All using the same rehashed versions of old footage and poorly researched articles.
Cancer is not one thing that can be magically cured. DCA is real and it had (and has) interesting things it can do, but having results in rats and having results in humans are almos always two MASSIVELY different things.
To claim that this is a cure that is being covered up is supremely naive and not accurate to the facts at all, but it is headline catching and people don't bother researching things.
The reality is treatments like using DCA is a very complicated thing that needs to be treated with a rigorous scientific treatment. Otherwise you can do more harm than good, or find out it does nothing, or find out that it only works on certain types of people etc etc.
Without actually going through the scientific process you end up with chaos (and then things like homeopathic medicine....yikes!)
The fact that this research takes time and money can be extremely frustrating but it's still the best way we know how to do things, and until another better way comes along it's all we have.
I hope that one day they find a few different treatments that are far more effective than what we have. I lost a friend to cancer just 2 months ago and it's horrible. But going on about conspiracy theories and cover-ups instead of examining the facts doesn't do honour to those who have died or are suffering with cancer. Instead pushing on and doing the right things in the right way (as best as we currently know how) is the most prudent course of action. And hopefully we will find the treatments needed to deal with cancer and other diseases. Who knows, maybe at the end of all of this DCA turns out to be one of those treatments. I would personally be elated if it is!
Well said, and I couldnt agree more with your last sentence. I will even elaborate on it a bit. I could care less if its DCA or ABC or any other
3 letters they want to call it; the sooner they find a cure for this ugly disease the world will be a happier place. I can only hope a cure isnt found and hidden/kept from the world simply because a big company is more interested in making a buck then making a difference in the world.
