If I had cancer right now, I’d try it before the treatments I’ve seen

Pharmaceutical companies are not investing in this research because DCA method cannot be patented, and without a patent they cannot make money.

Lumber can't be patented, but people still make money providing it to those who want it.

I’ve always kept a tin foil hat in my back pocket for the theory that they’ve long discovered how to wipe cancer out but for the money wrt fundraising and grants for research etc. For me, I’d love to believe that this is available now given every time I turn around someone I know is diagnosed with some form of the big “C”.

I lost my father to it back in 2007 and there’s nothing I’d love more than for my kids to know their grandpa that much better. He was truly a great man.

The drug doesn’t require a patent, so anyone can employ it widely and cheaply compared to the costly cancer drugs

I work for a huge bioPharma and this doesn't surprise me AT ALL, even if that sounds like that slob Michael Moore.

More and more for health stuff I'm listening to hippies, and they're not ALL crazy.

This is so weird.

In human cells there is a natural cancer fighting organelle, the mitochondria, but it needs to be triggered in order to be effective.............

The above is pretty ridiculous, who ever wrote this really needs to take a high school biology course

Now you've done it. Any day now some tree is going to come along and file a lawsuit.

There is an Italian doctor who found a cure for cancer. No money in it. Baking soda, all cancers are fungi. Curable with baking soda.

The drug manufacturers focused on the glycolysis method to fight cancer.

WHAT?

This reactivation [of the cell cycle] is a process called apoptosis.

Uhh.....that....is....wrong.

Doesn't mean the point of the article is wrong, but these two points (and some others) is wrong.

Assuming an aspiring scientist finds a cure for cancer, where's the money in it for the drug companies? They stand to make more profit treating an illness than curing it; a captive audience so to speak. They need diseases to treat with their products, not a cure.

“In 2010, it was found that for human colorectal tumours grown in mice, under hypoxic conditions, DCA decreased rather than increased apoptosis, resulting in enhanced growth of the tumours.

“These findings suggest that at least in some cancer types DCA treatment could be detrimental to patient health, highlighting the need for further testing before it can be considered a safe and effective cancer treatment.”

“At sustained, higher doses(generally 25 mg/kg/day taken orally, or greater), there is increased risk of several reversible toxicities, especially peripheral neuropathy, neurotoxicity, and gait disturbance. Studies have also shown that it can be carcinogenic at high doses.”

First of all, the information about DCA as a possible treatment for cancer has been known for a number of years.

Secondly, you don’t need to have big pharma invest in a treatment in order for it to be viable. Go to this site and find out how patients are taking control of their own treatments using DCA.

In this age of government death panels and conflicting claims you must become an educated patient.

I recently lost a dear relative to cancer. Medicare refused to pay for some of the life extending drugs that she needed. Luckily, she had a rich boyfriend who would do anything for her.

Medicare would not even pay for her chemo because, at 75, they assessed that her survival did not warrant the expense.

Had it been me, I would have purchased the chemo drug as a lab grade organic chemical and dosed myself.

Obama’s Healthcare Deform is how he intends to kill off us Kulaks. No NKVD necessary; they just squeeze off the funds for areas of the country and demographics that don’t vote his way.

Don’t go quietly.

Of course the pharm companies are not interested, there is no money in it. But if the oncologists know about it, it will be used.

BS Cancer is not a fungi. It is your own body’s cells growing out of control.

BS Cancer is not a fungi. It is your own body’s cells mutated and growing out of control.
