I have no clue about the validity of the claims for the drug, but it's clearly worth a good look. Silly question: why aren't doctors prescribing DCA off-label for otherwise untreatable cases? DCA's already approved for use in humans to treat la

In a world where cancer is a treatable disease, some other health concern would take its place. People who smoke would be less likely to die of lung cancer, and more likely to die of heart debilitation and respiratory disorders. That trend will continue un

Thanks Logan. I think he is going to beat cancer.

I was still hoping for a cure to cancer and then the big beach party, hand holding, rainbows, elves, lilac scented unicorns, chocolate and handjobs. But I'll settle for my brother bein

Wow Logan, that is one of the most twisted things I have read in a while.

Consider the nuclear industry. It's not giant explosions that we fear, it's radiation and toxic waste. Why? They cause cancer. Imagine a world where a simple inoculation or a handful of pills wold make it entirely safe to live next door to a nu

I read about that last week. DCA? something acetate... whatever.. Apparently it works like most other chemotherapies but it doesn't harm healthy cells.. So far they've only seen that reaction in lab rats that had human cancers so the clinical trials (a req

It's funny, Cancer is the ultimate disease. It's the trump card, the Big C, the one that ends all arguments. The cure for cancer has been the holy grail of medical science since treatment for warts and the Evil Eye stopped being Doctors' bread and butter.

So very skeptical.
$2 a dose for a product already approved for human use and you say you need $400-600m for human trials? Skeptical.
