i saw this exact article. the author sounds like he bombed basic biology. mitochondria are not cells they are within cell organelles.

anyway, im not sure we are getting the full picture here, i know there must be draw backs to dca otherwise some doctor would be peddling the stuff and making alot of money curing people.

And it probably will happen, underground though, doctors would get roughed up if they started using it in their clinics unless some states started allowing its use against federal policy as is the case with medical cannabis. Pharm industry has the power to coerce doctors not to use these things. publicly.

Its not the first time that this shit has happened, here two similar stories:

Miracle cancer cure

In 2001, Nova Scotian Rick Simpson discovered that a cancerous spot on his skin disappeared within a few days of applying an essential oil made from marijuana. Since then, Simpson and others have treated thousands of cancer patients with incredible success. Researchers in Spain have confirmed that THC, an active compound in marijuana, kills brain-tumor cells in human subjects and shows promise with breast, pancreatic and liver tumors. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, meaning that it has no accepted medical use, unlike Schedule II drugs, like cocaine and methamphetamine, which may provide medical benefits. What a buzzkill.

Rife Devices

American inventor Royal Rife (his real name), in 1934, cured 14 "terminal" cancer patients and hundreds of animal cancers by aiming his "beam ray" at what he called the "cancer virus." So why isn't the Rife Ray in use today? Barry Lynes, in his 1987 book The Cancer Cure That Worked, details how Rife's invention was discredited by Morris Fishbein, the director of the American Medical Association (AMA), after his offers to buy a share of the technology were rebuffed, although this has never been proven and the AMA has denied it. A 1953 U.S. Senate special investigation concluded that Fishbein and the AMA had conspired with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to suppress various alternative cancer treatments that conflicted with the AMA's pre-determined view that "radium, x-ray therapy and surgery are the only recognized treatments for cancer."



And theres plenty more out there, but its like the article states, if pharm cannot patent it, it cannot bank on it. If the people can get it almost free, they cannot study the future value of the cure and thus will not risk investing in that project, and will even try to bury it by discrediting it or buying it(stock majority) and shuting it down simply because it would be so good a cure that pharm would lose the market in a blink. Don't expect this cure to get anywhere, the article even says its being supressed already, that means pharm is moving behind stage

Cannabis Shrinks Tumors: Government Knew in 74
Researchers in Madrid announced they had destroyed incurable brain cancer tumors in rats by injecting them with THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.

Most Americans don't know anything about the Madrid discovery. Virtually no U.S. newspapers carried the story, which ran only once on the AP and UPI news wires.

The ominous part is that this isn't the first time scientists have discovered that THC shrinks tumors. In 1974 researchers at the Medical College of Virginia, who had been funded by the National Institute of Health to find evidence that marijuana damages the immune system, found instead that THC slowed the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice -- lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced leukemia. The DEA quickly shut down the Virginia study and all further cannabis/tumor research...

The FDA has their own copshops and more power than many realize. They also go after herbs, roots and leaves of non psychoactive plants. If it ain't white powder its renewable competition.

The FDA vs Raw Milk and the Constitution

The FDA essentially believes that nobody has the right to choose what to eat or drink. You are only “allowed” to eat or drink what the FDA gives you permission to. There is no inherent right or God-given right to consume any foods from nature without the FDA’s consent.

This is no exaggeration. It’s exactly what the FDA said in its own words.

You have no natural right to food

Big Dairy behind push to eliminate raw milk

This is the FDA trying to run rampant over States’ rights. The federal government, after all, isn’t satisfied to exercise control over the limited powers granted to it by the U.S. Constitution — it wants to overthrow the tenth Amendment and dictate rules, regulations and laws that the states are being forced to follow.

This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbids the federal government from intruding on the laws of individual states, and is only allowed to wield powers expressly granted to it by the Constitution (powers granted by the People, in other words).

"Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system."

In the RAW

In an exclusive interview with Good Times,
Robert Anton Wilson reflects on a world gone mad

GT: Concerning the battle between the states and the feds over medical marijuana?

RAW: The 10th Amendment says very clearly that powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are reserved to the states and the people. It seems very clear that 55 percent of the voters in California voted to let me have marijuana for my leg pains and the state agreed, but then the Attorney General of the United States said, “Well that doesn’t count.” States have no rights. The people have no rights.



If... the machine of government...
is of such a nature that it requires you
to be the agent of injustice to another,
then, I say, break the law.
~ Henry David Thoreau,
On the Duty of Civil Disobediance, 1849

The reason for the crackdown on buyers clubs is obvious. They are set to re-schedule THC solely for the sublingual spray's and want no competition from homegrown. Keeping Ganja and Hemp from taking Wall St. non-renewable synthetic profits. The USA! Qaeda Terrorizing sick people on tax dollars. It's bad enough when they terrorize sick people but to make them pay for it? That surely is anti-American.

D.E.A. Confirms Grounds To Remove Marijuana From Sched#1 - 10/14/01
On December 19th, DEA formally asked the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct "a scientific and medical evaluation of the available data and provide a scheduling recommendation" for marijuana and other cannabinoid drugs. This DEA request of HHS means that the DEA has for the first time made its own determination that sufficient grounds exist to remove marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Schedule I is supposed to be limited to hard drugs with addictive propensities and with no legitimate medical usage.

That's as far as it went. The IOM is still in file #13...

Is The DEA Legalizing THC?
* Con Flicts of Interest Bush Barthwell & Bayer
So, in other words, if a pharmaceutical product contains THC extracted from the marijuana plant, that would be a legal commodity. But if you or I possessed THC extracted from the marijuana plant, that would remain an illegal commodity.

DCA is so easy to make it can't be patented, and thus it is impossible for anyone to get any return on an investment into further research. aside from that the link you posted is a gross oversimplification. even though it works on a single range of slow-growing cultures in a petri dish (as with dozens of other methods) and has been shown to reduce perfused tumor size in rats, it has inconsistent results. a clinical trial on its effects on brain cancer ended recently without having published results yet.

also if you go to my university's website (University of Alberta - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) you will notice that nobody has claimed to have cured cancer, as all of the most interesting research is posted on the front page.

also in recent years people have been marketing dca as a cancer cure and selling fake dca via the internet. it is super-mad-sketchy and relies on the false hope of dying people for profit.

thanks CC.


I was relying on by bs detection skills more than scientific evidence.

but It does bring up the discussion of who the AMA is really trying to help, and the necessity to doubt any and all findings/determinations they make, as it is just another front for the American Corporatocracy.


Corporatocracy, in social theories that focus on conflicts and opposing interests within society, denotes a system of government that serves the interest of, and may be run by, corporations and involves ties between government and business. Where corporations, conglomerates, and/or government entities with private components, control the direction and governance of a country, including carrying out economic planning notwithstanding the 'free market' label.

Actually, mitochondria once were their own cells, and have been absorbed into the eukaryotes. That's why mitochondria have their own DNA. The are the powerplants of nucleic cells, so if they are triggered off the cell will starve to death.

Not sure how it turns into a 'cancer-fighting' cell, though.

Unfortunately there are myriad charlatans professing to have the cure for cancer, mostly with the aim of conning the desperate.

Weed is a most effective palliative though, especially for those in chemo (I'm sure of this- I've grown weed for chronic cancer sufferers).
I've read a lot of articles saying THC may have preventative properties but I think more research needs to be done.

i know how that works. apotosis inducing chemicals are contained within the mitochondria. normally the mitochondria contain the chemicals, but when something triggers the apoptotic pathway it causes changes in prteins on the mitochondrias outer membrane causing it to open a type of protein channel and release its contents into the cytoplasm. theres alot to it, im not trying to remember the whole pathway and all the possible triggers, but i did find a video that kinda makes it simple.

apotosis video

i hated cell biology, all the proteins are hard to remember. alot are just 3 letters and a number like bcl-1 or brca-1. p53, p16. ya like i can remember all those

I do remember something about Steve McQueen dying of cancer while receiving mud pack cancer "cure".

edit: nope totally wrong...


...

Controversy arose over McQueen's Mexican trip, because McQueen sought a very non-traditional treatment that used coffee enemas, frequent shampoos, injection of live cells from cows and sheep, massage and laetrile, a supposedly "natural" anti-cancer drug available in Mexico, but not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. McQueen was treated by William Donald Kelley, whose only medical license had been (until it was revoked in 1976) for orthodontics.[55] Kelley's methods created a sensation in both the traditional and tabloid press when it became known that McQueen was a patient.[56][57] Despite metastasis of the cancer to much of McQueen's body, Kelley publicly announced that McQueen would be completely cured and return to normal life. However, McQueen's condition worsened and "huge" tumors developed in his abdomen.[55] In late October 1980, McQueen flew to Ciudad Juárez to have the five-pound abdominal tumors removed, despite the warnings of his U.S. doctors that the tumor was inoperable and that his heart would not withstand the surgery.[52][55] McQueen checked into a Juarez clinic under the assumed name of "Sam Shepard" where doctors at the small, low-income clinic were unaware of his real identity. McQueen died of cardiac arrest one day after an operation to remove a large tumor from his neck. A following article in the El Paso Times noted that right before his death he awoke and asked for some ice and then passed.

Shortly before his death, McQueen had given a medical interview in which he blamed his condition on asbestos exposure.[58] While McQueen felt that asbestos used in movie soundstage insulation and race-drivers' protective suits and helmets could have been involved, he believed his illness was a direct result of massive exposure while removing asbestos lagging from pipes aboard a troop ship during his time in the Marines.[59][60]

A memorial service was presided over by Leonard DeWitt of the Ventura Missionary Church.[39][40] McQueen was cremated, and his ashes spread in the Pacific Ocean.[61]


one hell of an actor tho.
