Here is a website set up by the University of Alberta with information about all this, with an FAQ section - DCA RESEARCH INFORMATION

"At this point, the University of Alberta, the Alberta Cancer Board and Capital Health do not condone or advise the use of dichloroacetate (DCA) in human beings for the treatment of cancer since no human beings have gone through clinical trials using DCA to treat cancer.

However, the University of Alberta and the Alberta Cancer Board are committed to performing clinical trials in the immediate future in consultation with regulatory agencies such as Health Canada. We believe that because DCA has been used on human beings in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials of metabolic diseases, the cancer clinical trials timeline for our research will be much shorter than usual.

This website will be updated frequently to reflect progress in our efforts."

I'd suggest anyone interested bookmarks that website.

It seems strange how little mainstream media interest there appears to be about this. I just entered dichloroacetate into Google News, and virtually nothing there. I'm not suggesting conspiracy here, just widespread journalistic incompetence. Of course it is quite a long word, dichloroacetate...
