A cheap and safe drug called DCA has been in use for years to treat certain metabolic disorders. It has now been shown that DCA kills most cancers by turning on the mitochondria inside the cancer cells, thus destroying their immortality, and causing them to die. The unique feature of cancer cells, that energy is produced in the whole cell and not the mitochondria, is the achilles' heel of cancer cells. In tests at the University of Alberta, lung, brain, and breast cancers withered up and died, while healthy tissue was not affected.

The best part about DCA? There is no patent on it, meaning that big pharma has absolutely no control over its price. It is easy to manufacture, and at a small fraction of the price of chemotherapy drugs now in use.

Finally, a cure for cancer? The answer could very well be yes.

I wonder, if every person with cancer took part in the study, could they finish it before half are dead?

Also, if the drug isn't patented, who is going to put up the dough to get it through the FDA.

We should all know how our system in America works by now.

There isn't a profit in cures. Simple. America have the minds, money, and desire to eliminate any and all diseases but yet, our government doesn't group these minds together to solely find cures.

It's profitable to continue and allow human beings to die while pumping them with FDA approved medications and using expensive-insurance billing devices / procedures.

I do believe herbal cures are present but given it comes from natural resources thus, preventing unethical individuals to profit, the herbal debate will continue unchanged for the worst.

You don't need to type in that gigantic font. It's atrocious.

You don't even explain why there is no profit in curing people.
