Cancer Cure? Dichloroacetate! Once again, another “cancer cure” article was brought to my attention via a social network. In this article, the author mentions that cancer cure has been found but is not given its rightful attention because it is bad business for pharmaceutical companies. Whether this is true or not, it is worth reading and looking into once again as people’s lives are in the balance. Read it and do further research.

Here is the article (c/o hubpages.com):

Canadian researchers find a simple cure for cancer, but major pharmaceutical companies are not interested.

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?

In human bodies there is a natural cancer fighting human cell, the mitochondria, but they need to be triggered to be effective. Scientists used to think that these mitochondria cells were damaged and thus ineffective against cancer. So they used to focus on glycolysis, which is less effective in curing cancer and more wasteful. The drug manufacturers focused on this glycolysis method to fight cancer. This DCA on the other hand doesn’t rely on glycolysis instead on mitochondria; it triggers the mitochondria which in turn fights the cancer cells.

The side effect of this is it also reactivates a process called apoptosis. You see, mitochondria contain an all-too-important self-destruct button that can’t be pressed in cancer cells. Without it, tumors grow larger as cells refuse to be extinguished. Fully functioning mitochondria, thanks to DCA, can once again die.

With glycolysis turned off, the body produces less lactic acid, so the bad tissue around cancer cells doesn’t break down and seed new tumors.

Pharmaceutical companies are not investing in this research because DCA method cannot be patented, without a patent they can’t make money, like they are doing now with their AIDS Patent. Since the pharmaceutical companies won’t develop this, the article says other independent laboratories should start producing this drug and do more research to confirm all the above findings and produce drugs. All the groundwork can be done in collaboration with the Universities, who will be glad to assist in such research and can develop an effective drug for curing cancer.

You can access the original research for this cancer here.

This article wants to raise awareness for this study, hope some independent companies and small startup will pick up this idea and produce these drugs, because the big companies won’t touch it for a long time.

What is Charles Tillman’s injury? Well, Chicago Bears defensive back Charles Tillman suffered a rib injury making a tackle in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings and had to be wheeled off the field on a stretcher.

According to game watchers, Minnesota’s Visanthe Shiancoe went high to catch a pass and Tillman and teammate Craig Steltz both went through the air to hit Shiancoe at about the same time.

Fans should be relieved to know that the injury is somewhat ambiguous and it doesn’t appear as if there is any type of paralysis fear.

5 to 6 hostages have been abducted as what is now famously called as the Wytheville Hostage. A gunman with explosives has taken people hostage at a post office in Wytheville but it is still unclear who he is or what his demands are.

No injury has been reported and it was said that the gunman has allowed the hostages to call their families to tell them that they are okay.

Out of the five people, three of the hostages were employees at the post office and two were said to be customers. One of the hostages is 41-year-old Jim Oliver, Jr. of Wytheville who was running an errand to the post office for the business when the gunman entered the post office.

The hostage situation at Wytheville VA started at about 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
