Canadian researchers find a simple cure for cancer, but major pharmaceutical companies are not interested.
Researchers at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada have cured cancer last week, yet there is a little ripple in the news or in TV. It is a simple technique using very basic drug. The method employs dichloroacetate, which is currently used to treat metabolic disorders. So, there is no concern of side effects or about their long term effects.
This drug doesn’t require a patent, so anyone can employ it widely and cheaply compared to the costly cancer drugs produced by major pharmaceutical companies.
Pharmaceutical companies are not investing in this research because DCA method cannot be patented, without a patent they can’t make money, like they are doing now with their AIDS Patent.

I agree, look at how many carcinogens are in our food and other products. Many new chemicals are released on the market every day untested.

Your thread title is sensationalist and misleading.

(edited to add: sorry I should have kept reading the thread before posting )This report is actually from 2007. That's the even sadder part. It was on the local news station, but I see that the link is gone....likely because it's been 4 years..but you never know. Here is another link directly to the universities website regarding the research.

Big Pharma is practically making people sick (through HAARP, disease manufacturing, etc.) and THEN making too much money from any illness period, including cancer.
And yes, I believe that Big Government runs Big Pharma: it approves or stamps out drugs, does it not? Mmm-hmm.
Meanwhile, I have got to get my hands on that cure ASAP. I know quite a few people with 'incurable' cancers . . .
Peace,
