“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
The key word here, though, is “probably.”
Two years ago, I blogged about a promising new drug that held out hope for a major breakthrough in the treatment of many forms of cancer. It’s called dichloroacetate, or DCA for short. Two trials have been completed at the University of Alberta. Also, clinical trials in patients with solid tumors that have failed standard therapies, as well as in patients with malignant brain tumors have begun.
Desperate people, however, can not and will not wait for the formal clinical trials to be completed, published, reviewed, and submitted to governmental authorities for approval. They don’t have the luxury of time. And, thanks to the miracle of the internet, people are finding out about DCA, and are self-administering their own treatment programs.
Forums, blogs, and journals have sprung up across the web to bring the needed information to families who are willing to grasp at any available hope. Normally, I would suspect these people would be ripe prey for a con artist, and a healthy skepticism of generally anecdotal evidence would be called for. But, what impresses me the most is that these folks who are blogging their experience are not doing so to make money. They are offering no advertising, nor selling a product. They seem to be motivated only by their desire to share their experience, and to pass along any helpful information that they discover.
I don’t know how long it will take before the FDA will approve DCA for use in cancer treatment. At this point, however, it really doesn’t seem to matter. People are taking the matter into their own hands, and their reported results are truly remarkable.

Care to tell us what it is?
Not really.
I am not a doctor. People who have cancer or know people who have cancer can get very beaten down and depressed and desperate.
I don’t want to say something that causes a person to make some bad judgements.
Don't offer something you're not prepared to offer.
When you claim to know the cure for cancer and then don't care enough to share it, that makes you an asshat.
I could point you to the abstracts, but since your vocabulary is limited to the “asshat” arena, I doubt you would have much success reading them.
Give it a try. You claimed you knew something I don't. But I just hear crickets chirping each time I ask you to back it up. If the hat fits wear it, otherwise come clean and share what you know.
I was just about to FReepmail you something else about it, but you seem to be stuck in the “jerk” mode, and I have better things to do...
You know, I’d be interesting in knowing about this cure for cancer too.
Please give us more info.
But you or I or my friend will probably never get it. You can’t patent a natural substance. If you can’t patent it, you can’t make any big bucks on it.
I've heard that all my life and let me tell you something, pay such claims no attention if you want to live. Healthy living is important as a preventative measure but is of little curative value.
It was pulled because it was a PRIVATE EMAIL and you decided to blab it anyways.
You’re having alot of trouble getting with the program here.
Don’t bother replying to me. Ever.

Imagine that irony: Pharmaceutical companies love profits and love spending hundreds of millions on lobbying -- but hate curing diseases cheaply. Imagine that . . .
