know to wring peoples arms to get funding, because there is no ROI in it for the drug companies.

It's already a prescription drug, and some doctors may prescribe it off target.
From the U-of-A website:
"We believe that because DCA has been used on human beings in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials of metabolic diseases, the cancer clinical trials timeline for our research will be much shorter than usual.

Best of luck dude!
My mother has Lupus/Leukemia, and I ain't leaving no stone un-turned.

I bought some DCA a week ago. We decided before we took things in our own hands, we would ask the Doctor. She never heard of it. And now, we don't want to do anything that might exclude the clinical trial. But, we have a 200 day supply in case the government makes it illegal. And we paid a whopping $85 for that 200 day supply. It is funny that since nobody can own the patent, very few tests are being run on it.

Well as Obamma put it in the debate the other night. Get the drug lobby out of politics.

Hell, take a day off the war, and pay for the trials that might save millions of lives.
