I'm referring specifically to DCA here -- the tests with lab rats seem to produce far better results than with people.

Possible reason?  Lab rats are fed a highly nutritious diet, and don't eat junk food.  And of course they don't smoke, drink, or take recreational drugs.

In addition, lab rats produce their own vitamin C in their bodies, as do all mammals except for apes, man, and guinea pigs.  It is estimated by some authors that if human beings made their own vitamin C as most animals do, our bodies would produce 13,000 milligrams of vitamin C a day!

Perhaps this is why many cancer patients are having good results using Intravenous Vitamin C treatments. My alternative/medical doctor recommends daily doses of at least 10,000mg pharm. grade vitamin c even when one has no health challenges. Good way to keep the immune system strong.
