It is well known in the medical community that chemotherapy treatments often kill patients. This recent news report from CTV Canadian Television is even more disheartening:

Video: Inexpensive Cancer Cure Discovered in Canada, But Big Pharmaceutical Companies Oppose

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

Thank you for your posted link. Funny, the reasons no one is testing to market DCA is the same reasons non-pharm supplements aren't tested (unless the study has been designed to fail such as the meta-analysis on vitamin E given to primarily dying patients -- lo and behold the patient died therefore vit E is dangerous!). There's no money in it for them.

I read an interesting article recently (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/08/090819110014.htm) about how to detect bias in clinical trials. The pharm companies really do a "snow" job on the public and the physicians they market to. I quote, "For example, trials with negative results – showing that a treatment doesn't work – may be less likely to be published than those showing that it does. And this can create a distorted view of the treatment's effectiveness when policy-makers have to decide on whether it is worthwhile."

[[You really think they are trying to cure cancer?]]

I don’t htink there is a cure- But you can’t deny that a great many people have gone into compelte remission thanks to drugs- As for me, I’m pretty tired of life really- and am not sure I’d opt for prolonging life even if I thought I might go into remission- so I’ve really got no dog in this fight- but there has been tremendous inroads made into fighting Cancer- and yes, you’re right- those companies who invested billions want ot recoup and gain profits, however, it is a worthy cause worth spending money on- Cancers today, that would have been an automatic early deathsentance years ago, are being successfully controlled with modern medicines, (and yes, most likely with complimentary natural care as well- but the stats are still quite preliminary as to hte effectiveness of natural care- but it sure wouldn’t hurt to try both at hte saem time if someoen wants the best possible chance)

The same crooked pharmaceutical lobby is in favour of Obamacare, since they will be given a free hand to fleece the public even more than the present.
