Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? Copy and paste from another forum with links:

Now, hundreds of people are trying desperately to buy the water-soluble powder from chemical suppliers, giving each other advice over the Internet on how to mix the ingredients, discussing how strong doses should be or how to convince their doctors to come on board.

"Can anyone help? It's almost too late," Rob from Saskatchewan wrote on a discussion board on www.thedcasite.com. "My mother has about one month left. We have sources to fill prescriptions but cannot find an MD in Saskatchewan to prescribe. Her current doctor will not even consider it and we can't even get past other doctor's secretaries who are either rude or ask things like, 'Is this some kind of homeopathic thing.' "

A woman called Sandra said her family physician in Edmonton was willing to prescribe DCA, though she would not post his name because he could lose his licence.

3. I have just had two operations because of breast cancer

I haven't been evaluated as to whether the oncologist will start chemo. Maybe I won't need it. But this is ridiculous. why don't the make this public. If they started a campaign to raise money, I know full well they would be swamped with donations. Maybe all the need to experiment along these lines. I had a family member who died with breast cancer and I wish this would have been available then. Talk about bi-partisan this is surely a situation were party or class should not matter. ONLY THE CURE.
