<br />Marijuana has been given a bad rap in alot of people's eyes, put out there by the government. There is no war on drugs, our own government brings in the drugs, puts them on the streets, & launders the money thru the corrupt bankers of Wall Street. And when the competition gets too much, our own government just kills off the competition. The government knows they can't patent marijuana. So when the big loads of marijuana come in, the money is from those big cartels are just stolen from them & passed on to the ATF, how would the government ever justify the WAR ON DRUGS? There isn't one. But the money from the big drug cartels that are too much competitoion for our own government they need to take steps, to make sure the American people know about the "bust". And the ATF takes that money, because if have to justify the need for more funds from the American People, so if they launder the money they don' t have to go thru Congress to get the approval for more corrupt stuff, they just use the money that was stolen from the cartels, to fund more illegal operations. But marijuana is a natural healer.... there hasn't been 1 person who has ever died from marijuna overdose....no lasting side affects........doesn't affect other organs......please read up on true natural state of marijuna b4 saying it's a junkie drug........BIG PHARMA......IS THE LEGAL DRUG DEALER........SAY YES, TO MARIJUANA.<br />
<br /><br />No - let's agree to disagree. I do have a license for MMJ in the state of CA, but I also try to limit the inhalation, to protect my lungs. I ingest it, for when my pain is over the top, and I don't want to go to the hospital for Dilaudid. Smoking it is for emergencies.<br /><br />I don't feel MMJ is for the public at large at all. It should be downgraded to alcohol use, IMHO, so you can be given DUIs, and given fines up to an ounce if found in your car - like is done in the state of CA, if you don't have a license, like I do.<br /><br />I use mostly legally prescribed pills for pain. MMJ for breakthrough pain.<br /><br />
<br />@Tink<;br /><br />I have 2 sisters that have had breast cancer. They chose the chemo route. They are "chemo survivors", not breast cancer survivors. I don't believe any government ran site. They don't have the best interest in mind. I use handful of sites I know speak the truth. I can find "opinions" everywhere. I don't have time to waste on "opinions". My sites have never steered me wrong. As long as government keeps offering "free screenings" of pumping your body full of radiation & toxins, they know you will be a repeat customer. All the screenings are paid for by the BIG PHARMA, the same medications you will need when they give you the cancer. I'm not here to argue your points Tink, I'm here to spread the "truth", whether or not it's medical, Michael, NWO, etc.... This country doesn't have to time to argue, they need the truth. Vaccines are not the answer. Why has cancer just exploded???? It's in the food, water, vaccines, etc..... Everyone has "cancer" in our bodies. It's whether or not you keep feeding it with more toxins. With any vaccines, your getting injected with the "cocktail of death" just what the doctors ordered. C'mon if vaccines really work why do you have to get soooooo many? BECAUSE THEY DON'T WORK!!! your injected yourself with a disease your never going to get anyways. Why so many vaccines for kids, & multiple doses of same one? BECAUSE THEY DON'T WORK! why would they want to make sure vaccines are mandatory? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP! Why do you think CVS & Walgreens are offering discounts if you get FLU shot from them? BECAUSE THEY GET APPROX $25 for every shot that is pushed on people. This year alone, Walgreens had complaints to corporate Walgreens that customers we're getting harrassed about not agreeing to get FLU shot. Some employees of Walgreens even called www.naturalnews.com to complain about if they don't ask every customer, they we're going to be put in a drawing for a new IPAD, supplied by BIG PHARMA. Why is it that every other commerical on TV is either for a vaccine or drug? BIG PHARMA knows that if you see drug on TV, & you go to your doctor, & request that drug, your doctor will forget what you came for, and hey if you knew the drug you wanted.......made his job easier....he's your prescription......If you don't t think I'm speaking from experience, I not only have a grandson affected by vaccine brain damage, but also have a son who is an addict. Addicted to herion/prescription drugs. And for the withdrawl symtoms of herion to subside, he'd have to take another prescripton drug (suboxline) to help with the withdrawls. I've been checking into Ibogaine, which is illegal in the US. The problem is that taking another BIG PHARMA drug to get off of one prescription job is the agenda..... KEEP PEOPLE ADDICTED TO THEIR DRUGS & VACCINES. please understand there is ABSOLUTLEY NO MONEY IN THE CURE!!!! But I"m determined to find natural drugs to help my son, & continue the war on vaccines for my grandkids. I'm for marijuna because the only thing that has helped my son with his withdrawls is marijuna. But trust me, before my researching on natual healers, I was totally against marijuana, until I found out what was being surpressed as a natural cure. Also before all this research I thought there was nothing wrong with my prescription drugs I was taking. I was taking Adderall ( i thought for ADHD) which I found is nothing but a made up physcitrist name to make people compliant), anti-depressents---I have weened myself off everything. My body was lacking proper nutrition & vitamins & minerals. With a all natural ingredient vitamins & minerals (which by the way will not find in your local Walgreens or Walmart.). I get all my vitamins & minerals from www.vitacost.com where ingredients as fillers are not added to theirs. Most vitamins you get from CVS, WALGREENS, WALMART are full of fillers, (which fillers are normally sea shells crushed up) which is alot worse for you. If you know someone who's had cancer, autism, ask them "did your child have all vaccines?" Look at the history of allergies, lowered immune system, chronic ear infections, not only is this associated with vaccines, but it's what's their eating & drinking. C'mon the state supplied WIC PROGRAM, the baby formula they give you is over 50% sugar, is anyone wondering why kids are exploding with diabetes? Well if they drinking WIC SUPPLIED FORMULA, that's what they are fed from birth. OVER 50% SUGAR PEOPLE!!!!! Again another government supplied program. Why would we expect anything less from our American Government. I'm not saying everyone who goes in the health field is bad, I feel the schooling they getting, ( is for sure funded by BIG PHARMA) they are mis-informing these people on purpose. Because I can't believe every nurse that gives a vaccine realizes that they are brain damaging that child. They've been lied to also. What gets me is that the doctors take an oath.............not to cause harm...........How many are honoring that? Doctors get kickbacks, cruises, money, etc......to promote a certain drug. If they don't.......c'ya!!!<br />I know on this forum we do have a variety of age groups, so please for the sake of all ages spread the word of all the truths that can benefit us all.......Thanks ......<br />
<br /><br />You know, I think you may find you and I agree on more things, than not.<br /><br />Yes; MMJ has a place, when it comes to medicine. That, I won't argue, because I do use it on occasion. For extended use, I eat it. For quick relief, I smoke it. I tend to do the first, because it gives all body relief for Fibro and spinal patients.<br /><br />I tend to speak from similarities of my life, which can throw people off. People may think I'm a know it all - I've just had a rather concentrated life, because I've chosen to have an adventure for a life. It's hard to explain, unless you realize how many aunts/uncles I grew up with, it does get complicated. I'm even the 7th kid in my family. When you count up how many had how many kids by the time I was born, that's an awful lot. Which is why it wasn't a big deal, to adopt more kids into my house.<br /><br />I listen/watch this, while I'm working: http://www.ted.com/talks<br /><br />Perhaps we should start a thread on General Nutrition? I've been told to look into the Mediterranean Diet, since I've had some high cholesterol, from my tests. Just a little, but I sure love that I get to double both my fruits and veggies!<br /><br />As for vitamins? Yes, there are fillers in some. I read the ingredient lists, and usually purchase mine from Swansonvitamins.com or Iherb.com online, when I'm not in a hurry. <br /><br />When it comes to WIC, I've only seen women use the coupons, and go to the store. I've seen them buy the Juicy Juice, which is pure juice, btw. I've not bothered to read the dried formulas, but they were buying Enfamil, if I'm not mistaken.<br /><br />Some doctors do get kickbacks - this is true. For Fibro, it's probably Cymbalta and Savella, the two drugs cleared now for us. But I went back onto an older SNRI standby, that's covered by my insurance. I used to pay $150 every month for one of those, but it did help with the pain. My health insurance is cheaper than that, and for that same cost, I now have insurance, and all my meds covered that I need now. Most of what I take has fallen out of patent, so I'm finally getting some real relief.<br /><br />I do understand. And sugar IS my enemy, because I crave it. There was a time that my parents gave it to me all the time, growing up! But with Fibro, sugar intake directly = more pain with me. Most likely, feeds candida, in the stomach/intestines.<br /><br />What I do, is take a synergistic approach to medicine. And it begins with diet.
@Tink....<br /><br />That's a great idea for the nutrition link. I actually was going to start one, but wasn't sure how it would go over in the Michael Jackson Hoax Forum....lol.... But it would be a start. I'm sure there are many people who know alot of natural healers..... like ACV (apple cider vinegar), if someone has some good tips on improving their healthy, with stuff we just have laying around the house, it would save many a trip to doctor for medications. Lets try to spread the word of natural spices, that we have in our cupboards to get my peoples's "diseases" so they don't have to rely on any medication. Remember............medication only MASKS THE PROBLEM. IT NEVER CURES IT!!! I know when I was craving sweets (I'm not diabetic) it was because of the lack of nutriton, that's when I started taking "superfoods" mixing them in with my smoothies. It doesn't taste the best at first, but it's tolerable, & has many many "greens" we can't get from food in their natural state. <br /><br />I work rotation shifts Tink........so Yes, please START THE NUTRITION LINK.......I'D LOVE TO LEARN OTHER PEOPLES "RECIPES: FOR SPICES WE HAVE JUST LAYING AROUND THINKING THEY ONLY ARE USED FOR COOKING......<br /><br />My sister lives in California now. I believe her boyfriend does the Medical Marijuana. Hey if it helps with any aliment without damaging further organs, then stay away from the prescription drugs. <br />Tink check out www.naturalnews.com he's the best on food, vitamins, minerals, vaccines, etc.....you might find a natural herb, or put in your medications your taking, I believe they cross refererence to something natural to get off any prescription drugs. <br />Like I've said, I don't have time to waste on "some paid off scientists altered data". I need the truth. Natural News has NEVER mislead me, & I get their daily emails. My gut & soul just knows they are exposing the truth. As American's we need to demand to know what's in our food, water, medications, etc.... I don't want LIES... I'm not believing them anymore!!
Yes, Fibromyalgia, IBS, DDD, and a few other issues. Sugar is like my hugest roller coaster, that spurs everything off. After 8 years of alternative meds and such, I'm quite aware that there isn't any cure for all the discs in my spine degenerating. But, I can help them, by drinking 1.5 fluid ounces of water per pound of body weight, each and every day. That's higher than we're told, but it gives me the best results, without the chills I feel otherwise. And, has stopped me from being rushed to the ER, and shoved onto IV drips, hurrah!<br /><br />Glucosamine with Chondroitin along with MSM has taken my joint pains down due to being hit by a bus that affects my sciatica rather badly. I was told I'd be in a wheelchair, 5 years ago. The docs can't understand how I'm still walking, lol.<br /><br />I made an agreement simply by taking opiates, MMJ, and some Fibro meds and muscle relaxers on a schedule. Otherwise, I take natural stuff, including Adrenal glands. Docs feel I'm an anomoly, but to keep doing what I am.<br /><br />My biggest secret? Staying on a regular sleep program, and getting up the same time every day. I take everything the same time. The body loves that! Opiods also do not affect the kidneys, if they don't have Tylenol. <br /><br />The latest thing? The new doc figured out I have constant post nasal drip, and gave me a nasal spray, Nasonex, for it. I can now snuggle my tabby at night!<br /><br />I also eat the Mediterranian Diet, which doubles fruits and veggies for most people. Greek Yogurt, each and every day, too. Lots of things that are easy, plus it's a heart healthy diet.<br /><br />Though I take my obligitary flu shots, I have had my illnesses cut way down, which is a boon for me. I massage the area, just like I do for my cat. I also only get my cat her shots, every 3 years. I make sure it's absorbed, so she doesn't get a nodule.<br /><br />I feel the answer is somewhere in between, and approach my life that way. Thus far, I'm improving my health for the first time in years. I pray it stays the course.
Do you by chance drink diet soda? Leave the flu shots alone Tink. You don't need them. Your going to weaken your immune system. It's a scam, hoax, what ever you want to call it. IT'S BEEN PROVEN BY CDC OWN WORDS, THEY DO NOT WORK!! Your pumping your already fragile body with more toxins, excellent for breeding grounds for cancer. Here's some information on the flu shot..... please DO NOT GET ANY MORE!! <br /><br />Flu shot fantasies: How influenza vaccines halt flu infections (even when they don’t) <br />Mike Adams<br />Natural News<br />December 21, 2011<br /><br />(NaturalNews) Vaccines are so effective at halting disease that they confer total immunity, say vaccine advocates. “Take a flu shot and you won’t get the flu!” Both flu shots and MMR vaccines are so safe and effective that everybody should be forced to take them, they insist.<br /><br />And why? Because they claim all those un-vaccinated people will spread disease to the vaccinated people!<br /><br />(Insert vinyl record screeching sound here.)<br /><br />Hold on just a minute. Wasn’t their whole argument about vaccines based on the idea that they confer total immunity to those who take them? Well, if that’s true then they should have no fear whatsoever of un-vaccinated people!<br /><br />According to vaccine promoters, if you take a flu shot vaccine, that means you can run around and drench yourself in flu viruses with total immunity. You can lick dirty doorknobs, shake hands with people who just wiped their runny noses, and even touch filthy drooling babies right before you eat a sandwich with your contaminated hands. Thanks to the vaccine, you’re now bulletproof!<br /><br />So why worry at all about un-vaccinated people infecting you?<br /><br />Vaccines cause brain damage<br /><br />See, the vaccine logic just doesn’t add up. There’s a reason for that, of course: Vaccines make you stupid. The chemical adjuvants added to vaccines actually cause neurological damage and interfere with healthy cognitive function. That’s why brain-damaged people who take vaccines — also known as Vaccine Zombies — can’t work out the simple logic explained above.<br /><br />It’s also why people who take vaccines are easily fooled into taking yet more vaccines. The critical thinking parts of their brains have been impaired, and they also have trouble with math and finances. Did you know that two-thirds of Americans cannot explain how compound interest works? Try to explain fundamental concepts of fractional-reserve banking to your average vaccine consumer and you’ll quickly discover just how brain damaged they really are.<br /><br />Vaccines, fluoride, MSG and toxic heavy metals all work together in our modern world to chemically lobotomize the masses, turning them into drooling (useful) idiots who are just barely smart enough to punch a clock and operate some machinery on the job, but not nearly smart enough to realize how much they’re all being ripped off by the Fed’s money creation schemes that devalue the currency.<br /><br />In fact, you might say that a vaccine-impaired population is absolutely essential for the existence of a police state government that relies on the poor cognitive function of its own citizens to maintain power and control over them. If people could actually do math, for example, they’d be marching in Washington right now — just over the national debt if nothing else.<br /><br />Vaccine zealots are time travelers (in their own minds)<br /><br /><br />Another especially hilarious truism about flu shots is that they only work if you go back in time to the year before and expose yourself to last year’s flu viruses. That’s because each year’s flu shot is made from the circulating viral strains found last year, not this year.<br /><br />Viruses mutate rapidly, resulting in structural changes that often circumvent immune system antibodies, especially if those antibodies were created in response to exposure of a different strain. So getting injected with last year’s viral strains is only useful if you’re a time traveler with a time machine in your living room. Wanna relive the flu season of 2007? No problem! The vaccine companies have those strains readily available for you. Just crank up your time-traveling gizmo that you bought on eBay and you’re ready to roll!<br /><br />But if you’re looking to protect yourself in the present (or the near future), getting injected with last year’s influenza strain is about as idiotic as thinking you can beat the stock market by buying a crystal ball off eBay.<br /><br />Vaccines need no proof that they work<br /><br /><br />The best part about the total morons who get vaccinated every year with flu shots is watching them try to explain why they always get sick anyway!<br /><br />Me: “Hi, Cathy. Merry Christmas. Oh, you’re sick again this year? What happened?”<br /><br />Cathy: “I don’t know, I just started feeling tired and achy again, and now I’m vomiting every four hours and can’t eat.”<br /><br />Me: “Huh, sounds like the flu. But that’s weird, don’t you get the flu shot every year?”<br /><br />Cathy: “Yeah, and it’s a good thing, too, because if I didn’t, this flu would have been even worse.”<br /><br />This is, of course, the very kind of loopy “quackery” logic that mainstream medicine invokes when attacking holistic medicine or homeopathy. Notice that Cathy has now justified her vaccine injections by believing they offered her flu protection even when she’s the one who’s sick? Furthermore, she mistakenly believes that flu shots reduce the severity of her influenza infection, even when that’s pure bunk as well.<br /><br />It’s a curious behavioral tendency in humans, of course, to rationalize their decisions with irrational thinking. This is especially true in the vaccine industry where people have been brainwashed into thinking vaccines are effective whether or not they actually work.<br /><br />Option #1) Did you avoid the flu this winter? Must have been the flu shot!<br /><br />Option #2) Catch a flu this winter? Oh, it “could have been worse” without the flu shot.<br /><br />So, in the minds of the flu shot takers, there is no scenario in which the flu shot fails. It ALWAYS works in their minds, regardless of the outcome. That’s a sure sign that somebody at the medical clinic is quacking like a duck… Quack! Quack!<br /><br /><br />99% of the vaccine-taking public are delusional<br /><br />What makes this all so hilarious? Well, for starters, flu shots only prevent flu symptoms in 1 out of 100 people who take them (http://www.naturalnews.com/033998_i…).<br /><br />This means that 99% of flu take takers are delusional, living in a medical wonderland complete with fairies, unicorns and leprechauns who magically appear to defend them against influenza infections.<br /><br />Perhaps more hilariously, 99% of the doctors and pharmacists are also delusional because they promote flu shots even when there is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the idea that they really work. There are no credible clinical trials performed on any flu vaccines before they are rolled out, did you know? Sure, the drug companies inject a few dozen volunteers with the shot and watch for symptoms over a period of 14 days or so, but that’s not a real clinical trial (too small, too short, and it’s all funded by the vaccine companies anyway). Not surprisingly, nobody in the field of medicine bothers to test the efficacy of flu shots versus vitamin D supplements, because they know vitamin D would vastly out-perform flu shots in its ability to prevent influenza infections.<br /><br />That’s the beauty of flu shots: They need no proof! Because the people who take them will convince themselves that the flu shots are working, even when they’re the ones getting sick all the time.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the people who are NOT getting sick tend to be the people who are taking vitamin D supplements, who are drinking immune-boosting herbal tea, and who lead healthy lifestyles. That’s what really works to prevent the flu… no vaccine necessary!<br /><br />So watch out for the loopy logic and twisted minds of flu shot promoters. These people are a bit lacking in the brains department, with a few shelves missing from their cognitive library. A few fries short of a Happy Meal. In a room full of chimpanzees, they’d be the last to escape.<br /><br />These are not the best and brightest that humanity has to offer, that’s for sure. No wonder vaccines are now being used to promote infertility, because even Bill Gates admits that the globalists don’t want these people to reproduce.<br /><br />
@LoveShyMichael - No soda for a very long time. <br /><br />2,000 IUs Vit D caps per day, along with Sublingual B Complex, proven to be just as effective as the shots, and for a fraction of the cost, along with regular Centrum.<br /><br />Flu shots work beautifully on me, I can't say enough good, along with the pneumonia shot. I used to get sick for one or two months in bed. Now, day or two, that's it. They stop the Fibro from flaring, in my situation - I've proven this one, with me as the guinea pig, 2 years ago this month. Never missed another shot, after that.<br /><br />I also cover my face with a scarf in public around sniffling & coughing people, and use the alcohol hand cleaner, if I touch anything, or anyone.<br /><br />We know exactly what caused my fibro, which caused everything else with it. Yes; I have a ground zero, so I'm not concerned. I don't suffer the fog like most people with it, nor am I fat. <br /><br />I do what's best for ME, I and have no fear in telling my doctors what to do, and have fired one last year for not listening. It's a partnership, and the ones I have now work on prevention.<br /><br />Fibro is the Monster I deal with, first and foremost, and get my information from the two research groups on it directly. Nutrition is #1, controlling my pain is #2, exercise #3, and sleep is #4. <br /><br />And now, I've had a long day on my feet, and need to sleep soon.<br /><br />I'll do the Nutrition thing, but I want to keep opinions on shots out.<br />Like to keep it on Nutrition and Prevention, like exercise, kk? bearhug

<br /><br />THIS is the future of medicine, and will replace cutting people open!! Already, they've been able to extract people's own stemcells from their hips, grow them, and re-introduce them into trouble spots, such as degenerating discs!<br /><br />I also love the TED talks. Nanites have been around for awhile, but tailoring them is an art to themselves. It's exciting, as long as people leave the scary science fiction aspects where they belong: in the entertainment section, and don't fear Nanotechnology.
Hi there!<br /><br />Here's some very good news from the medical world <br /><br />
<br />[size=10pt]The End of Cancer. DCA makes its world debut. <br /><br />Tags:<br />Cancercurehealthscience<br /><br />[size=12pt]Canadian Researchers Find Long-Awaited Cure using “Dichloroacetate”[/size]<br /> <br />By Prachi Kamble, Staff Writer<br /> <br />No hoaxes, no rumours, this is the real deal. Researchers at the University of Alberta’s Department of Medicine have discovered a simple and inexpensive drug that is proven to kill cancer cells.<br /> <br />This drug, dichloroacetate (DCA), changes the metabolism of cancer cells and causes them to age and die, a feat that is alien to cancer cells and stops them from otherwise destroying the human body.<br /> <br />Dr.Michelakis and his team at the University of Alberta have been heavily researching the effects of DCA on non-human models since 2007. The team published its findings in that year and since then has proceeded to prove the success of DCA on human cancer cell samples and recently on actual human subjects.<br /> <br />Michelakis’ project is in dire need of funding at this very crucial stage of the research, as the majority of the breakthrough has already been unearthed. Fine-tuning on the findings—such as making the drug safe on all human recipients, as well as scoring out the side effects of the drug—still needs to be done.<br /> <br />If DCA becomes successful in the cure for cancer, it may eliminate the plethora of chemotherapy drugs that rake in millions for pharmaceutical companies each year.<br /> <br />With adequate funding and media attention, Michelakis’ cancer curing team may well accomplish what the twenty-first century had thought was impossible: an end to the baffling and invincible disease that is cancer.<br /> <br />Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. Cancer.org cites that “[a]n estimated 177,800 new cases of cancer … and 75,000 deaths from cancer will occur in Canada in 2011.” The organization also states in their recent findings of 2011 that 40% of women and 45% of men in Canada will develop cancer during their lifetimes.<br /> <br />For the Canadian population that is headed for these horrifying numbers, as well as for the entire global population, the discovery of DCA effect on cancer represents a wave of concrete and substantial hope.[/size]
.<br /><br />[size=12pt]Proof that the cancer industry doesn’t want a cure – even if it’s a pharmaceutical[/size]<br />Tuesday, January 31, 2012 by: PF Louis<br /> <br />(NaturalNews) A safe and effective cure for cancer has been discovered with a drug that was once used for unusual metabolic problems. Yet, the cancer industry shows no interest with following up on dichloroacetate (DCA) research from University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, reported in 2007. That’s because DCA is no longer patented. (1)<br /> <br />That research also confirmed cancer as a metabolic malfunction, not a weird mutation of cells often explained away as a genetic issue. But the medical mafia doesn’t want you to hear about it. But it confirms what most alternative cancer therapists already know.<br /> <br />Since Nixon declared the “war on cancer” in the 1970s, the cancer industry has succeeded with raising money for researching very expensive chemo substances at $50,000 to $100,000 per round or more for toxic therapies that rarely work. (2)<br /> <br />Chemo drugs usually lead to demanding more business with drugs to ease terrible side effects (http://www.naturalnews.com/034761_cancer_drugs_toxicity_Voraxaze.html). Meanwhile, more are getting cancer and more are dying from it, mostly because of the toxic treatments.<br /> <br />Explaining DCA research results<br /> <br />Evangelos Michelakis and the Alberta University research team tested DCA on human cancer cells outside the body and in cancerous mice with profound success. DCA was once used for unusual metabolic disorders. The worst side effects, which rarely occur, include some numbness and an affected gait.<br /> <br />The mice were fed DCA in water, and in weeks they had remarkable tumor shrinkage. This indicates DCA can be taken orally. DCA works by restoring the cells’ mitochondria. Michelakis and his team had discovered that the mitochondria in cancer cells are not permanently damaged and irreparable. This is what mainstream medicine thinks.<br /> <br />With mitochondria malfunctioning, cancer cells use glucose fermentation for survival energy. This fermentation occurs when glycolysis (glucose conversion) occurs in an anaerobic cellular environment, which can be created by benign tumor masses, toxins, and low pH levels.<br /> <br />DCA restores mitochondria in cells to make them function properly. Another function of normal mitochondria is signaling apoptosis, or cellular self destruction. Normal cells die and become replaced constantly. But with cancer cells, the apoptosis signal is nullified, making cancer cells “immortal.” (3)<br /> <br />The Alberta University researchers also realized that glycolysis fermentation in cancer cells produces lactic acid. The lactic acid breaks down the collagen holding those cells together in a tumor. This allows cancer cells to easily break away from a tumor shrinking with mainstream therapies.<br /> <br />The researchers reasoned this is why cancer metastasizes or spreads to different parts of the body or reappears after remission from chemo.<br /> <br />Tragic hypocrisy<br /> <br />Alternative cancer therapies have little or no problem with metastatic cancer or even cancer reoccurring after remission. Most alternative cancers simply cure cancers completely.<br /> <br />DCA offers the cancer industry an opportunity to come up with a pharmaceutical cure that is much cheaper and safer than their current standard of care. Yet the cancer industry is ignoring this opportunity. Instead, DCA is a homeless orphan begging for research funds to avoid legal issues with off label use on cancer. (4)<br /> <br />Alternative cancer practitioners have always simply tried out and when they succeeded shared them with others who cared more about healing than money and power.<br /> <br />The medical mafia has created a matrix that demands big bucks to make big bucks for sick care instead of curing. Everyone in on the scam makes out financially. The cancer industry accuses alternative cancer therapists of quackery and taking advantage of the desperately ill for financial gain. Accusing others of your motives and crimes is called projection.<br /> <br />[size=12pt]The medical/pharmaceutical complex is crony capitalism that doesn’t want a cure for cancer from anywhere. >:([/size]<br />

<br /><br />This is really frustrating, I've no words for this >:( >:( Scientists spent years and years to find a cure, they succeed and the medical mafia wipes everything from the table. bangbang<br />
@everlasting_MJ: I happily can disprove this, and make you smile! )<br /><br />News: Further RESEARCH IS WARRANTED in colorectal, endometrial cancers:<br /><br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20537792<br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18423823<br /><br />PROMISING in tumor metabolism and may be VALUABLE in glioblastoma (specific type of brain tumors!):<br /><br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17222789<br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20463368<br /><br />Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma REVERSAL - still TUMOR FREE with DCA!<br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20886020<br /><br />"The single most important thing I need to stress is that "cancer" is not one specific disease with one specific treatment. and there are no treatments without side effects.<br /><br />Here's what I can sum up for you about DCA. I'm going to try to be as general as I can, but this is NOT a simple, cut and dry topic. However every link below should connect to an actual published, peer-reviewed study or at least an abstract (not some wikipedia link) to guide your own research.<br /><br />DCA is a pyruvate mimetic compound that stimulates mitochondrial function by inhibiting the family of regulatory pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK1-4). The stimulation of mitochondrial function, at the expense of glycolysis, reverses the Warburg effect and is thought to block the growth advantage of highly glycolytic tumors. (Basically, cancer cells eat more and grow more, DCA is thought to alter that tumor's metabolism). It has been used for about 30 years or so to treat mitochondrial disorders, and is currently under investigation as a possible cancer therapy.<br /><br />However, research has run into a problem evaluating DCA for cancer. The weird thing seems to be that there is a marked difference in the way DCA appears to act in a dish, the way it appears to act in animals, and the way it appears to act in humans.<br /><br />This peculiarity alone may take years of research and tons of money to understand, mostly because in vitro (dish) analysis is usually the first step in evaluating potential new compounds, and it may suggest that there are things about tumor growth and metabolism which have yet to be understood properly enough to evaluate the effectiveness of DCA.<br /><br />From what I have read, DCA does have toxic effects, which seem to be mainly neuropathies and adverse effects on the liver.<br /><br />Another problem is that DCA has a long history of being studied as a pollutant, cause of tumors in mice,and possible disease in humans particularly in association with other toxic hydrocarbons in superfund sites.<br /><br />Simply take into consideration the idea of how carefully you would want to study something that was previously investigated as a toxin and pollutant, and you're not sure yet how it exactly works. You'd probably want to be as thorough as possible before handing it out like candy in oncology wards across the world, regardless of how much money is involved.<br /><br />On the whole, DCA seems to show promise in some forms of cancer, mainly by acting on the tumor's metabolic pathways in a manner not yet clearly understood. A DCA treatment protocol will still take man hours, years, dollars, and whatever comes of it, beneficial or not, it will certainly not be a miracle cure.<br /><br />Now comes the problem with dealing with profit for "BIG PHARMA". A lot of this seems to stem from the article here, and is of course debatable and could easily devolve into heated, off-topic debates.<br /><br />Most people need to understand that what they think of as the "BIG PHARMA" is actually thousands of independent international interests including pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, clinics, regulatory agencies at local, state, federal levels, research firms, laboratories, universities, philanthropic organizations who provide grant funding, insurance providers, government and military agencies, oversight comittees, educational institutions, marketing firms, legal firms, advertising agencies, all the way down to individual medical personnel and the guy who empties the bedpans. The interaction between the way these entities compete and cooperate with each other is complex, to say the least and there is indeed much room for critique of the system as it currently stands, but to lump the whole thing under some "BIG PHARMA" cabal run by Satan and Darth Vader from atop a gigantic pile of money is a bit naive. If there is real promise in DCA, someone will find it, someone will fund it and despite any bureaucratic or economic hiccups, it will get to market, because there is no one out there profit-driven or not, who wouldn't want to sell their products with the label "From The Company Who Cured Cancer".<br /><br />http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/250/dichloroacetate-dca-as-a-cure-for-cancer
