Answer 1

No it's a scam.

Apparently dichloroacetate has shown promise in rats but hasn't undergone clinical trials in humans. But the person who runs the site you link to sells it anyway, to people desperate for a cancer cure.

Read this article; it describes the studentprintz site as a '' dubious advertising site for BuyDCA.com, where a chemist named Jim Tassano sells to desperate cancer patients non-pharmaceutical grade and non-FDA-approved dichloroacetate, the small molecule chemotherapeutic agent with an interesting and unusual mechanism of action that has shown promise in rat models of cancer but as yet has not undergone clinical trials in humans to determine if it is effective in cancer.''

Here's the whole article:
