Well, you are partially right. Not on the science, that shit is sound, but the BS thing. They cured a very specific TYPE of cancer, not cancer in general.Owyn_Merrilin said:

I'm sorry for being dense, but is this practice available at all anywhere? I mean, I understand it's not widely known and won't be picked up by big companies and that IS some nasty stuff,
but if a loved one has breast cancer or the like, is there a way I can get them this help? I don't care about traveling expenses of what the cost would be or what country I'd have to go to. I don't care if it's the smallest room in the smallest annex of that university. If this is real, if this is a viable cure, cand I get it?
...Or am I stuck until someone decides to make use of it because there is no money to be had and no independant organizations are picking up on this?
EDIT: I see. Nevermind then. Have to learn to read comments on other pages of a thread before getting worked up.

I also heard that a doctor in Italy cures cancer with bicarbonate of soda. I can't judge the effectiveness of these treatments because of my relative lack of scientific knowledge, but I'm skeptical, because I believe that if it wasn't pseudo-science, at least some doctors, scientists, and mainstream media would take interest. Not everyone is about "big-pharma" profit, as the conspiracy theorists appear to believe. Surely there are independent people with scientific knowledge who would assess this. Do I have too much faith in humanity?
wait... *looks out window*Thumper17 said:
dude! I live there!
I live in the city that cured cancer!!
If this shit actually works it's amazing, and I hope it get's proven on several levels of testing so there is no doubt about it.
As for pharmacies, they are a business and would prefer it if everyone were on their deathbed buying only their licensed never to cure you pills, that is just a fact you always haveto remember, they don't want you well they want your money.

This is either a troll or a post by someone who really doesn't understand what they're looking at, as the article is obviously complete crap. The rough English, the mentioning of cellular structures as independent cells in the body, etc. Ladies and gents, you're either being made fools of or the OP himself is a fool, and either way you should all stop going "Oh my God capitalism is evil" and start considering how stupid you'd have to be to believe this without researching it yourself first.

Thought I should link this real quick. The substance they're calling a "cure" is listed as a possible cancer causing agent by people who actually know what the hell they're talking about. It's also listed as causing "nerve and liver damage," along with further explanation that there's no factual evidence that DCA does anything to "cure cancer" or help in any way whatsoever.
DCA is also not available in the United States, due to its harmful nature, outside of clinical trials. See what happens when you bother to use Google for five seconds?

Hooray Canada. Now everyone tell your friends and spread the word so this news can get out to people, who have cancer (the news obviously isn't doing its job).
There's no "cure for cancer." Studies have been going on for two years with no evidence that this crap helps in the slightest. This post is either a troll or an ignorant person spreading that ignorance to a lot of people on the internet, not that spreading ignorance on the internet is particularly difficult.Twilight_guy said:

It would except for the fact that these drug companies are operating in a global economy, and it is the American healthcare system specifically which provides a sizable portion of the funding which lets them act like this because we suffer from the delusion that making people pay for their health is a good thing.Matt_LRR said:
Not a troll, a friend of mine showed it to me but I wanted to see what people on the Escapist had to say. I'm glad that some people could clear it up and show that the article was more sensationalism and how some of what it says is plain wrong. I apologise to anyone who got their hopes up, just wanted to see if there was any validity to this.GodEmperor47 said:
A higher T cell count is the only thing I can think of that would give some one better chances against HIV, that and some 3 drugs I know of that restrict the activity of HIV short of curing it. A bone marrow transfusion would be what was needed to give a HIV patient the T cells from a higher T cell individuals... And those higher T cell individuals make up more than 1% of the population. Is that what that cure was? Or was it some serios freak mutation. The method of trasplant sounds to me like they tried it and because of the T cells, and in combination with the anti-retro-viral drugs, the patients HIV sickness was lessened or he was given a better prognosis. If he was truly cured of HIV, I'm damn sure it'd be all over the news.

So we have a viable cure for cancer that can work with a bit more testing, is cost effective and easy to aquire and doesen't fuck up the body like most cancer cures? But the companies won't use it because it won't make them money. Fuck that, corporate greed does suck!
EDIT: What? This is old news and it may just be sensational bullshit? God damn it, I got my hopes up...

you know that saying "if its too good to be true, it probably isn't"?
I'm getting that feeling.
at the posts about "socialized vs privatized healthcare", please stfu.
nobody cares about your politics.
it's seriously worse than console wars.

wow. You think there's a different reason, perhaps, that it never got media time?
