New Scientist has an article out today that states that dichloroacetate which is a cheap drug that has been used for years to treat metabolic disorders has the power to kill most kinds of cancers by alterinjg the way that the cells themselves use sugar.
This is a very interesting find because as we know there are many drugs that have been and are created that seem to have “side effects” that are good for other unrelated health issues.
No one at this point knows how successful dichloroacetate will be in curing cancers in people as the drug itslef has only been tried on rats and the road to human trials for any drug is a long road. Time will tell if this is something to watch for.
