Cure For Cancer- No one cares?
saw this on a facebook note... it isnt sourced... maybe someone can find the orig?
Alberta School Cured Cancer and Nobody Cares. Why?
Scientists may have cured cancer last week.
Yep.
So, why haven't the media picked up on it?
Here's the deal. Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada found a cheap and easy to produce drug that kills almost all cancers. The drug is dichloroacetate, and since it is already used to treat metabolic disorders, we know it should be no problem to use it for other purposes.
Doesn't this sound like the kind of news you see on the front page of every paper?
The drug also has no patent, which means it could be produced for bargain basement prices in comparison to what drug companies research and develop.
Scientists tested DCA on human cells cultured outside the body where it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells, but left healthy cells alone. Rats plump with tumors shrank when they were fed water supplemented with DCA.
Again, this seems like it should be at the top of the nightly news, right?
Cancer cells don't use the little power stations found in most human cells - the mitochondria. Instead, they use glycolysis, which is less effective and more wasteful.
Doctors have long believed the reason for this is because the mitochondria were damaged somehow. But, it turns out the mitochondria were just dormant, and DCA starts them back up again.
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.
Here's the big catch. Pharmaceutical companies probably won't invest in research into DCA because they won't profit from it. It's easy to make, unpatented and could be added to drinking water. Imagine, Gatorade with cancer control.
So, the groundwork will have to be done at universities and independently funded laboratories. But, how are they supposed to drum up support if the media aren't even talking about it?
All I can do is write this and hope Google News picks it up. In the meantime, tell everyone you know and do your own research.
Just so you also know, we have a cure for aids (rocher) the same company who makes actutane (acne medication) may have been the inventor. It will not be released for at least the next 50 years due to a patent and the fact that aids relief won't generate profits. FUCK AMERICA!
yea I'd actually like to see this sourced. a note on facebook is hardly newsworthy.

Ahh, the corporate world of pharmaceutical companies. Think of how much money they make off aids and cancer drugs, gazzlions! What use would a cure be, it would be a one time cost. Return customers are the best!
Link to official report from university of alberta
New Scientist Article
If they did release this the world would get over populated and the old will get older........natural selection, let Darwin do his thing.

I read about this in January, but I read they haven't tested it on humans yet.

Cancer is old age. Deal with it. The human body has to die some how.

| The University of Alberta�s DCA Research Team is set to launch clinical trials on humans in the spring of 2007 pending government approval. Knowing that thousands of cancer patients die weekly while waiting for a cure, Dr. Michelakis and his team are working at accelerated speed, condensing research that usually takes years into months. Fundraisers at the University of Alberta are determined to raise the money to allow this next phase of research to begin. Once Health Canada grants formal approval, the University of Alberta�s Research Team will begin testing DCA on patients living with cancer. Results with regards to the safety and efficacy of treatment should be known late this year. |

How much would you pay for this treatment?
i geev u 2 dolla!
I think many people mistake "treatment" for "cure"

There's a huge difference in treating a few cells isolated from the host, and trying to treat a body as a whole. Is tis chemical safe to inject in the quantities needed to treat a whole body? Does it have any effects on other complicated body systems like the nervous, renal or lymphatic system?
Researchers recently 'teleported' a single particle from one end of a lab to the other, but we're a long way from Star Trek transporters.
There's a reason drugs take years of R&D to develop.
So i looked up the actual article from the researchers and the abstract states:
"The unique metabolic profile of cancer (aerobic glycolysis) might confer apoptosis resistance and be therapeutically targeted. Compared to normal cells, several human cancers have high mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsim) and low expression of the K+ channel Kv1.5, both contributing to apoptosis resistance. Dichloroacetate (DCA) inhibits mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK), shifts metabolism from glycolysis to glucose oxidation, decreases DeltaPsim, increases mitochondrial H2O2, and activates Kv channels in all cancer, but not normal, cells; DCA upregulates Kv1.5 by an NFAT1-dependent mechanism. DCA induces apoptosis, decreases proliferation, and inhibits tumor growth, without apparent toxicity. Molecular inhibition of PDK2 by siRNA mimics DCA. The mitochondria-NFAT-Kv axis and PDK are important therapeutic targets in cancer; the orally available DCA is a promising selective anticancer agent."
I really love how several human cancers turns into ALL HUMAN CANCER.
