Q: There's been a few positive articles about DCA (dichloroacetate) for cancer, but clinical guidelines are hard to come by and there is some risk of causing a toxic neuropathy. The best I could find is and article on using it for congenital lactic acidosis in kids (25-50mg/kg/d oral) with only a "modest" effect on nerve conduction:
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/117/5/1519However, this study found peripheral neurpathy in all patients (adults) who took 25mg/kg/day (route unspecified, but presumably oral) in less then 2 years:
