Dichloroacetate: University of Alberta Doctors Discover A Cure For Cancer
UPDATE** View Clinical Trial Of DCA here
Dr Evengelos Michelakis, associate chair
and medical researcher at the University of Alberta’s faculty of
medicine and his team of researchers have discovered a cure for cancer.
Long after his work was published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI) (3)(4), Circulation (2002, 2006), Circulation Research (2004)(5), PNSAS (2007)(6)(7), and Science Translational Medicine (August 2010) (1)(2), the University of Alberta’s research team still isn’t receiving any support from the medical industry.
Dr Michelakis and his team of
researchers were the first to show that a cancer marker called survivin,
which was thought to be found only in cancer cells was also heavily
expressed in abnormal pulmonary arteries. The work was one of the first
comprehensive studies to show a link between pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH) and cancer, as you can see from the sources listed
above.
A portion of his work was also recently
published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
Dichloroacetate (DCA) was found to shrink solid tumors, including the
aggressive primary brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme in human beings.
You can view that study here(8).
Dr Michelakis’s research supports the
emerging idea of altering the metabolism of tumors as a new direction of
treatment for cancer. The drug is called dichloroacetate (DCA), and its
been proven to reverse cancer growth. The drug tricks cancer cells into
normal energy production by changing the ways they handle nutrient
fuels. This causes the cancer cells to commit suicide without harming
any healthy cells. Many researchers around the world have confirmed the
research coming out of the University of Alberta.
Dichloroacetate (DCA) is a small
molecule drug that has long been used to treat congenital mitochondrial
abnormalities. The mitochondria (cell power source), is vital for
several reasons. One of them is acting as oxygen sensors and control, as
well as controlling programmed cell death. This process if known as
apoptosis. The significance here is that this process is suppressed in
cancer, a disease that’s characterized by uncontrolled cell growth.
Major studies within cancer research
have been proven to be false which also suggests that the mainstream
treatments we use are based on fraudulent findings and false science.
It’s usually the treatments not heavily publicized and promoted that we
should keep our eye on. More researchers are catching on, not to long
ago University of Michigan researchers suggested increasing public
funding of research to decrease potential bias from industry ties. You
can read more about that here.
What’s encouraging here is that the
studies coming out of the University of Alberta are indeed publicly
funded! Therefore there is absolutely no bias from industry connections,
so it is much easier to trust and has the potential for higher
validity.
Findings published in the journal Nature show
that 88% of major studies on cancer that have been published in
reputable journals over the years can not be reproduced to show their
accuracy. This means that the research findings published makes it more
difficult to trust them and threatens their validity.
Why Is The Drug Not Being Used?
The University of Alberta team has
conducted tests on humans, but the pharmaceutical sector of medicine is
responsible for funding clinical trials that lead to the approval of
medical treatments. It turns out that the rights to the DCA compound are
not owned by any pharmaceutical company. This is a problem, as most of U
of A’s research on this issue has been publicly funded. They are
currently working to secure more funding to continue their research and
ongoing DCA clinical trials.
Without industry support, it’s almost
impossible to do anything with this research and infiltrate the health
industry. It’s no different from any other industry. It’s not like you
can take a water fuel cell car like Stan Meyer did, and introduce it to
the energy industry. Doing so would wipe out the multi trillion dollar
industry, it’s no different from the medical industry, heavy suppression
of known cancer treatments is likely to exist.
Drug companies are not interested in
drugs that won’t make them a profit. At the same time, we must keep in
mind that all of the big pharmaceutical companies share the same owners
as all of the big biotech giants like Monsanto and other food
corporations. Our food is littered with toxic chemicals and GMO’s, and
there is a large amount of evidence to suggest that these contribute in
the sickness we see the human race plagued with today, making them
dependent on pharmaceutical drugs. Please use our search bar, or browse
through our health, science/tech and alternative news sections for more
information on this subject.
Cancer treatments shouldn’t be limited
to drugs, there are plenty of natural remedies that have proven to be
effective. You might want to look into cannabis,hemp oil, soursop,
baking soda and more. It’s time to start questioning the industry and,
with all of the evidence available ask yourself, is cancer really
untreatable? It is after all multi-trillion dollar industry.
At the end of the day, it comes down to making better choices in your life.
This is an old broadcast, and
the drug has since been proven effective on humans, as well as human
cancer cells outside of the body.

I joined the CE team in 2010 and have been doing this ever since.
There are many things happening on the planet that don't resonate with
me, and I wanted to do what I could to play a role in creating change.
It's been great making changes in my own life and creating awareness and
I look forward to more projects that move beyond awareness and into
action and implementation. So stay tuned :)
