Canadian Scientists Cure Cancer... No One Notices?

[Toaster Hunter]

I find this article highly suspect. Any legitimate cancer cure would be all over the media. Also, mitochondria are not cells, but parts of cells that provide energy. If they are inactive, the person would be dead. They don't actually cure or destroy anything. I'm calling this BS.

Any links to the actual research results? : \

You guys are a year late when it comes to doubting this, so I think it's safe to say it wasn't that big of a deal.

Yeah, the saddest part of it all is that in the 70s a doctor, Dr. Joel Wallach, had done a large research on pollution after the minamata disaster and found that cancer can be easily evaded by taking small amounts of a mineral called selenium.

I know it's your first post and all.....but generally if something is old, don't necro it. Especially if it's no longer relevant

He is probably selling selenium so it is quite relevant to him.

Necro? Okay. I was just saying. I didn't think this article was that old because I had just recently seen it on Facebook and so I looked it up on google and this forum came up.

I am not selling anything...

Okay, my BS monitors are going off here.

Mine, too. This is the third "Oh shit, somebody discovers a cure for cancer AND THEY ARE IGNORED! For shame." material I've read. And all of them were for different people entirely. One of them apparently found a cure for cancer in the 90's and had been ignored until he finally got some attention several years ago.

Can any of you guess how much cancer has been stopped since several people have found the cure for it? Not by a lot? Not at all? Thank you, that is correct. And always it's the pharmaceutical companies that don't want it. I suppose they have some sort of allergy to money or something.

EDITL DAMN NECRO THREADS! Must. Check. Dates. Properly. Before. Posting.

oops! didn't look at the date of the OP

Okay, my BS monitors are going off here. Mitochondria are a structure within the cell, not a type of cell. Further, they're essentially the powerplant of the cell; if cancer patients had non-functioning mitochondria, they'd be dead long before the cancer did anything. I'm going to have to see a more reliable source on this before I believe anything.

Agreed. It doesn't matter if pharmaceutical companies could make money or not, you would see this in the news if it was legit.

Selenium has been ruined for me in anything but a humorous context ever since Evolution came out. To me it will always be the active ingredient in the Head and Shoulders enema that was inexplicably an arsenic equivalent to the aliens. Man, I need to watch that movie again now

I don't know, like everyone else has said, if this article was so much as published, it would be noticed, and assuming anyone thought it would be incredibly helpful, it would be more well-known.
There has to be a downside to this that we're not seeing

Here is a link to a video clip of a legitimate Canadian news service video discussing this discovery. So, those that want to pretend they know what they are talking about and how this article is somehow false, there ya go.

Sad this hasn't amounted to anything, it's been nearly two years since the effectiveness of DCA in treating cancer was discovered. Really starting to lose faith in the system as my father died a year and 10 months ago from cancer.

And people wonder why I rail on about what a sick fucked up system privatized healthcare is. In a socialized healthcare system, where people come ahead of money, we'd have jumped all over this. Too bad we'd rather make money by holding people's own lives hostage until they fork up the dough for a treatment.

...Canada's healthcare system is socialized.

Yes I realize that. It's kind of hard for a devoted liberal like myself to have not seen Michael Moore's documentary after all. My point was directed more towards the American capitalist system, one which I see being much slower to take up any treatment that isn't highly profitable.

"America, Love it or Leave it."

OT: Now, that I've gotten my political retort out of the way... I'm questioning the legitimacy of this this article... All they'd have to do is tell a news station and they'd get it pasted all over everything.

Actually, it's "America, love it or ***** about it on internet forums but not actually have the balls to leave because it's better than 9/10 of the rest of the world."

OT: Hmm, I tried to look for an image that was an adequate representation of "lol canada," but Google image has failed me. Then I remembered Denis Leary's "No Cure for Cancer" thing.
