More on this

The University of Alberta's medical school website http://www.depmed.ualberta.ca/dca/has a section of their website that provides all of the articles. After reading them, I can see why this is a big deal. Apparently because DCA has been safely used in humans, including children before, this could get into use fairly quickly. I figure that if it works this could help some cancer patients who currently lack good treatments, such as patients in the world's poorest countries, and those who suffer more from very harsh treatments, such as children and the very old.

The scientists need to get approval for a trial and the money together as well. They are trying to raise at least some of the money necessary through their website. It's nice to see a scientists at least try to get a trial moving on a non-patented medicine. The strategy I am using is to give them a little now so they can do their phase I/II trial and then, if it works out, I will give them more.
