[ link to hubpages.com] 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.  glycolysis requires oxygen, and mitochondria use glycolysis to make ATP which is the "energy" currency of the cell. I am not sure whether this article is a joke or not, but I assure you as a cancer researcher, we would be very interested if this made any sense or had a basis in science. As it stands this is laughable...I think it was meant as a joke. Try to keep an open mind and don't be so dismissive of others work that you have not reviewed or replicated. Edmonton, AB - Medical Researchers at the University of Alberta reported today evidence that the orphan generic drug Dichloroacetate (DCA) may hold promise as potential therapy for perhaps the deadliest of all human cancers: a form of brain cancer called glioblastoma. The report is published at the journal Science Translational Medicine, a journal of the American Association of the Advancement of Science; it appears today at the journal's web site [ link to www.sciencemag.org] In 2007 the U of A team led by Dr Michelakis, published evidence that DCA reverses cancer growth in non-human models and test tubes. The team showed then that DCA achieves these antitumor effects by altering the metabolism of cancer. By altering the way cancer handles its nutrient fuels, specifically the sugars, DCA was able to take away cancer's most important strength, the resistance to death. Since then, several independent groups across the world have confirmed the Alberta team's findings. In December 2009, the editors of "Science" predicted that cancer metabolism is one of only 5 areas across all scientific disciplines, to "watch for major breakthroughs" in 2010. A cure for cancer? no. But maybe another piece of the puzzle solved,and possibly a cost effective therapeutic alternative that is free of debilitating side effects. Every little bit contributes to the knowledge base.
