Udhay even if this substance actually works as advertised it cannot be proven beyond reasonable doubt that it does work without putting it through rigorous testing, initially on animals and later on humans, and for a long period of time in comparison with other therapies. There appears to be enough interest for that to have just started. From a medical standpoint the final evidence that a cancer was "cured" comes only after waiting fo 20 or 25 years or more when a person ostensibly "cured" of cancer dies of something else with no evidence of cancer recurrence. This is simply because some cancers that have been though to be cured eventually reappear after a very long period of time. About DCA specifically - here is what I think is an interesting and informative viewpoint. http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2010/05/dichloroacetate_dca_and_cancer_deja_vu_a.php shiv
