From the archived source record
Unapproved New Drugs FDA reviewed your website at the Internet address www.northernhealthproducts.com in September 2016 and determined that you take orders there for the products DCA Cancer Treatment Kit (Sodium Dichloroacetate and Thiamine Vitamin BlL ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), and N-A-C (N-Acetyl L- Cysteine). Thiamine is the food that DA uses so it's important to supplement your treatment with Thiamine to avoid Thiamine Deficiency and possible neuropathy (which is a result of Thiamine Deficiency, not a side-effect of DCA)." This product page directly links to this website: [see original source] • "DCA Cancer Information" • "Representatives from the University of Alberta (UA) claim that it is possible to use DCA as a cure for various forms of cancer. DCA was marked as relatively non-toxic and therefore action may be taken to test it on people with cancer." ALA Alpha Lipoic Acid • "Chelation treatment is the removal of toxic heavy metals such as lead and mercury using a product called DMSA." • "DMSA alone can NOT enter the brain to remove toxic heavy metals. SH groups react directly with many poisons, including herbicides, drugs (acetaminophen), environmental pollutants such as carbon tetrachloride, microorganisms including E. coli and aflatoxin, and against heavy metals. Indirectly, NAC helps with detoxification by producing optimal amounts of GSH for conjugation reactions, making harmful compounds less toxic." "NAC is approved as a drug for use to prevent liver damage from acetaminophen overdose." 4. Thus, these drugs are misbranded within the meaning of section 502(f)(1) of the Act, in that their labeling fails to bear adequate directions for use [21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1)). The introduction of a misbranded drug into interstate commerce is a violation of section 301(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 331(a)].
