Thank you for this article- My friend is just starting treatment (aug11-07) and is being monitored through Medicor in Toronto, Ont , Canada...

It is amazing how CLOSE minded people can be and your article addresses a lot of those people......

The FDA in the states has come down hard on the sale of DCA - I guess there is no money in it for them , or the pharmaceutical companies that own the FDA .....

I will earmark your site in my favs for future readings

Great Article.. I currently have Lung Cancer and am taking a drug that is not on the market yet, my chances of living past the end of the year are slim to none without this drug. With this drug called trerra342, there is the chance that I could put it into remission. So I would say yes people should be able to do what ever they want to there body without the government or anybody else telling them what to do.
