Could DCA be used by Liver Cance Patient? Could it Help?

by msalam, May 20, 2009 05:21AM

My relative has been diagnosed with Liver Cancer more than 10 months ago. He is currently in 'Waiting to Die' status and we are all very desperate about his conditions.I surfed the web and start hearing about DCA (Sodium Dichloroacetate; source: thedcasite.com) which I feel very promising.

so I wonder if he can use DCA? could it help him?

Thanks

Thank you doctor for your response... unfortunately my relative has died 3 days ago (he had primary liver cancer which metastasized to other organs)

I'm sorry to hear about your relative passing on. I will pray for you and your family may God show his love to you. I lost my mom a couple years ago to a brain tumor so I can definitly relate to you. Take care now and feel free to respond if you need someone to talk to.
