Is that what Paul Harvey was talking about this morning, when he said the treatment should be available in three years?

OOps. That won’t get much air time here. Too many pharmaceutical companies and doctors with too much to lose.

Apparently the DCA cannot be patented, and so they are having trouble coming up with funding for the clinical trials.

Don’t know but it sure sounds promising. I would think the key factor in testing will be any toxic effects. Of course conventional therapies are so toxic now. But chlorine compounds are generally not tolerated well by the body.

Exactly. But if it works it will be hard to stop even by entrenched medicine.

Table salt seems not so bad as long as the quantities involved aren't extreme...

This is absolute bullshit! The Canadian Cancer Society is not a drug company! It has many millions of dollars as well as other related charities. They can afford to fund the clinical trials.

But without excessive amounts of high velocity, it's just not as fun, don't you know...

I did not pull that statement out of my ear. If you would bother to do a search, you would find several writers who know about this situation, not me. No need to be vulgar and disrespectful, Bill.

Please save the moonbattery for DU. Certainly the drug companies won’t finance trials as there is no return. They will not, however, try to block it. There are plenty of other health issues to for them to research and make money from creating treatments.

There are plenty of cancer research non profits out there to foot the bill. That’s why these groups were created - right?
