The cure was discovered by scientists at the University of Alberta,
in Edmonton, Canada. The cure uses a dichloroacetate, a simple drug used
to treat metabolic disorders. Because it's so simple, it had no side
effects and also requires no patent. Therefore, it is relatively cheap
(at least in comparison to current cancer treatments) and will actually
cure cancer rather than warding it off.
Also because of the fact that it can't be patented, it's hard to make
a large profit off of it. Due to this, pharmaceutical companies won't
touch it, because it doesn't help their pockets.This is why this
discovery isn't being celebrated and making front-page headlines.
The hope is that independent companies can perfect this cure and
manufacture it for the patients that desperately need it. It will be
difficult going against a a major lobbyist business interest such as the
pharmaceutical industry who have their hands deep in politicians'
pockets, but the more the public becomes aware of this great discovery,
the less can be done against it.
