Any Ideas on DCA

Looks like it can't hurt? The following is from pubmed but I am aware of almost anything being published there. Anyone have ideas on this or tried it? If so where did you get it and dose?

I remember DCA being hyped 15 years ago. There was a very useful DCA site that seemed to have everything one could want to know about DCA. The owners felt that everyone with cancer should have access to it. The FDA raided them, etc.

Eventually, interest in PCa groups died out. I never did use the jar I had bought before the raid.

IMO, the probability of DCA being useful is low.

There are more productive uses of time & money IMO.

I used DCA 14 years ago. I was on a 6 week treatment. It lowered my PSA down to 8.0 and began to decrease each three months in 0.1 increments for over three years. During that time I did not use any other Pca treatments. My PSA continued down to 7.1 until it began to slowly rise.

The only side effect I had and still have peripheral neuopathy which I treat with gabapentin and Tylenol. I would say DCA is as effective as any other drug used to treat Pca.

They lie about this: “ the occupancy of peripheral neuropathy with chronic use is temporary and limited to the duration of treatment.” It’s poison to those and probably other non cancerous cells of our bodies, I suspect. Interesting review of the mechanisms of action etc.

I can only report my personal experience. DCA gave me 3 1\2 years of a PSA and quality life.
