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! |
For an interesting discussion about a revolution against the pharmaceutical companies check out this link...

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. |

Aaaannd I think we may have found why nobody really cares. Good job gang! |
Most cancer-treating methodologies in development today have not yet been tested on humans, yet there has been plenty of press coverage... |

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. |
