Wow...
Researchers at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada have cured cancer last week, yet there is a little ripple in the news or in TV. It is a simple technique using very basic drug. The method employs dichloroacetate, which is currently used to treat metabolic disorders. So, there is no concern of side effects or about their long term effects. This drug doesn’t require a patent, so anyone can employ it widely and cheaply compared to the costly cancer drugs produced by major pharmaceutical companies. Canadian scientists tested this dichloroacetate (DCA) on human’s cells; it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells and left the healthy cells alone. It was tested on Rats inflicted with severe tumors; their cells shrank when they were fed with water supplemented with DCA. The drug is widely available and the technique is easy to use, why the major drug companies are not involved? Or the Media interested in this find? - Scientists cure cancer, but no one takes notice
To be fair, I didn't find this article till today so I'm sure as it becomes more viral we'll see some of the American journalists start to look this one up. And I'm not that well versed in Science & Biology to be able to explain or figure out this process in any major detail. However, with the current issues existing in our medical and health care systems it's really telling why "big pharma" isn't saying much about this.
