It seems that Canadian doctors have found a cure for cancer. They are using dichloroacetate on rats that had severe tumors, and it destroyed cancer cells while leaving normal ones alone.
Pharmaceutical companies are not willing to sell the drug since it has no patent, and they cannot make profit off of it. I can see their reason behind this, but I think curing something that's been bugging humanity for such a while and with such an impact, money should not prevent us.
Canadian scientists tested dichloroacetate (DCA) on human’s cells; it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells and left the healthy cells alone. It was tested on Rats inflicted with severe tumors; their cells shrank once they were fed with water supplemented with DCA. The drug is widely available and is easy to use, so why the major drug companies aren’t involved? Or the Media thinking about this find?
Pharmaceutical companies are not investing in this cancer research because DCA method cannot be patented
Researchers at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada have cured cancer, yet there is a little ripple in the news or in TV. It’s a simple technique using very basic drug. The method employs dichloroacetate, which is currently used to treat metabolic disorders. So, there isn’t any concern of side effects or about their long-term effects.
This drug doesn’t require a patent, so anyone can employ it widely and cheaply compared to the costly cancer drugs made by major pharmaceutical companies.
In human bodies there is a natural cancer fighting Mitochindria, the powerhouse/engine of the human cell, however they need to be triggered to work. Scientists used to think these mitochondria cells were damaged and thus ineffective against cancer. So they used to focus on glycolysis, that is less effective in curing cancer and more wasteful. The drug manufacturers focused on this glycolysis method to fight cancer. This DCA however doesn’t rely on glycolysis instead on mitochondria; it triggers the mitochondria which in turn fights the cancer cells.
The side effect of this could it be also reactivates a process called apoptosis. You see, mitochondria contain an all-too-important self-destruct button that can not 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 switched off, the body produces less lactic acid, so the bad tissue around cancer cells doesn’t break down and seed new tumors.
Pharmaceutical companies are not investing in this research because DCA method cannot be patented, without a patent they can’t make money, like they are doing with their AIDS Patent. Because the pharmaceutical companies won’t develop this, the article says other independent laboratories should start producing this drug and do more research to confirm all the above findings and produce drugs. All the groundwork can be achieved in collaboration with the Universities, who will be glad to assist in such research and may develop an effective drug for curing cancer.
I think there would also need to be tests on humans to see if it works. Then they would have to be studied for long term side effects. But the fact that they don't use it because they will make no money shows just how greedy some people can be.

Dichloroacetate has been used as medicine for decades. People at the University of Alberta have already done testing on it, and it's safe for humans.
i would like to see a link to a medical journal with this information please.
scrolling to the bottom, I'm reading "The latest DCA research information" now.
Update:
In the 5 patients tested, the drug took 3 months to reach blood levels high enough to alter the tumor's metabolism. At those levels, there were no significant adverse effects. However, at some of the higher doses tested, DCA caused nerve malfunction
i can just hear it now. DCA may cause vomiting, headaches, sore feet, swelling of the tongue, an outbreak of pimples, an excessive need to pick your nose. Do not take DCA if you are taking any other medication as this may cause your breasts to grow and your elbows to shrink. lolz etc...
Researchers emphasize that use of DCA by patients or physicians, supplied from for-profit sources or without close clinical observation by experienced medical teams in the setting of research trials, is not only inappropriate but may also be dangerous.

It appears the author of the article glossed over that little bit.
Seriously though, do a little research before posting some anti-pharmaceutical ********.

Nice editing. Next time mention that the "nerve malfunction" merely consisted of numbing of "toes and fingers".

What do you think?
Here's the article about it.

This had nothing to do with jaysuss.
I respect and love Jaysuss very much, but bacon fakin' leaf people have made this discovery.
True, though I have no idea how close rats are to humans, so we need to test it on a human before we can entirely confirm it.

After I'm gone, your Earth will be free to live out its miserable span of existance, as one of my satellites, and that's how it's going to be.

I don't think so, but I don't think rat cells are very much different than human cells.
Edit: Could Steve Jobs's death been prevented if we had the drug in America?
Also what about side effects?
