The Cancer Hodge Podge

   If you had to live with and watch a love one die of this dreadful disease   you would change your stance on this one.  Canadian Researchers,  at the University  of  Alberta  found  a simple drug  that might  be  a  cure  all  for cancer.  However,  the major pharmaceutical companies want exclusivity and  can’t get it ~ it has no value on the market because they can’t patent this miracle drug.

   Dr. Evangelos Michelakis has employed dichloroacetate  (DCA)  which          is  currently used  to  treat metabolic disorders.  So there is no concern of    side effects  or  about   it’s   long term  effect,  this  drug  doesn’t  require  a patent. So this means anybody can buy it now… it’s employed widely and cheaply  because  it’s  already  on  the  market.  While Canadian Scientists  tested   DCA  on human cells  and it killed lung,  breast,  brain cancer cells and left healthy cells alone.

    In human bodies there is a natural cancer  fighting human cell,  which        is the mitochondria;  however,  they need  to  be  triggered  to  be  effective. Scientists  used  to think  that mitochondria cells were damaged  and  thus  uneffective against cancer.  So they used to  focus  on  glycolysis,  which is  less effective in curing cancer and more wasteful.

    Thereby, the drug manufacturers  focused on this glycolysis method to fight cancer.  This  on  the  other  hand  doesn’t  rely  on  glycolysis instead   on  mitochondria,  while  triggering  the mitochondria  to  fight  the  cancer  cells. The side effect of this action is it rectivates a process called apoptosis. You see,  the mitochondria contains an all – too – important self destruction  button that can’t pressed in cancer cells.

    Without  it,  tumors  grow  larger  as  cells  refuse  to  be  extinquished,   while  fully  functioning mitochondria,  thanks to DCA can once again die. With glycolysis  turned off,  the body produces less lactic acid;  so the bad tissue around cancer cells won’t break down and start new tumors.
