The University of Alberta Discovery (possible cure for Big C)

DCA Research Information ^ | 15/3/2007

Well, that’s what I’m asking. What research has been done? The article wasn’t “reporting” per se, but a five-year-old university bulletin promising future research on the therapeutic possibilities of DCA.

I’m a layman with passing interest in science, not a sufferer looking to buy crap on line and start guzzling it. Previously, I’ve been payed to blog cerebral palsy issues, and in that capacity acquired a scientific yen. That’s all.

Patients sign waivers quite frequently.

Patients sign waivers quite frequently.

And the law suits still happen in spite of them.

Like I said, nothing stops that hypothetical 75 year old from going out today and obtaining DCA on his own, reasearching the internet to find what "somebody-or-other" out there says is a safe and effective dose and self- administering it.

~40 Years ago you may remember a substance which is known as laetrile (aka vitamin B-17), a cyano-releasing compound which one could obtain from apricot pits. It was billed at that time as cure for cancer.

"The Rise and Fall of Laetrile" by Benjamin Wilson, M.D. (as reported in Quackwatch)

No one is stopping anyone from obtaining apricot pits for one's personal purposes of comsuming them to obtain a source of laetrile, despite what largely proved to be specious claims surrounding the laetrile therapy derived from them.

There is no incentive for any physician or drug manufacturing company to assume the risks and obligations of compounding, manufacturing, marketing and prescribing a substance for which no credible well-controlled clinical study data exists.

FReegards!
