Stone Builders, Mound Builders and the Giants of Ancient America | Jim Vieira

3 November 2012 | Vieira's research over the last 20 years has led him down a bizarre road of intrigue and mystery surrounding the races and built structures of Ancient America. Vieira has compiled thousands of accounts of giant skeleton reports from the New York Times, Smithsonian Ethnology Reports, American Antiquarian, Scientific American as well as town and county histories to make the case that the history of our past has not only been deliberately covered up, but is vastly different then what we are told. With passions in writing, researching, ancient stone work, spirituality and metaphysics, Jim is a stone mason and co-owner of North Wind Stonework in Ashfield, Massachusetts, USA doing dry masonry in and around the Berkshire Highlands for 15 years. Jim belongs to the Northeast Antiquities Research Association, a clearinghouse of information regarding mysterious monuments of antiquity. Jim is a regular contributing columnist for the Shelburne Falls & West County Independent and the national publication, Ancient American Magazine. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

Two billion years ago life first arrived on this planet; a planet, which was filled with a natural frequency. As life slowly evolved, it did so surrounded by this frequency. and Inevitably, it began tuning in.

By the time mankind arrived on earth an incredible relationship had been struck; a relationship that science is just beginning to comprehend.

Research is showing that being exposed to this frequency is absolutely integral to us. It controls our mental and physical health, it synchronizes our circadian rhythms, and it aids our immune system and improves our sense of wellbeing.

Not only are we surrounded by natural frequencies, our bodies are filled with them too. Our cells communicate using electro magnetic frequencies. Our brain emits a constant stream of frequencies and our DNA delivers instructions, using frequency waves. Without them we couldn't exist for more than a second.

This delicate balance has taken billions of years to perfect. But over the last 25 years the harmony has been disturbed. and disturbed dramatically.

Mankind has submerged itself in an ocean of artificial frequencies. They are all around us, filling the air and drowning out the earth's natural resonance.

To the naked eye the planet appears to be the same. But at a cellular level it is the biggest change that life on earth has endured; the affects of which we are just starting to see and feel.

Jewry…Butchers of Gaza

David Versus Monsanto (The Globalist Slow Kill Bio weapons Division).

Imagine that a storm blows across your garden and that now, without your knowledge and without your consent, foreign and genetically-manipulated seeds are in your vegetable patch which you have nourished and maintained for many years. A few days later, representatives of a multi-national corporate group pay you a visit at home, demand that you surrender your vegetables - and simultaneously file a criminal complaint against you, resulting in a fine of
€ 20.000,00 for the illegal use of patented and genetically-manipulated seeds.
What's more: The court finds for the corporate group!
Yet you fight back...

This short story is no utopia rather, around the world, the bitter truth. It is also the true experience of the family of Percy und Louise Schmeiser in Canada, also winners of the Alternative Nobel Prize, who meanwhile have been fighting the chemicals and seed manufacturer Monsanto since 1996. Nowadays, nearly three-fourths of genetically-manipulated plants harvested worldwide originate from
Monsanto labs. Monsanto is a U.S.-based corporate group which calls dismal inventions such as DDT, PCB and Agent Orange its own. In its effort to gain absolute hegemony over plants - from the field all the way to the consumer's plate - Monsanto knows no qualms. The farmers Troy Rush, David Runyon and Marc Loisell also learned the hard way what it means to be confronted with Monsanto's methods of doing business, as did thousands of other farmers worldwide.

They and the Schmeisers are not just fighting against Monsanto and with that, for the continuation of their livelihood as farmers but also for the right to freedom of speech and the right to their property.

Yet above all, they are campaigning for the future of their children and grandchildren so that they, too, will have a chance to grow up in a world without genetically-manipulated food.

This film is reassuring.
Reassuring to all who fear that as an individual, no one would have any power to confront policymakers, large corporations or the business world.
"David vs. Monsanto" proves the opposite.

Homeland Security’s Secret Boston Police Files

 WHDH TV 7 News  New video you’ll see on just one station–and it may include pictures of you! Tonight in her exclusive report, Hank reveals how law enforcement officials are secretly videotaping events–and creating secret “intelligence files” about innocent people! And now two major civil rights groups are calling for the practice to stop! How could it happen? Hank investigates.
Are you in this video? If you were at the peace march at the Park Street T last October you might be. But 7news didn’t shoot this–it’s from Boston police department’s secret surveillance files! Files marked “homeland security” and “extremist”.
Susan Barney of Arlington–a child care provider–was shocked to find her peaceful appearances in public places were being watched–and documented.
Susan Barney, Arlington Resident:
I am in no way a terrorist. I am no way a criminal.
Look at these videos: this one on Boston Common, this one in the financial district–and more–taped by Boston police since 2011. Why is law enforcement recording stuff like this? They say they’re collecting information for a little-known organization called BRIC–the Boston Regional Intelligence Center. It’s funded by homeland security, and its mission? Use these local police departments to watch out for terrorist threats and share information. Problem is: they’re also creating files about innocent people.
Urzsula Maszny-Latos, National Lawyers Guild:
“They are really monitoring everything that they consider suspicious, even those actions are suspicious in anyway.
Hank:
Do you think people know they’re in police video files?
Urzsula Maszny-Latos, National Lawyers Guild:
They don’t!
All these tapes–and this huge stack of reports–stayed secret until this recent lawsuit filed by the ACLU and the Mass Lawyers guild. They now say it proves police are not only targeting real terrorists, they’re tracking peaceful activists, and what’s more, the police are keeping the information on file!
Urzsula Maszny-Latos National Lawyers Guild:
“If an officer videotapes an event and nothing happens after ninety days, the tape should be destroyed.”
Hank:
“Is that what’s happening now?”
Urzsula Maszny-Latos, National Lawyers Guild:
“It’s not.”
Look–some of these surveillance “reports” are four and five years old! Why were the police were keeping them? In this letter, the police explain it was a “software error” and most of the files “should have been purged.”
Carol Rose, ACLU:
“It’s wrong in a democracy for the government to spy on its own citizens and label them as criminals.”
The ACLU and the Guild are now calling for this surveillance to stop. Boston Police tell us BRIC does not maintain surveillance on peaceful protest groups, and they do not monitor events without specific information on suspected criminal activity.

Adolf Hitlers Struggle for Peace

One thing German leader Adolf Hitler was determined to achieve second to the rebuilding of a Germany destroyed by the first world war and the post-war infiltration of Jews and Marxist internationalists into the social-democratic treasonous regime he overthrew, was the prevention of another world war.

But Hitler was unaware that Britain was not ruled by its parliament and prime minister as it appeared to be on the surface and still appears today but by the House of Rothschild; the heads of International Jewry and the current Leaders of the Learned Elders of Zion. He was unaware until far too late that Winston Churchill, a lifelong Zionist about to lose his seat in Parliament and his vast country estate, had become a bought and paid for agent of the Rothschilds and was being run on their behalf by Jew Bernard Barouche; Victor Rothschild being the unseen handler and puppeteer behind the scenes.

And so the many attempts by Hitler to keep peace with Britain went unrewarded and even a dangerous act of courage and selflessness by Rudolf Hess in landing in Britain to try to stop the war was missjudged faith in a nation simply not then or now reflective or representative of its own people but of the transnational Jewish elites who own and control it.

Adolf Hitler had no idea that the British governments then and now are in no way nationalist or patriotic and that was how Germany would also become as a result of an ongoing programme of national brainwashing (through education, media and entertainment) from birth by the Jews, which began immediatly following the end of the second world war. When too late Hitler discovered the truth about the Rothschilds and their family and puppets on Wall Street he described London as the true nest of vipers.

NOT Everyone Is Happy About The EU Winning A Nobel Peace Prize

The European Union is the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Nigel Farage, head of the UK Independent Party, slammed the choice saying that unification of Europe without consent of the people is creating conflict and an economic trap of poverty that is the cause of violence. This confirms once again that the Nobel committee is dominated by advocates of The New World Order based on the Talmud.

Mind blowing speech by Robert Welch in 1958 predicting Insiders plans to destroy America

In 1965, the Vietnam War was being expanded in many of the same ways our wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan War are being expanded today. At the time, the founder of The John Birch Society,Robert Welch tried to educate the American people on the real reason we were at war in Vietnam and why it should be resisted. His insights remain applicable today.

Israel: The Promised Land of Organized Crime

The ADL and SPLCs Nemisis, AIPAC “Killer,” David Duke

—

By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor

—
Silencing David Duke has been seen as one of the most important tasks of organized crime.  Duke, reviled by the ADL, a badge of honor in today’s world, is a powerful and charismatic speaker with more than a minor sense of honor and a total loyalty to truth.

We have to get rid of this guy immediately! What I enjoy about using David Duke for a reference is the pain it causes Abe Foxman. Normally, when I write things, the ADL uses a tasked “watcher,” one we have traced down to being a 48 year old female in the San Francisco region whose “day job” is working as a “dominatrix” to repost articles to “Stormfront” or fill forums with wild obscenities. In actuality, Duke is reviled, as is David Irving, because these are people capable of doing great damage to those who do great evil.

The same people who hate Duke also hate the “new, good version” of Zbigniew Brzezinski and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey. Now that I have allowed David Duke a platform, actual American “freedom of speech,” Abe Foxman’s dominatrix can expect a call. Oddly, this same individual, using multiple IP addresses and names and running several “attack” websites that are meant to intimidate me and other writers at VT also runs a number of Nazi and wildly anti-semitic websites as well. Imagine when the same person, often on the same IP address, assaults you as an “anti-semite” in one email and as a “kike” in another. I have had about 3000 of these from the ADL. I nearly laugh myself sick. You’d think, as representatives of all those Nobel Prize winners, someone would have elementary computer “spoofing” skills.  Source

What in the World Are They Spraying?

The Chemtrail/Geo-Engineering Coverup Revealed. By now everyone has seen crisscrossing streaks of white clouds trailing behind jet aircraft, stretching from horizon to horizon, eventually turning the sky into a murky haze. Our innate intelligence tells us these are not mere vapor trails from jet engines, but no one yet has probed the questions: who is doing this and why. With the release of this video, all of that has changed. Here is the story of a rapidly developing industry called geo-engineering, driven by scientists, corporations, and governments intent on changing global climate, controlling the weather, and altering the chemical composition of soil and water — all supposedly for the betterment of mankind. Although officials insist that these programs are only in the discussion phase, evidence is abundant that they have been underway since about 1990 — and the effect has been devastating to crops, wildlife, and human health. We are being sprayed with toxic substances without our consent and, to add insult to injury, they are lying to us about it.

 Why in the World are They Spraying?


 People around the world are noticing that our planet's weather is dramatically changing. They are also beginning to notice the long lingering trails left behind airplanes that have lead millions to accept the reality of chemtrail/geoengineering programs. Could there be a connection between the trails and our severe weather? While there are many agendas associated with these damaging programs, evidence is now abundant which proves that geoengineering can be used to control weather. In this documentary you will learn how the aerosols being sprayed into our sky are used in conjunction with other technologies to control our weather. While geoengineers maintain that their models are only for the mitigation of global warming, it is now clear that they can be used as a way to consolidate an enormous amount of both monetary and political power into the hands of a few by the leverage that weather control gives certain corporations over the Earth's natural systems. This of course, is being done at the expense of every living thing on the planet. Directed/Produced by Michael J. Murphy and Produced/Edited by Barry Kolsky.. Written by Michael J. Murphy and Barry Kolsky.

Iran Bashing, Terrorism and Who Chose The Chosen People, Anyway?

Dedicated to the long-suffering Palestinians and Iranians who have been sidelined by the United Nations in favour of the Nuclear Apartheid State of Zionist Israel in the most blatant exercise in International Double Standards that our world has ever known.

This video demonstrates that the United States is not a democracy, it is a bribeocracy, largely controlled by Zionists. But citizens of other nations need not be complacent, for there is much evidence to suggest that the same pressures are being brought to bear on their politicians and officials to support Israel's excesses, and an Internet search will reveal that the first ever European Jewish Parliament held its inaugural meeting early in February, 2012; something that the mainstream media seemed reluctant to publicize.

Devil's Breath: The most dangerous drug in the world is a chemical from Colombia can block free will, wipe memory and even kill

    * Scopolamine often blown into faces of victims or added to drinks
    * Within minutes, victims are like 'zombies' - coherent, but with no free will
    * Some victims report emptying bank accounts to robbers or helping them pillage own house
    * Drug is made from borrachero tree, which is common in Colombia

A hazardous drug that eliminates free will and can wipe the memory of its victims is currently being dealt on the streets of Colombia.

The drug is called scopolamine, but is colloquially known as ‘The Devil’s Breath,' and is derived from a particular type of tree common to South America.

Stories surrounding the drug are the stuff of urban legends, with some telling horror stories of how people were raped, forced to empty their bank accounts, and even coerced into giving up an organ.

Judea Declares War on Germany: A Critical Look at the Holocaust and WWII

This DVD takes you on a journey back in time. Hosted by Dr. Fredrick Toben, this intriguing documentary shows a little-known aspect of WWII, in which Jews at one time declared war on Germany. In response to this, many Jews were incarcerated in prison camps, similar to what America did to the Japanese. Some Germans even claim that prior to the war's end when supply lines were cut and starvation and disease was rampant, Jews were treated more humanely than the Japanese in American prison camps. See what such talk is based on. Many rare photographs, and some surprising footage showing the prison camps as they are today.

Starsuckers 2009

Starsuckers is a feature documentary about the celebrity obsessed media, that uncovers the real reasons behind our addiction to fame and blows the lid on the corporations and individuals who profit from it.

Made completely independently over 2 years in secret, the film journeys through the dark underbelly of the modern media. Using a combination of never before seen footage, undercover reporting, stunts and animation, the film reveals the toxic effect the media is having on us all and especially our children.

Chris Atkins presents Starsuckers as a series of five lessons on fame in the modern world: how children are persuaded that fame is something they want, how television and the media reinforces the importance of celebrity and the efforts to attain it, how the mind and body reinforces our need to follow the activities of well-known people and strive to join their number, how the press became addicted to celebrity coverage, and how the art of promoting fame has led to celebrities and their handlers controlling the press instead of the press having say.

Along the way, Atkins demonstrates how celebrity news with no basis in fact gets into print, why newspapers will run press releases almost verbatim, how parents will eagerly sign away the image rights to their kids, how certain mass scale charity events end up helping the performers far more than the causes they designed to support, and how publicists keep accurate but unflattering stories out of the news.

Soviet Subversion of the Free World Press 1984

Yuri Bezmenov, the son of a high-ranking Soviet officer, was a member of the elite propaganda arm of the KGB, known as the Novasti Press Agency. One of his assignments was to accompany journalists visiting the Soviet Union to make sure they did not discover the truth about Soviet life. After becoming disillusioned with the oppressive system, he escaped to the West at great risk to his life.

In this interview, conducted by G. Edward Griffin in 1984, Mr. Bezmenov tells how the Soviets used propaganda against their own citizens; how he hoodwinked American journalists into publishing Soviet propaganda, how slave laborers are concealed from foreign visitors, and how he escaped to the West posing as an American hippie. Includes many photographs brought with him on microfilm at the time of his escape.

Dr. Helen Caldicott: What We Learned From Fukushima 2012.04.02

Few people know that the Pacific Northwest got whacked hard by fallout from the Fukushima disaster with radiation rates hundreds of thousands of times higher than normal background radiation.

The damage from this is not something that the corporate media or the government is talking about.

It mysteriously disappeared from the radar almost immediately. Dr. Caldicott referred to this as a process of “cover-up and psychic numbing.” Looks like it may be working.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission just approved two new nuclear power plants this week (4/2/12) in South Carolina in addition to the two approved earlier this year in Georgia. Dr. Caldicott talks about the dangers and hidden costs of nuclear power then tells the awful truth in minute detail about the actual scale of the Fukushima disaster and compares it to the nuclear disasters of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.

Recent studies estimated that a million people have died so far from Chernobyl. Dr. Helen Caldicott is a physician, Nobel Peace Prize winner, noted author, anti-nuclear power advocate and has founded numerous national and international groups which oppose nuclear power & weapons, including Physicians for Social Responsibility.

911 and the Cover up by Ryan Dawson

ADLtube censors my new 911 film.

My NEW 911 Film is HERE
It starts off like War by Deception i the first few minutes. There are major changes. For one its only on 911 and cut to 1hr 20.
I traced back the front companies hiring people for elevator repair and sprinkler system work in the WTC back to Israelis as well as more reporting on the Israeli movers how many pictures they took, their video before the first plane hit where they passed off the camera, who said what, what they were planning on doing after 9/11, what they were doing on 9/10 what they had on them, what they said to the polygraphers, and how their time lines not only doesn't fit but damns them even more, also more live reports more witnesses, other Israelis bailed out of jail, witnesses murdered, where bush and Cheney were, FEMA's screw ups/lies a lot of back ground on the so called hijackers and the over lapping of the CIA and Al Qaeda, new bit on flight 93, how investigators were blocked and then a break down of the conflicting interests of the whole 911 commission (I've down that before) and finally the missing money why 911 really happened and what the larger plan is.

I didn't get into Iraq or anthrax etc at all that was to keep it far far shorter. This has the FBI and police reports on the Israelis by comparing with new paper and counting letters in the redacted versions I could deduce who said what and who didn't say what until i had nearly a completely un-redacted report.

The Underground - A Hidden Reality and The True Story of Phil Schneider

  “The Underground”, by upcoming exopolitical filmmaker DARCY WEIR, provides background information and testimony as to Phil’s involvement in the building of secret D.U.M.B.S (deep underground military bases) including a base in Dulce, New Mexico for the military.
Schneider claims during the 1970’s during the construction of a D.U.M.B. at Dulce, that he had accidentally tunneled into an ET base resulting in a violent encounter, with loss of life on both sides (human and Alien), which would change his world reality. Schneider embarked on tours across the USA speaking out publically about his shoot out with the aliens, warning of preparations by the elite of a forthcoming New World Order whilst publically displaying to his audiences his chest wounds and his left hand with missing fingers as a result of the shootout.
The film 1 hr 20mins provides clips from the History Channel, graphics and well-known clips from Phil Schneider’s lectures to bring the audience up to date on the story of Phil Schneider. Richard Dolan, Richard Sauder, Neil Gould [Exopolitics HK] and Cynthia Drayer (Phil’s wife) provide expert commentary on the true story of Phil Schneider and the circumstances surrounding his untimely death.
Darcy Weir has brought into the public domain, unseen footage of Phil and his family, seemingly leading a full and happy life. The authorities claimed that Schneider’s death was suicide but his wife’s testimony and the autopsy report which show graphic images of Phil Schneider with a catheter tightly around his neck, prove otherwise!

Sodium Dichloroacetate (DCA) - The Cancer Cure

Recent Medical Research at a Canadian University has confirmed that scientists do understand the cause of cancer. The dying off of old cells to be replaced by new cells is a normal part of our cellular life-cycle and keeps us well. It seems that in cancerous cells, our body has forgotten how to tell the aged cells how to die off and be replaced by healthy new cells.

This process is governed by the mitochondria and is known as "cell death" or "apoptosis". In a cancer cell, the mitochondria has lost the ability to direct the cell to die off - the sick cell becomes "immortal", spreading and making the person increasingly unwell.

Recent Medical trials using DCA have proven this compound can reactivate the mitochondria restoring the cell's original function of "apoptosis" enabling shrinkage in tumor size and mass. Testimonials have shown reversal in illness, remission, clean health tests, increased health and vitality. Favourable results (scientifically measurable) have been accomplished within days (less than a week) of starting treatment with DCA.

"Dr. Evangelos Michelakis, a professor at the U of A Department of Medicine, has shown that dichloroacetate (DCA) causes regression in several cancers, including lung, breast, and brain tumors."

It sounds almost too good to be true: a cheap and simple drug that kills almost all cancers by switching off their immortality. The drug, dichloroacetate (DCA), has already been used for years to treat rare metabolic disorders and so is known to be relatively safe.

It also has no patent, meaning it could be manufactured for a fraction of the cost of newly developed drugs.

Evangelos Michelakis of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, and his colleagues tested DCA on human cells cultured outside the body and found that it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells, but not healthy cells. Tumours in rats deliberately infected with human cancer also shrank drastically when they were fed DCA-laced water for several weeks.

DCA attacks a unique feature of cancer cells: the fact that they make their energy throughout the main body of the cell, rather than in distinct organelles called mitochondria. This process, called glycolysis, is inefficient and uses up vast amounts of sugar.

Until now it had been assumed that cancer cells used glycolysis because their mitochondria were irreparably damaged. However, Michelakiss experiments prove this is not the case, because DCA reawakened the mitochondria in cancer cells. The cells then withered and died (Cancer Cell).

Michelakis suggests that the switch to glycolysis as an energy source occurs when cells in the middle of an abnormal but benign lump dont get enough oxygen for their mitochondria to work properly (see diagram). In order to survive, they switch off their mitochondria and start producing energy through glycolysis.

Crucially, though, mitochondria do another job in cells: they activate apoptosis, the process by which abnormal cells self-destruct. When cells switch mitochondria off, they become immortal, outliving other cells in the tumour and so becoming dominant. Once reawakened by DCA, mitochondria reactivate apoptosis and order the abnormal cells to die.

The results are intriguing because they point to a critical role that mitochondria play:

they impart a unique trait to cancer cells that can be exploited for cancer therapy, says Dario Altieri, director of the University of Massachusetts Cancer Center in Worcester.

The phenomenon might also explain how secondary cancers form. Glycolysis generates lactic acid, which can break down the collagen matrix holding cells together. This means abnormal cells can be released and float to other parts of the body, where they seed new tumors.

DCA can cause pain, numbness and gait disturbances in some patients, but this may be a price worth paying if it turns out to be effective against all cancers. The next step is to run clinical trials of DCA in people with cancer. These may have to be funded by charities, universities and governments: pharmaceutical companies are unlikely to pay because they cant make money on unpatented medicines. The pay-off is that if DCA does work, it will be easy to manufacture and dirt cheap.

Canadian researchers find a simple cure for cancer, but major pharmaceutical companies are not interested. Researchers at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada have recently cured cancer, yet there is but little ripple in the news or on TV. It is a simple technique using a very basic drug. The method employs dichloroacetate, which is currently used to treat metabolic disorders, so there is no concern of side effects or other long term effects.
The drug doesn’t require a patent, so anyone can employ it widely and cheaply compared to the costly cancer drugs produced by major pharmaceutical companies.



Canadian scientists tested dichloroacetate (DCA) on human cells; it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells and left the healthy cells alone. It was tested on rats inflicted with severe tumors; their cells shrank when they were fed with water supplemented with DCA. The drug is widely available and the technique is easy to use, but why are the major drug companies not involved, or the media not interested in this find?
In human cells there is a natural cancer fighting organelle, the mitochondria, but it needs to be triggered in order to be effective. Scientists used to think that the mitochondria of cancerous cells were damaged and thus ineffective. They used to focus on glycolysis, which is less effective in fighting cancer and wasteful. The drug manufacturers focused on the glycolysis method to fight cancer. DCA treatment on the other hand doesn’t rely on glycolysis but instead on reactivating the mitochondria; which allows the cell to die and prevents the cancer from spreading.
This reactivation is a process called apoptosis. You see, mitochondria contain an all-too-important self-destruct button that cannot be pressed in cancer cells. Without it, tumors grow larger as cells refuse to be extinguished. Fully functioning mitochondria, thanks to DCA, can once again be allowed to die.
With glycolysis turned off, the body produces less lactic acid, so the bad tissue around cancer cells doesn’t break down and seed new tumors.


Pharmaceutical companies are not investing in this research because DCA method cannot be patented, and without a patent they cannot make money. They’re currently making fortunes with their AIDS patent. Since the pharmaceutical companies won’t develop DCA drugs, independent laboratories should start researching DCA more to confirm all of the above findings and begin producing drugs. All of the groundwork can be done in collaboration with the universities, who will be glad to assist in such research and can develop an effective drug for curing cancer. This article hopes to raise more awareness of dichloroacetate, and to hopefully inspire some independent companies and small startups to pick up on this idea and begin producing life-saving drugs… because the big companies won’t be touching it for a long time.

Update, 16 May 2011: If you've just heard about this story, please read this recent update too.

Dichloroacetic acid, often abbreviated DCA, is the chemical compound with formula CHCl₂COOH. It is an acid, an analogue of acetic acid, in which two of the three hydrogen atoms of the methyl group have been replaced by chlorine atoms. The salts and esters of dichloroacetic acid are called dichloroacetates. Salts of DCA have been studied as potential drugs because they inhibit the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase.^{[citation needed]}
Cancer cells change the way they metabolize oxygen in a way that promotes their survival. In laboratory studies of isolated cancer cells grown in tissue culture, DCA restores the original metabolism, and promotes their self-destruction. This has led to the use of DCA for treating cancer, by individuals experimenting with it themselves, by doctors administering it to patients as a non-approved drug, by scientists testing it in cancer tissue cultures in cell culture and in mice, and in human Phase II studies. DCA has improved certain biochemical parameters, but it has not demonstrated improved survival.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Chemistry and occurrence

The chemistry of dichloroacetic acid is typical for halogenated organic acids. It is a member of the chloroacetic acids family. The dichloroacetate ion is produced when the acid is mixed with water. As an acid with a pK_a of 1.35,^[1] pure dichloroacetic acid is very corrosive and extremely destructive to tissues of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.^[2]
DCA does not occur in nature. It is a trace product of the chlorination of drinking water and is produced by the metabolism of various chlorine-containing drugs or chemicals.^[3] DCA is typically prepared by the reduction of trichloroacetic acid.

[edit] Therapeutic use

Owing to the highly corrosive action of the acid, only the salts of dichloroacetic acid are used therapeutically, including its sodium and potassium salts, sodium dichloroacetate and potassium dichloroacetate.

[edit] Lactic acidosis

The dichloroacetate ion stimulates the activity of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase by inhibiting the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase.^[4] Thus, it decreases lactate production by shifting the metabolism of pyruvate from fermentation towards oxidation in the mitochondria. This property has led to trials of DCA for the treatment of lactic acidosis in humans.^[5][6][7][8]
A randomized controlled trial in children with congenital lactic acidosis found that while DCA was well tolerated, it was ineffective in improving clinical outcomes.^[6] A separate trial of DCA in children with MELAS (a syndrome of inadequate mitochondrial function, leading to lactic acidosis) was halted early, as all 15 of the children receiving DCA experienced significant nerve toxicity without any evidence of benefit from the medication.^[7] A randomized controlled trial of DCA in adults with lactic acidosis found that while DCA lowered blood lactate levels, it had no clinical benefit and did not improve hemodynamics or survival.^[8]
Thus, while early case reports and pre-clinical data suggested that DCA might be effective for lactic acidosis, subsequent controlled trials have found no clinical benefit of DCA in this setting. In addition, clinical trial subjects were incapable of continuing on DCA as a study medication owing to progressive toxicities.

[edit] Potential cancer applications

Cancer cells generally express increased glycolysis, because they rely on anaerobic respiration that occurs in the cytosol (lactic acid fermentation) rather than oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria for energy (the Warburg effect), as a result of hypoxia that exists in tumors and malfunctioning mitochondria. ^{[9] [10]} Usually dangerously damaged cells kill themselves via apoptosis, a mechanism of self-destruction that involves mitochondria, but this mechanism fails in cancer cells.
A phase I study published in January 2007 by researchers at the University of Alberta, who had tested DCA on human^[11] cancer cells grown in mice, found that DCA restored mitochondrial function, thus restoring apoptosis, allowing cancer cells to self-destruct and shrink the tumor.^[12]
These results received extensive media attention, beginning with an article in New Scientist titled "Cheap, ‘safe’ drug kills most cancers".^[11] Subsequently, the American Cancer Society and other medical organizations have received a large volume of public interest and questions regarding DCA.^[13] Clinical trials in humans with cancer have not been conducted in the USA and are not yet final in Canada, emphasizing the need for caution in interpreting the preliminary results.^[13][14]

[edit] Results of phase II clinical trials

In in vitro studies, Evangelos Michelakis of University of Alberta found that in tissue samples from 49 patients, DCA caused depolarization of mitochondria in GBM tissue but not in normal brain tissue.^[15]
Five palliative patients with primary GBM were entered into a phase II trial. Three had not responded to several chemotherapies; two were newly diagnosed. After surgical removal of tumor mass, they were treated with DCA and chemotherapy.^[15]
Of the five patients tested, one died after three months. The surviving four were followed for 15 months. Their Karnofsky scores were unchanged in two cases, and decreased by 10 points in two patients.^[15]
DCA was associated with tumor regression and had a good safety profile. DCA side effects were minimal.^[15]
Michelakis is proceeding with phase three human studies with private funding from philanthropic groups and individuals. DCA's legal status as a discovery is public domain because it was made or discovered as far back as 1864^[16] and has been used in the treatment of canine and human lactic acidosis, some who presented at the beginning of treatment with cancer.

[edit] Concerns about pre-trial use

Following its initial publication, The New Scientist later editorialized, "The drug may yet live up to its promise as an anti-cancer agent – clinical trials are expected to start soon. It may even spawn an entirely new class of anti-cancer drugs. For now, however, it remains experimental, never yet properly tested in a person with cancer. People who self-administer the drug are taking a very long shot and, unlikely as it may sound, could even make their health worse."^[17]
In 2010, it was found that for human colorectal tumours grown in mice, under hypoxic conditions, DCA decreased rather than increased apoptosis, resulting in enhanced growth of the tumours.^[18] These findings suggest that at least in some cancer types DCA treatment could be detrimental to patient health, highlighting the need for further testing before it can be considered a safe and effective cancer treatment.^[18]

[edit] Planned and ongoing clinical trials

DCA is non-patentable as a compound, though a patent has been filed for its use in cancer treatment.^[19] Research by Evangelos Michelakis has received no support from the pharmaceutical industry.^{[citation needed]} Concerns have been raised that without strong intellectual property protection, the financial incentive for drug development is reduced, and therefore obtaining sufficient funds to conduct clinical trials presents difficulty.^{[11][13][14][20]} However, other sources of funding exist; previous studies of DCA have been funded by government organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and by private charities (e.g. the Muscular Dystrophy Association). Recognizing anticipated funding challenges, Michelakis's lab took the unorthodox step of directly soliciting online donations to fund the research.^[21] After 6 months, his lab had raised over $800,000, enough to fund a small Clinical Phase 2 study. Michelakis and Archer have applied for a patent on the use of DCA in the treatment of cancer.^[19][22]
On 24 September 2007, the Department of Medicine of Alberta University reported that after the trial funding was secured, both the Alberta local ethics committee and Health Canada approved the first DCA clinical trial for cancer.^[23] This initial trial was relatively small with enrollment of up to 50 patients. The trial was completed in August 2009.^[24] In May 2010 the team published a press release^[25] stating no conclusions could be drawn as a result of the trial. A paper describing the results was published^[26] but not linked from the press release. Only five patients had been treated with the drug during the trial.
In May 2011, online reports^[27] suggested that the Alberta group had released new data which the media "had not reported". However, this appeared to be caused by confusion between dates (the previous update was May 2010^[28]) and cancer charities moved quickly to counter these rumours,^[29][30] which were subsequently covered in New Scientist magazine.^[31]
The use of this compound as an anti-cancer agent has been patented.^[32]

[edit] Side effects

Reports in the lay press after the 2007 University of Alberta announcement claim that dichloroacetate "has actually been used safely in humans for decades",^[33] DCA is generally well-tolerated, even in children.^[34] Short-term, infused, bolus doses of DCA at 50 mg/kg/day have been well-tolerated.^[35] The Medicor Cancer Centre reports on its website the use of 20–25 mg/kg/day on a two-week on, one week off cycle. This cycling helps determine which side effects are due to DCA, which are due to cancer, and if treatment should be discontinued.^[36]
At sustained, higher doses(generally 25 mg/kg/day taken orally, or greater), there is increased risk of several reversible toxicities, especially peripheral neuropathy, neurotoxicity, and gait disturbance.^[4][33] Studies have also shown that it can be carcinogenic at high doses.^[37]

[edit] Neuropathy

A clinical trial where DCA was given to patients of MELAS (a form of genetically inherited lactic acidosis) at 25 mg/kg/day was ended prematurely due to excessive peripheral nerve toxicity.^[38] Dichloroacetate can also have anxiolytic or sedative effects.^[3]
Animal studies suggest that the neuropathy and neurotoxicity during chronic dichloroacetate treatment may be partly due to depletion of thiamine, and thiamine supplementation in rats reduced these effects.^[39] However, more recent studies in humans suggest that peripheral neuropathy is a common side effect during chronic DCA treatment, even with coadministration of oral thiamine.^[40][41] An additional study reported that 50 mg/kg/day DCA treatment resulted in unsteady gait and lethargy in two patients, with symptoms occurring after one month for one patient and two months for the second. Gait disturbance and consciousness were recovered with cessation of DCA, however sensory nerve action potentials did not recover in one month.^[42]
It has been reported that animals and patients treated with DCA have elevated levels of delta-aminolevulinic acid (delta-ALA) in the urine. A study published in 2008 suggests that this product may be the cause of the neurotoxic side effect of DCA by blocking peripheral myelin formation.^[43]

[edit] Carcinogenicity

Long term use (three years or more) of high doses (> 77 mg/kg/day) of DCA has been shown to increase risk of liver cancer in mice.^[37] Studies of the trichloroethylene (TCE) metabolites dichloroacetic acid (DCA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and chloral hydrate suggest that both DCA and TCA are involved in TCE-induced liver tumorigenesis and that many DCA effects are consistent with conditions that increase the risk of liver cancer in humans.^[44]

[edit] Self-medication

The promise of DCA as a cheap, effective and safe treatment for cancer generated a great deal of public interest. Many people turned to self-medication.^[45][46]
Doctors warned of potential problems if people attempt to try DCA outside a controlled clinical trial. "If it starts going badly, who is following you before it gets out of control? By the time you realize your liver is failing, you're in big trouble", said Laura Shanner, Associate Professor of Health Ethics at the University of Alberta.^[47]
