113. If I'm understanding the article correctly that's not really true of at least some cancer cells.

They live mostly by glycolysis and the mitochondria are not functioning or at least not functioning correctly. The dichloroacetate supposedly makes the mitochodria function correctly again which allows the cells normal self desctruct mechanisms to work again.
