And this is why you haven't heard of it 'till now:

Answer 1

You'll note if you read the article carefully that it never says anywhere that it makes cancer go away. All it says is that a test on rats caused their tumors to shrink. Which is not the same as a cure, ace.

Of course, if you're happier believing that a secret conspiracy of drug companies and every doctor in the world wants you to have cancer, then go right ahead. Just know that there are professionals who can help you achieve a more healthy mental state (at least, if you don't believe they're in on the conspiracy too).

Answer 2

It's irresponsible to decide that any drug, however seemingly promising like dichloroacetate (DCA) is a dead lock cure based on a few studies and equally irresponsible to assume it is being kept secret due to some nefarious profit motive.

Even if worked as well as this expectation in some patients, it still might be totally ineffective in others. Some tumors, for example, have poor blood supplies and the drug might not be able to reach and kil all the cancer cells which would thwart a cure. Others may not be able to tolerate the side effects and there are some. And some tumors may prove resistant or become resistant to this.

No one is trying to keep this a secret. I have an RSS feed for cancer research and it's hardly been unknown. The research is still in progress and some news sources may not think there is enough to print yet.

After all, giving what might be false hope in claiming it as a cancer cure-all could harm people.

Answer 3

I just found out about it today and wanted to post it. But I see someone has already done that. I wish there were more people visiting this though.

For those who do not believe there is a conspiracy, of course there is one. 4 people that I knew personally died of cancer.
Right now the treatment costs are huuuge. Chemotherapy, vitamins, medicine for nausea, machines used by people with cancer in hospitals. My friend had to have his leg cut because he had a cancerous tumor there. The cost for his "new leg" was $75,000. Think about how many people have cancer and what are the costs daily for medicine and machinery. Billions and billions of dollars.

Now what are the costs for the new drug? $2 a pill for couple of weeks. How many companies will go out of business? Do you really think they want to close they multi billion dollar company?
Why don't the new pills receive more support? They would have tried it on people already, they just don't have enough money. Even if it doesn't work out, don't you think it is worth a try. I mean it's cancer!
They don't want it to come out on the market.
Also, it has been used on people before and no one is going to develop any cancer or die from it.

Answer 4

Hate,

You are a complete and utter moron!!! I think I speak for most people that hmmm their is a conspiracy. Do you really think for a min. are govt would allow such cures for cancer or any other leading cause of death? Please, this gov't and our country is based on power, control, and MONEY, they don't give a damn about you or me. Many scientists have gone missing after finding significant findings for cures, that's how bad they don't want a cure to come about. What are Gov't will except is a Patented drug that might slow the death rate of cancer, why ? b/c it will probably cost a fortune and you will have to take it forever probably, you see it's all about money, not you or me. They don't care about you. When will these Right Wing neocons, sean hannity lovers ever open their eyes?

Answer 5

Hate... if cancer is shrinking not growing, you LIVE. DUH.

Also... this is insane. Why hasn't this been on CNN or any of the other 10 news channels. They just had a two hour special on those girls that were in a fight on the internet, but there is possibly a CURE FOR CANCER and no one is on it? Bill Gates or someone will fund it.

Answer 6

Interesting study, but human cell-cultures are not humans, and neither are rats.
Actually, in mice and other rodents DCA CAUSES kidney and liver cancer.

So I'd say this needs a lot more studies.

Answer 7

The molecule, dichloroacetate (DCA) reactivates mitochondria in cancer cells. The mitochondria then kill the cancer cells by apoptosis. Cancer cells have defective mitochondria, which prevents apoptosis, but reactivating the mit. allows for apoptosis. All cancer cells have this problem, so DCA may work for all cancers.

Ya after my mom died in july of 06"

Answer 9

Updated January 23, 2007
Investigators at the University of Alberta have recently reported that a drug previously used in humans for the treatment of rare disorders of metabolism is also able to cause tumor regression in a number of human cancers growing in animals. This drug, dichloroacetate (DCA), appears to suppress the growth of cancer cells without affecting normal cells, suggesting that it might not have the dramatic side effects of standard chemotherapies.

At this point, the University of Alberta, the Alberta Cancer Board and Capital Health do not condone or advise the use of dichloroacetate (DCA) in human beings for the treatment of cancer since no human beings have gone through clinical trials using DCA to treat cancer. However, the University of Alberta and the Alberta Cancer Board are committed to performing clinical trials in the immediate future in consultation with regulatory agencies such as Health Canada. We believe that because DCA has been used on human beings in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials of metabolic diseases, the cancer clinical trials timeline for our research will be much shorter than usual.

Dichloroacetate or DCA is a potentially new anti-cancer agent by Johnson Smith
Published 01/25/2007 in All Cancers , Daily news , Research | Rating:

Canadian researcher Evangelos Michelakis, associate professor of medicine at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, has stumbled upon something quite remarkable -- a potentially new anti-cancer agent called dichloroacetate, or DCA.

DCA is nothing new -- it's long been used for treatment of rare metabolic disorders -- but using it to fight cancer puts an entirely new spin on the potential of this drug.

"This is one of the most exciting results I've ever had," Michelakis said. "But I can't be overenthusiastic until it works on a human."

Michelakis and his colleagues have successfully used DCA to shrink human lung, breast, and brain tumors in both lab rats and test tubes. And while this type of research may not ordinarily generate a lot of excitement, this specific study is creating a buzz because DCA has been safely used in humans for decades, without adverse side effects.

"One of the big concerns about drugs is that they can harm people but we already know this drug is safe," Michelakis says. "It doesn't even affect normal cells."

One of the fundamental premises of cancer biology is that mitochondria -- the energy producing units of cells -- are permanently damaged by cancer. What DCA does is revive the mitochondrial function, encouraging the death of cancer cells.

The overwhelming hope is that DCA will move right to human testing. But the overwhelming fear is that it will not -- because of economic reasons. There is no longer a patent on DCA so it is not owned by any one company. With little chance of one group making a large profit, there may be no incentive for pharmaceutical companies to invest in research.

Sadly, this drug -- that appears to work remarkably well -- may never benefit cancer patients. All because no one stands to make billions of dollars from it.

In recent experiments at the University of Alberta[5], dichloroacetate has also been shown to regulate and restore normal metabolic functions in damaged mitochondria. This has proved particularly interesting in cancer cells, which do not self-terminate upon detecting abnormalities due to damaged metabolic functions. Tiny doses of dichloroacetate shrank breast, brain, and lung cancers in human cancer cell lines and in rats.[6][7] Although this indicates that DCA could some day be used in humans as a therapy against cancer, clinical trials of the effect of DCA on humans with cancer have not started yet.[8] An article in New Scientist magazine suggests that clinical trials may require public funding, as the lack of a patent reduces the incentive for any company to invest in research.[8] Original article appeared in the journal, Cancer Cell.[9]

I can give you a cure for cancer.......... Try Jesus Christ.
