(updated 24 January 2010)

A fascinating case of a complete lung cancer remission by a lady using only DCA came to our attention near the end of January 2008. She did not use chemotherapy, radiation or take any supplements and was given 4 months to live. We discovered that she was a prodigious tea drinker, consuming 10-12 cups of straight black tea daily. We did more checking and found that there indeed appears to be a strong relationship between caffeine consumption and the results you get with DCA.

We have formed a hypothesis that needs your help: Does caffeine enable DCA to work more effectively? If we can get more survey results, we will be able to let others know if caffeine, supplements, or other compounds are assisting DCA. Any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated. For more information see: The DCA-Caffeine-B1 Protocol page.

Please help us to help others by filling out this survey of DCA effectiveness and caffeine use. Feel free to elaborate and add information. Privacy is strictly observed and no names will be released. And even if we have spoken already, please fill out the survey. Thanks. Check www.theDCAsite.com for updates.
