Could 2020 be the year of the pill that cures cancer? This article is an update / revision which was originally published on this webpage 5 years ago about a promising new cure for cancer called Dichloroacetate (DCA). The cure is pill or powder based, making it a non-invasive cure for cancer. First of all I would like to thank the self-less researchers and physicians who have dedicated their time to researching DCA over the years, even though they haven't made a dime from it. Cannot be Patented However DCA may change all of that. This is because DCA is showing broad spectrum treatment activity, meaning it has been shown to help with not just brain or colon cancers, but also other cancers as well such a melanoma. This would make sense, due to the fact that DCA is an oral substance that is absorbed by the body and rapidly metabolized. If you have any doubts that Big Pharma cares about curing your illness, I strongly advise you to watch the video below, from an insider of the industry who reveals the truth.

What do the scientific studies have to say? Dichloroacetate and metformin synergistically suppress the growth of ovarian cancer cells. Bo Li et al. Jul 2016. Long-term stabilization of stage 4 colon cancer using sodium dichloroacetate therapy. Akbar Khan et al. Oct 2016. Phase 1 trial of dichloroacetate (DCA) in adults with recurrent malignant brain tumors. E. M. Dunbar et al. June 2014. Dichloroacetate Synergy A few years ago, I wrote an article about how the herb Berberine, is similar to Metformin. The article is titled: World's first anti-ageing drug could see humans live to 120.

This is because DCA is a common substance that can be obtained easily and made for pennies. This is why you won't see any large pharmaceutical companies talking about DCA because there is no profit to be made from it and because Dichloroacetate is commonly available, it cannot be issued a patent. You also won't find any substance on it that says "cancer cure supplement". This is because cancer is such a broad term, being an infection of the body, it does not go away like the flu. You can get cancer of the lungs, brain and ovaries / testicles; however cancer of the heart is extremely rare. This is why cancer treatment has evolved into specialized medicine.
Dichloroacetate is an analogue of acetic acid and occurs in the seaweed, Asparagopsis taxiformis, which is a powerful antioxidant (Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activity of Asparagopsis taxiformis. Neethu PV et al. Jul 2017). DCA is used in tattoo removal and as topical medication for the treatment of warts and is a by-product of the chlorine disinfection of water.
To put it in simple terms, Dichloroacetate, promotes alkalinity of the body's cells. This is because cancer cannot exist in an acid medium. This is why bicarbonate, which is an extremely alkaline substance, synergizes with Dichloroacetate.

While I DO NOT recommend mixing DCA yourself in the raw powder form, unless you are a professional who knows how to properly prepare and take it, there are capsules available on Amazon.com with many positive reviews from cancer survivors.
While studies have shown some side effects, most studies show DCA is well tolerated by the body. It may be as simple as adjusting the diet and watching for reactions with certain specific medications that may allow DCA to work better. I'll leave it up to the reader to decide for him/herself if DCA is the best oral cancer cure available for the lowest price.
