Yup, you heard me. Scientists have recently found a potential cure for cancer.

So in a nutshell, DCA works by reactivating the dormant mitochondria from cancer cells and thus triggers a 'self-destruct' mechanism killing the cells.

Now, to reiterate the editor's note, this does NOT mean you can expect to cure cancer by putting DCA in drinking water and sending it down the hatch. There have been therapies that have worked in animals but not in humans and research still needs to be done to come up with a legitamate cure.

Unfortunately, because DCA is cheap and unpatentable, it's an unprofitable endeavor so it's unlikely the media will even touch this. The only way to spread this news is by word of mouth.

Is this for ALL cancers?

If so, what a breakthrough.

Hope it cures [insert internal/external body part/organ] cancer, then.
Maybe lung cancer?

Not only is this totally awesome, but it's also sad knowing about how the pharmacies probably won't pick up on it.

If it really works, it should definitely be publicized. It's seriously disturbing how greedy many upper-class (and middle-class) people have become in this world (particularly here in America), and the ones in power are the worst of all. Not that I'm unpatriotic or anything, but sometimes I feel like making tracks for Canada.

Anyway, we've been looking for a cure for cancer so long now, I didn't think it would ever come...but maybe this is it.
