The discovery of our Immunity Vitamin

The role of DCA in our immune defence

Stages of illness as a consequence of a lack of  DCA  

The discovery of our Immunity Vitamin

DCA stands for Deoxy Cholic Acid. It is known for about 100 years as a substance occurring naturally in the body. DCA is classified in the medical category of secondary bile acids. What we know of the bile acids is their big role in fat digestion. In traditional western medicine no further important roles seem to have an impact on the nature of bile acids. But if we look a little bit closer on DCA, we discover that it has a completely different physiological behaviour in our body than the other secondary bile acids. That is only logical, if we allow the idea that deoxycholic acid has a totally different (second) function in our body than it was known till today.

The main function of DCA was discovered between 1967 and 1968 by a group of Czech scientists under the leadership of Mr. Dr. Bohuslav Vlcek. It is due to him, that we have now this profound knowledge about the function of our initial immune defence. Back in the late sixties, Dr. Vlcek was the one of the heads of the chemistry department of the venerable Karls university in Prague, Czech Republic, and the designated successor of  the Nobel prize winner Prof. Hérovský. The investigations of this scientist and his group were the start up of a new understanding of how our unspecific immune system works. The main discovery lies in the fact, that

DCA´s main function is the role of a immunomodulator, that controls the activation of our unspecific immune system.

Later a second function of DCA was obvious as a "global player" in the hormonal balance of our body.

Both these functions of deoxycholic acid are not recognized in traditional western medicine till now. Sometimes DCA is even supposed to be a harmless but useless "mistake of the nature", a senseless remainder of evolution. Therefore the most important use of deoxycholic acid in medical areas is the application as a choleretic, an in nutrition as an emulsifier. Both as well because of its harmlessness and good physiological tolerance.

But nowerdays even in industrial nations we start to realize, that the role of DCA in our body is much bigger. It has to be emphasized that many cultures use naturopathic medicine based on herbs which contain natural deoxycholic acid to cure exactly the diseases you will find on the indication list on this site. The Chinese people for example use for possibly thousands of years naturopathic medicament called Niuhuang (herb extract of schisandra chinensis) to heal inflammations and immune deficiency. The latest findings show, that DCA is the main component in this traditional medicine. In Poland doctors use a special mushroom to defeat cancer – and its main constituent is a substance chemically very close to DCA.

All theses findings point to the function of deoxycholic acid as a main immunostimulator. We have to emphasize the fact, that all the information cited on this site is merely based on straight scientific findings in interdisciplinary research in biology, chemistry and medicine. Most of the facts were published in the meanwhile, and many are verified through medical experiments. The information you read here is in practical use already, but in a silent way.  
 

The role of DCA in our immune defence

DCA is a substance that soaks all tissues of a healthy human body. On its health patrol DCA stays in a physiologically inactive form. But when it stumbles over a local inflammation focus or a tumour (the blood around both of them is slightly more sour), it changes its structure to a physiologically highly active form, and forces a very intense immunity response. The immune reaction activated by DCA is therefore local, specific and strong.

The part of the immune system DCA works with is the so called unspecific immune system, mainly dominated by the macrophages – the biggest immune cells we own. This system is the task force with the duty to build up a first defence wall towards incoming infections. Scientific research focused the last decades on the specific immune system (carried by the lymphozytes, the antibodies and so on), with the idea to develop new vaccinations for dangerous diseases an similar tasks. But being totally focused on this part of our immunity, the research failed to discover our natural initial defence mechanism caused by DCA.

Another thing important to know is the steroid-like chemical structure of deoxycholic acid, because DCA works as an active hormone of our steroid system. It docks on the receptors of our autonomic nervous system, and behaves competitive to our corticoidal hormone group and to some other hormones as many sexual hormones. Supplementary to its role as a direct immunostimulator DCA has harmonizing effects on the autonomic nervous system, to be felt in many cases as a regulation of the bowel movement, normalisation of blood pressure, relief of physiological stress-symptoms and so on. DCA helps the body to slide into a state of recovery that is necessary for an effective and fast immune defence.

According to hundreds of  results there is one thing that is known for sure by now. Only with a sufficiently high concentration of DCA in our tissues, an enough stable first immune defence can be built up. This is one of the main keys to a robust constitution. If we have a good health in that sense, many diseases as herpes or cancer have no chance to develop. But if the level of DCA drops below a minimum – and that is a fact for many people in industrial nations – we start to be prone to all kinds of infections, that normally would be easily fought by our immune system.  
 

Stages of immune deficiency (DCA-avitaminosis)

So once again: The lower our natural DCA-level is, the more we are prone to all kinds of infections. We can observe different stages of a lack of DCA, which I also describe as the stages of a DCA-avitaminosis. The stages can be verified from everybody, and this way it is possible to draw conclusions on the condition of our unspecific immune system.

Stage1: A hindered DCA circulation causes disease symptoms of the autonomic nervous system 
At this first stage of a not perfectly functioning DCA system we find disturbances that we (people in industrial nations) don't even recognize as disorders – we misjudge them as inevitable weaknesses of our imperfect bodies. In this category we find all the symptoms that are based on single sided over-stimulation of the autonomic nervous system from to the DCA system antagonistic hormones (esp. corticoids). In this case the symptoms are high blood pressure, problems with blood circulation, insomnia, irritability and different problems with digestion and regular bowel.

Stage 2: A slight DCA-avitaminosis leads to poor health 
At this second stage we find a more serious disturbance of the DCA circulation or even a slightly lowered DCA production. Our immune defence is still good enough to fight severe diseases, but it is already too weak to compete up with the small everyday illnesses, that we love to suppress with palliative medicaments (no cure, just a repression on the symptom level). Examples would be diseases accompanied by fever, long term colds, acne, prolonged wound healing or warts.

Stage 3: An obvious DCA-avitaminosis leads to manifest diseases 
At this stage our body produces definitely too small amounts of DCA. We get prone to diseases that are too obvious and painful to repress them, as they keep us of functioning in everyday life. In this category we find viral caused inflammation diseases as Herpes or chickenpox as well as bacteria caused inflammations like otitis, sinusitis or infections of the urinal tract or neuralgias.

Stage 4: Severe DCA-avitaminosis leads to severe diseases 
In this category we find diseases we probably would not get with an at least halfway stable unspecific immune system – only if being exposed to extreme environmental toxins or a high dose (or highly infectious) causative agent. Often we can avoid these illnesses just with a basic knowledge about our immune system. Here we find many autoimmune diseases, chronic states, cancer and possibly AIDS.  
 
 
 
 
 

There are two main fields of practical application of the knowledge about DCA in medical use. The first onbe is its use as a substantial tool to cure acute inflammations and several other diseases – the so called active therapy. The second one is a sanitation of our primary immune defence to gain a robust resistance and strong health. We call it passive therapy.

Active Therapy – Healing acute diseases with DCA

Passive Therapy – Sanitation of our primary immune defence  

Active Therapy – Healing acute diseases with DCA

If we are falling ill in the initial stage of a disease that belongs to the indicational spectrum of DCA, we can conclude that our DCA level is too low, so our primary immune response can not cope up with the invaders. In this case we can use DCA as a naturopathic medicament to substitute the missing DCA in our body. This is the same way as using vitamin c to cure scorbute. This way we achieve is an immense local immunity boost which can defeat the illness in the initial stage very efficiently.

We have to emphasize once again, that DCA is not a magic potion. The use of DCA is of course limited to a group of illnesses which are named in the indications part of this site. The miracle about DCA is the speed and effectiveness of its healing power. This can only occur because of an acceleration of the natural immunity response. DCA is not an unphysiological synthetic medicament to ease the symptoms – it is a natural substance to speed up our immune system and to activate the natural healing power of our body.

The effects of DCA in substitution therapy are without exaggeration stunning, comparable with the dosage of vitamins in a cure of a vitamin deficiency. The healing process starts 4-6 hours after a first dosage of DCA. About 12 to 24 hours later in most cases the main symptoms of the disease are gone or are found in a state that doesn´t bother the patient anymore (no pain, the swelling has gone down, etc.). The symptoms fade because of the substantial cure of the cause of the illness.

A direct substitutional therapy with DCA is only necessary if there is an acute illness going on. Under professional supervision and with the right indication and handling, therapy with deoxycholic acid is totally harmless and free of problems. DCA belongs to the body as any other vitamin or hormone, and there are regulation systems to cope up with different amounts of DCA.

Dr. B. Vlcek developed a cleverly thought out manual for DCA-therapy with elaborated instructions for the dosage of DCA in treatment of acute diseases. This way a highly successful treatment is possible. Further information is available in our workshops for practicionners and doctors that can handle DCA on a legal base as a medicament. Use the option to become a DCA-Therapist™.  
 

Passive Therapy – Sanitation of our primary immune defence

If we are prone to illnesses in the DCA spectrum (see also stages of DCA avitaminosis), than we have to care about the basic function of our primary immune defence. There are three main keys existing to understand where the problem can be. The first thing to maintain a healthy DCA level is to ensure a sufficient DCA production in our gut. As we know that DCA is produced by certain intestinal bacteria, first we have to take care for an individually well maintained intestinal flora. Here we have to learn about probiotic nutrition and how to handle harmful chemicals in everyday life.

Second we have to protect the circulating DCA in our body, so it can reach every place in our body to be able to do its job. The third thing is to enable deoxycholic acid to activate the macrophages. Several drugs and contraindicated medicaments can lower the effect of the macrophage activation of DCA by obstructing the receptors of the macrophages.

If we have a good production, circulation and activation of DCA, we have a solid base for our initial immunity. If we use the knowledge about DCA properly, the final aim is not a long term DCA substitution, but mainly a reorganisation of the intestinal flora and a probiotic lifestyle, to get a sufficient or even superb own supply of our immunity vitamin. If we manage that, the reward is an iron constitution, that many of us know only from their children or grandparents. We give further instruction in our workshops about the do´s and don't´s for medical professionals that work with DCA.  

This chapter is dealing with the active cure of acute diseases with deoxycholic acid. In this section of the site you will come across some well known diseases (mostly inflammations) where there is evidence, that DCA can profoundly cure these illnesses. First there will be an explanation of the different indication-groups that tangle deoxycholic acid. In a second step important diseases will be expatiated one by one.

Indicational groups

The diseases that react upon a treatment with DCA (or not) can be well assorted into indicational groups, according to the characteristics some diseases have in common. If you are dealing with an illness that is not listed on this site, you can assess the healing effect of DCA by comparing the characteristics of the disease with the attributes in the following indicational classes.

Group 1: Best indication: Viral inflammations with a local focus 
The home games of DCA are fresh viral inflammations with a local focus. Here we find diseases as herpes, neuritis, shingles, chicken pox or new warts. We can obtain analgesia and resolve the swelling after only 12-24 hours. It is possible to heal up the main symptoms of the illness in two to three days.

Group 2: Good Indication: Anaerobic bacterial inflammations with a local focus 
We receive very good results as well in fresh anaerobic bacterial inflammations with a local focus such as inflammation of wounds, inflammations of the urinary tract, nephritis, pyelitis or concomitant symptoms of influenza as inflammations of the urinary tract or angina. Very young bacterial inflammations react upon DCA as well as viral ones. But it is important to know that this presumes the fact, that there is no pus in the seat of disease. Pus raises the pH-value of the blood and activates different types of immune cells than macrophages - DCA stops working.

Group 3: Possible Indication: Cancer 
Over the years several cases of cancer could be healed. Cancer cells behave compatible to the immune mechanism of the unspecific immune system and build up sour local focus. But it is important to say as well that only several types of cancer react upon DCA, and that it is very helpful to work with patients, that haven't been much treated with conservative medical therapy. The process of building up metastasis can be retarded and stopped as well.

Group 4: Possible symptom healing: AIDS 
Some characteristic symptoms of the commencing clinical picture of AIDS can be found in-between the diseases that can be cured with DCA. We can assume a medicinal benefit of deoxycholic acid on parts of the AIDS syndrome. There are some isolated cases where some symptoms o

 [ send green star]

Group 5: Side indication: Disharmony of the vegetative nervous system 
As we explained before – deoxycholic acid is a bile acid, and the same time a part of our hormone system. The DCA molecule can dock on the receptors of the autonomous nervous system an cause effects on it. It is competitive to the corticoidal system and has more of a kind of a harmonizing effects on our condition. Here we can observe mainly calming effects as well as a help to the regulation of the bowl or normalization of the blood pressure – simply said opposite effects of the stress hormones.

Group 6: No indication: Several diseaes ... like influenza 
To destroy the magic potion image of DCA once again – the most diseases that are found around the world can not be combated with our immunity vitamin. Some of these illnesses have no local focus where macrophages could cumulate like the general cold. Some do not lower the pH-value of the blood far enough like hepatitis and some have agents the unspecific immune system seems to be not really responsible for like prions or all kinds of mycosis. DCA is as well helpless if it comes to aerobic bacterial infections like pneumonia, leprosy, pestilence. Apart of that most of the diseases in the third world countries cant be fought with DCA like malaria, cholera, typhus or the yellow fever.

Group 7: Difficult indication: Rheumatism and autoimmune diseases 
DCA is problematical if it comes to cure diseases, where an overshooting immune system is the cause of the problem itself. If we treat someone with deoxycholic acid who has rheumatism, asthma or allergies, the symptoms tend to get worse for one up to two days, and then drop back to the starting condition. On the other side it gives us the possibility to heal autoimmune diseases that are residues from incompletely healed infections or rheumatism in some cases by guiding the patient through a dip of aggravation to a state of better health or even complete well-being.

Group 8: Contraindication: Asthma, allergies and neurodermatitis 
There are some diseases, where a treatment with DCA is strictly contraindicated. In this group we find allergies, asthma, neurodermatits, lupus erithematodes or gout. If we treat with deoxycholic acid, the symptoms of the disease raise for one or two days, and we gain no healing effect at all. To ease the symptoms of these illnesses we need the opposite hormonal substance to DCA - the corticoids. And on the other side every doctor can tell you that you have to avoid corticoids when treating a virus infection like herpes.

Acne

Acne is a collective name for diverse manifestations of bad skin. If we take acne vulgaris to be more precise, a common trigger can be a bad diet as well as a change in the hormone system in puberty – and there are other causes as well. Acne is commonly a small inflammation in the skin, and this way it reacts in a positive way on a DCA treatment, and it disappears for a while.

The problem is, that in most cases a bad immune system is not the reason for acne, so a DCA cure is not a causal treatment. If we take acne in puberty as an example, the raise of the DCA antagonist progesterone as well as cortison just change the hormonal balance, and with the same amount of DCA in our blood we get a lower effect on our immune system. So the lever for substantial healing is somewhere else.  
 

Adenoids (inflammations)

Inflammations of the adenoids are often viral inflammations that start with a pus-free phase or stay pus-free. They react very well to a DCA treatment as they fulfil perfectly the prerequisites for a cure with deoxycholic acid. They build up sour local foci (in opposite to some big organs like the liver) and have a strong accumulation of immune cells. Good examples for this category are mumps, cytomegaly or lymph node inflammations.

Excellent healing effects can be seen especially when treating mumps (virus inflammation of the salivary gland in the ear). The pain relieves overnight, the swelling disappears and the restoration of complete health is very quick. In several cases there were also some good results reported about curing lymph node inflammations caused by HIV.  
 

AIDS

Let us talk about the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome that is caused by the HIV virus (Human Immunodeficiency virus, also known under different other manifestations and names as LAV, HTLV-III). In this case we catch it through getting in contact with a body serum, especially with blood and sexual activities. Then we have the virus in our body – we are HIV positive.

The initial stage after the infection is not spectacular with only little or no external symptoms at all. The virus directly penetrates into host cells and starts (what is characteristic for every virus) to multiply immensely.

The initial stage after the infection is not spectacular with only little or no external symptoms at all. The virus directly penetrates into host cells and starts (what is characteristic for every virus) to multiply immensely. Our defence system reacts immediately and fights back the first assaulting wave efficiently. The immune system wins the first battle, but the war has just begun. In this body world-war, the enemy has three unfair advantages:

• First: The HIV virus has an incredible multiplication speed, so we get flooded with the virus very quickly.
• Second: The AIDS virus has a relatively imprecise reproduction, so together with the fact of a high multiplication rate, we get a high amount of mutants. This ongoing mutation makes the virus detection for our immune system pretty tough.
• Third: The main advantage of the enemy is, that it attacks directly immune cells and destroys them. That means according to the specific immune system that the T4-cells get reduced in first place, so the killer cells don't get any antigen data from them anymore – the specific immune system crashes. The same time HIV destroys the macrophages, so the unspecific immune system goes down as well. At the stage both immune systems lie on the ground, the full picture of AIDS will develop, and the patient will probably die on a disease, that he would even come across with a normal immune system.
/>/>

To know about the interventional possibilities we have with deoxycholic acid, we have to know in which phase of disease the patient is at the moment. In the first acute stage where the ill moments last for several weeks, we have local symptoms like lymph node swelling or infectious skin rashes that give us the option to boost our local immune defence with deoxycholic acid. Some few cases were reported, where DCA showed up to be a profound cure for these symptoms. In the following symptom free stage that lasts for two to fifteen years (or in few cases forever?) we deal with a chronic state. There is no anchor for the DCA activation as we have no local focus. This way DCA treatment gives no sense, and there is no reason to assume that it would stop the diminishing of the T helper cells from about 1000 per microlitre blood down to 20. The closer we get to the last stage of AIDS, the less macrophages we can count in our bloodstream. In the end there is nothing DCA could activate, as the unspecific immune system is destroyed by then.

So what is the conclusion? If we are dealing with accompanying diseases of the AIDS syndrome in the first and second stage (that lay in the DCA spectrum), we have a chance to cure them with a DCA treatment. The positive results which were reported from doctors were successful treatment of lymph node swellings (fresh ones), Kaposi´s sarcoma in the beginning, lymphadenopathy syndrome (LA, AIDS-related-complex (ARC) and generalised virus infections as encephalitis. Further we can assume the DCA will affect also other sub-infections with local inflammations as warts and herpes that evolve by the side. Deoxycholic acid is totally helpless to cure diseases that happen in the third stage as mycosis, pneumonia, protozoa infections. There are not enough macrophages to be activated and the types of these illnesses are mostly not in the indicational spectrum of DCA. How for deoxycholic acid touches the HIV virus itself – that's a good question weather to know.  
 

Angina

This is an inflammation of the tonsils and their surroundings, mostly caused by bacteria (often streptococci), sometimes also viral. If somebody has a lot of trouble with angina, the still applied method to cure this state is to remove the tonsils. From the immunological point of view it is a bad idea, cause they seem to be a local immunity centre.

Deoxycholic acid works excellent in the cure of angina, the healing starts only about 6 hours after the first dose of DCA. Very important is to start the cure immediately at the first day of the inflammation. Afterwards the activation of the macrophages gets heaps more difficult, as the inflammation herd gets too alkaline from the pus. Then only a gradual healing is possible.  
 

Cancer

As an introduction I will present an interesting statistical fact that couldn't be interpreted sufficiently till now. Practical findings show that vulnerability to cancer differs along the life pathway quite a bit. When we are born, our cancer resistance is pretty low up to the age of about 18 months. Then it is very high up to puberty where there is a small setback. When we are adults the cancer resistance is normally pretty good, and slowly declines with the raise of our age. From the DCA point of view one interpretation is obvious. A baby has no intestinal flora, and therefore no DCA production till about 18 months, when it starts to crawl around and collect bacteria from the environment. The child has a healthy DCA induced unspecific immune system till puberty, where antagonist sexual hormones obstruct parts of the DCA activation of the macrophages. Then as an adult the state of the body is stabilised, and only the normal aging process with a slower regeneration of the cells can break down immunity.

Cancer is simply said a container term for quickly growing tumour focus in the body that

 [ send green star]

Cancer is simply said a container term for quickly growing tumour focus in the body that produces metastasis. It is a difficult indication for the acute therapy with DCA, but a possible one. We can assume that each day cancer cells grow in our body, but they are eliminated very quickly and quietly with the force of our unspecific immune system. I have to emphasize that macrophages seem to possess the capacity to detect every cell that doesn't fit any more in the structure of our body. The cancer cells start only to be a problem when this balance of genesis and destruction is disturbed by one of the following causes:

• The amount of cancer cells raises rapidly as a result of an exogenous reason as radioactive radiation or toxins in our environment.
• The patient has a genetically higher disposition for cancer
• The hormone system is in imbalance caused by reasons like constant high stress (raise of corticoids)  - in consequence the function of the DCA activation of the unspecific immune system is lower.
• The DCA production is very low. Medical publications show that nearly all cancer patients have a bad composition of the intestinal flora – a so called dysbacteria.
/>/>/>

In combination of several causes (or sometimes only because of one cause) the weakened unspecific immune system cant handle the growing number of cancer cells any more – we get the clinical picture of cancer.

If we simplify once again our look at a tumour, we find a pile of degenerated cells that behave in a certain way as inflammations. They build up local foci and have a sour surrounding around them, so two main requirements for a DCA treatment are fulfilled. The experience with treatments of cancer show that DCA really can heal up tumours in our body. But in many cases the treatment is obstructed by one of the following issues. Many patients suffer on alkalosis (the blood gets more alkaline) that makes the activation of the DCA molecule more difficult. In general the tumours tend to be less sour and active after a chemical or radiation therapy, and this way they are more difficult to be detected. And in most cases the tumours we deal with have grown for a while, and are less sour than in the beginning. The mass of a tumour tissue that can be "eaten up" by the immune system is limited as well. If it is too big, an operation seems to be necessary.

But in spite of all the problems named above some sweeping results were reached by using DCA for cancer therapy. Some cancer types could be healed completely, and the patients were so thankful for the cure that some of them are the most devoted collaborators in the DCA project. In the meanwhile about 200 cases of breast cancer have been succesfully treated in Czech Republic. The logic of the mechanism of the unspecific immune system activation makes it sensible to try DCA in these cases, where spontaneous healings of cancer were reported. This is known in cases of cancer in the kidneys, the lymph nodes, the genitals and in connection with melanomas and neuroblastomas. On the other side there are many shapes of cancer that DCA doesn't seem to affect at all. In this group we find tumours without localisation as leukaemia or tumours in alkaline spots of the body like the organs liver or lung.

After thirty years of practical experience with treatments of cancer with DCA the scientists came to a simple rule of thumb: " The person that has a sane gut flora, and is not exposed to a high dose of cancerogenic substances or rays, will not develop cancer."  
 

Chicken pox

Chicken pox represent a primary infection with the varicella zoster virus. DCA shows here once again how superb it ca be when healing fresh virus infections with a sour local focus. The duration of the diseases is cut down from two weeks to several days, two to three days with normal symptoms, afterwards only little dried up pustules.

There are enough meaningful results here to say that is an excellent indication for DCA. Important to know is the fact, that DCA should not be taken in the first two days of the disease if the patient wants an immunisation. If it is taken to early, the reaction of the unspecific immune system is too fast for the specific immune system that cant develop antibodies and build up an immunisation.  
 

Encephalitis and Meningitis

Inflammations of the encephalon (encephalitis) and the cerebral membrane (meningitis) can be caused in many different ways. Common ones are infections with viruses (ticks), with protozoa (bilharzia), but also with bacteria or other pathogenes.

DCA has a good, in some cases excellent effect if the inflammation has a viral origin. There are some cases of tick induced encephalitis where profound healing effects were reported. We assume as well a curing effect on cases with a bacterial origin.  
 

Herpes

 [ send green star]

Herpes

We are dealing in this case with the herpes simplex virus and can subdivide into the manifestation of subtype one that is normally found in the facial area, or subtype two that causes symptoms in the genital areas of our body.

Herpes is one of the best indications for the use of DCA in acute therapy. There are many reports about the stunning effect of deoxycholic acid in treatment of fresh herpes, some with series of experiments with up to 400 people (see also publications). The reactivity of herpes varies between 12 and 24 hours on the dividing line between the skin and the mucous membrane up to four days to if the herpes is directly in the mucosa.  
 

Middle ear (inflammation)

The causative agents of the inflammation of the middle ear (otitis media) are in most cases bacteria. Fresh infects react very well to a treatment with DCA, the pain disappears in 12 to 24 hours. The reactivity of otitis is comparable with the one of angina. But that means as well, that we only have a real chance to treat a fresh infection before pus builds up.

In this case also children were treated efficiently, the pain relieved overnight when the cure with DCA started in the evening. And by the side – we also have a report about the cure of an otitis of a dog. That is only logical if we know that all higher mammals have a DCA induced activation of the unspecific immune system.  
 

Neuritis

Neurits is a collective name for diverse symptoms of irritations and inflammations of the nervous system. The symptoms vary according to the origin, that can be for example virus infections (herpes, tick encephalitis) or results of mechanical causes (compression of nerves as a result of problems with intervertebral discs). Some of them like the trigeminus-neuritis can cause a lot of pain.

If we have a real inflammation of the nerves, deoxycholic acid can be an effective way to treat them. It is a good indication as all important prerequisites for the use of DCA are fulfilled. There are some reports about effective healings with deoxycholic acid. The same time it is very important to keep the cause of the disease in mind. It makes no sense to treat pain caused by a bad vertebrae with DCA.  
 

Pink eye and Stye

If we deal with infections and inflammations of the eye, we stumble first over two very common ones – the pink eye (conjunctivitis) and the stye (hordeolum). The have both different causes.

When we take a closer look at the stye, it is often caused by mechanical reasons or being too much in a draught. The stye seems to react well in the beginning, but wasn't investigated till now, as it is normally a short and harmless disease.

Conjunctivits has normally a different orign, often in the form of an infectious disease, sometimes also when being exposed to a lot of dust, especially when being allergic. It is not clear if the pink eye reacts to a treatment with DCA.  
 

Shingles

The symptoms of shingles are painful reactions in a muscular branch as well as a seed of a herpetic blisters, often followed by post herpetic pain syndromes. Shingles are caused by the varizella zoster virus that is identical with the pathogen of the chicken pox. In most cases it is a revival of a the virus we are carrying with us since childhood.

If we treat this illness with DCA at the very beginning, we woun´t get neuralgic pains. If we treat later, possible pain relieves and disappears soon, the blisters dry and pale in few days. It is possible to heal all the unpleasant symptoms of shingles within only two to five days – depending how early we start the treatment. There are clinical tests existing where highly significant healings were underdone on 60 patients.  
 

Tendosynovitis - tendovaginitis

In this cases we talk about local inflammations in areas of the tendons. They are pus free and build up local foci pretty suitable to react on a DCA treatment.

Treatment was undergone with inflammations of the tendons caused by stereotypical mechanical stress mostly in the wrists – like al lot of sewing, or students that stressed their writing hand. The effects of DCA were pretty good, even if there were only some cases reported. A complete healing of the pain occurs after about 24 to 36 hours after the cure starts – no matter how big the initial pain was.  
 

Urinary tract (inflammations)

Urinary tract (inflammations)

There are diverse inflammations of the urinary tract that are wery common, mostly induced when beeing exposed to cold weather. Women are more prone to them – simply because auf their phyical constitution, and also because of the actual fashion exposed belly (that can lead up to nephritis). We talk about diseases like cystitis, pyelitis or nephritis.

Mostly the germs are bacteria, sometimes viruses as well. As far as we start the cure with DCA in the very beginning of the illness, we go for a home match. The pain relieves after about one day (or overnight), if the urine was polluted, it purifies. The therapy with DCA has a high success rate. In a small study with 21 patients all cases could be cured with deoxycholic acid.  
 

Warts

Warts (verruca) are caused by a virus. The inflammation foci are in the end small benign tumours.

As long as the wart is in the growing phase, DCA works very well. But when the wart is fully grown, the focus looses its sour reaction and the activation of DCA is no longer possible. Therefore DCA doesn't work here any more. There are many successful cases reported from patients and doctors.  
 

Wounds

Wounds mean in this context simply mechanically injured skin and the tissues below. It was practically found out that DCA supports a quicker wound healing. It seem that the macrophages cooperate with granulation modulators and other mechanisms that are responsible for restoring processes of the body tissues.

If we use DCA, on one side the regeneration process seems to be quicker than usual – but this effect is only moderate. What is more important is the fact that we prevent an inflammation of the wound – or heal it, if it already has occurred. This effect can be so stunning, that a doctor handling operations in the dental area tried to put a patent on the treatment with DCA (see also publications page). We recommend to use DCA if an inflammation is going to start, not from the beginning as a prevention, that we use the momentary capacities of the body in first case.  
 

The following list contains important scientific publications that describe the mechanism of the activation of the unspecific immune system with DCA - and as well the practical use of deoxycholic acid as a medicament. Among them you will find clinical tests as well as small reports and new findings in theory.  

1) The discovery of the so called pH-jump of the DCA molecule. 
Vlcek B., Reif A., Budsky F.: Toxicity of deoxycholate at pH below 7.3 as potential cancerostatic property, Experientia 26, No.7, 776-778 (1970)

2) Practical findings, that patients with cancer have a low DCA level. First reports about a "undefined" immunostimulating role of DCA. 
Vlcek B., Reif A., Seidlova B.: Evidence of the participation of deoxycholate in cancer immunity, Zeitschrift für Naturforschung 26, No.5, 419-424 (1971)

3) Therapy of chronical viral inflammations with DCA. 
Vlcek B., Chýle P.: Therapy of chronic viral affections with DCA, Advances in Antimicrobial and Antineoplastic Chemotherapy, Vol. I/1, 379, Urban & Schwarzenberg, München (1972)

4) First stunning healing effects with virus based diseases. 
Vlcek B.: Deoxycholic acid as a potential cancerostatic and antiviral factor, Advances in Antimicrobial and Antineoplastic Chemotherapy, Vol. II/1, 145-147, Urban & Schwarzenberg, München (1972)

5) Description of a fast regression of herpes in 13 cases. 
Chyle P., Vlcek B.: Therapeutic effect of DCA in chronic viral affections, Advances in Antimicrobial and Antineoplastic Chemotherapy, Vol. I/1, Avicenum, 379f (1972)

6) Further indications for the use of DCA in curing viral and bacterial infections and some types of autoimmune diseases. 
Vlcek B.: Potentiation of the immune response with DCA, Praktický Lékar 52, 326-330 (1972)

7) Very fast regression of herpes zoster in many cases (statistic significance) 
Brana J., Healing herpes zoster with deoxycholic acid, Lecture on the 10th pharmacologic conference in Krakow, Poland, XI (1973)

8) Presentation and lectures on a congress in Prague 
Vlcek B. Perspektivy steroidních imunopromotorú, (Lecture on the 23rd Pharmacological Days in Prague), Cs. Fysiol. 23, Nr. 4, 371-372 (1974).

9) Shortage of the healing process of herpes to an average of 2-2,5 days - found in 47 cases. 
Chyle M., Chyle P.: DCA in therapy of herpes labialis, Cas. Lek. ces. 114, 1226-1229 (1975)

10) The course of hepatocirrhosis was significantly eased in

For the first time in the world, on December 7, 2007 we publicly shared our observational data from the treatment of 118 cancer patients with DCA. In March 2008 we updated our data from treating over 175 patients.

As of August 2008, we have treated over 265 cancer patients with DCA.

Results of the analysis of our latest data are very similar to our two earlier reports.

We continue to see responses to DCA treatment in a variety of cancers including but not limited to lung, brain, colon, breast, ovary and pancreas. While we cannot comment on the cancer- specific response rates with confidence due to the relatively low numbers, our overall positive response rate continues to be between 60 – 70%. A positive response can be in the form of tumour shrinkage, cancer marker reduction, blood test improvement, symptomatic improvement, disease stabilization or a combination of any of these. In 30 - 40% of our patients we have not seen a response to treatment which is similar to our previous experience. This group includes patients whose disease progresses in spite of DCA treatment as well as patients where we are uncertain of the response to DCA treatment. Note that our reported response rate is not directly comparable to published response rates for chemotherapy and other standard cancer treatments.

Due to the consistently similar results of our latest analyses to the previous updates in December 2007 and March 2008, we have decided to present some case reports of our therapies instead of a complete observational data update. If our data starts to show significant differences from our last update, we will post our new findings.

The case reports presented here are not necessarily chosen based on the best responses to treatment but are a mix of our earlier experiences, variation in responses and tumor types, and combination therapies.

The purpose of sharing these case reports on our website is to reach as wide an audience as possible with the hope that it may give support and encouragement to other cancer patients and health care providers everywhere. These case reports are for information only and should not be used as a guide to self medicate. We plan to update these with new cases regularly.
