Quote: Scientists may have cured cancer last week. Yep. So, why haven't the media picked up on it? Here's the deal. Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada found a cheap and easy to produce drug that kills almost all cancers. The drug is dichloroacetate, and since it is already used to treat metabolic disorders, we know it should be no problem to use it for other purposes. Doesn't this sound like the kind of news you see on the front page of every paper? The drug also has no patent, which means it could be produced for bargain basement prices in comparison to what drug companies research and develop. Scientists tested DCA on human cells cultured outside the body where it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells, but left healthy cells alone. Rats plump with tumors shrank when they were fed water supplemented with DCA. Here is a link to the original forum and topic: Click.The arguments and comments on the topic are quite intriguing. Although it does go on to say that this drug hasn't fully been tested yet, it makes you wonder if we would ever actually hear about it? I do believe it's true what they say - the pharms industry doesn't want us to be healthy. How could they make money out of healthy people? rolleyes

hmm interesting...i looked at that website [for the most part] and i agree that if u have cancer and ur going to die soon anyway, it would be best to try it. that way people in the future can kno if itll work for them or not.
i also think that it is ridiculous for the drug companies to keep medicines like this away from the public to make money. well idk how much cancer treatment costs and im sure its a lot, but wouldnt they make more money if they sold this cancer-curing pill, keep people alive and odds are they'll get sick and need to buy more meds anyway than if they let the cancer patients die? i just wish that they had the best in mind for the people and their health, not money.

It just reminds me of the Dead Kennedys lyrics in Trust Your Mechanic:
Doctor says you need surgery now
Feelin' good 'til the side ******** up something else
You're ensnared by the medicine man
Paying up the a**
Again and again
Gonna rip you off
A slow death dependant on drugs and round the clock care, versus a cheap, unpatented cure. Which is more profitable? rolleyes

It's a really easy to understand idea Marquette girl. The goverment gets more and so does hospitals if they keep people on kimo. So does the goverment want to stop something that racks in alot of money. The goverment has a big control thing. Like when Brazil found an alternate fuel that used sugar cane. And was alot alot alot stronger than fossil fuels. But America didn't want them to get in the way of their profit so we pumped the tariff up so high the fuel would be almost twice as much as gas.

Interesting.
From what I've learned about cancer, it's basically just the DNA of your own cells being warped to the point where they grow uncontrollably.
But one must remember just because it works on one type of disorder doesn't mean it'll work on others.
They didn't even mention what kind of tumors they were. (Malignant or benign) If some of your cells have cancer, it may be true that you can get rid of them but there is always the chance that it'll start again. Cancer normally isn't an organic thing(though it can be argued that carcinogens are 'organic triggers), it's a mutation of the DNA.

I'm tired of people only caring about money!! There is MUCH more to life than money! Canada may also be waiting for the highest bidder for the medicine. Well I guess everyone else quite covered what I wanted to say...all I've got to say is damn I hope they truely release that medicine!

Razzle Dazzle he already said they don't have a patent on it so if America wanted to they could take the idea. They can take what they want anyways. Also it's already used on other things so it's already manufactured and ready.
