Is dichloroacetic acid a cure for cancer?
Is it being suppressed by Big Pharma?

Short answer: No.
Thanks for playing!

That wretched hive of scum and villainy, New Scientist, wrote two articles on the topic:

NewScientist DID point out that the cancer pharmaceuticals industry couldn't make a buck, and would therefore be disinterested. Reporting on DCA was limited to NewScientist and Canadian media. Not a single Australian media outlet reported the ground-breaking discovery, for example. In my discussion with the Cancer Council in Au, I could not get them to admit that the research even existed.

And then there is tumor killing cannabis - another cheap treatment that can't be owned (TM)

PS: Glad you recognized the humor I deliberately wove into those comments, for the sake of those who actually take the time to read and think. cheers :)

"The Celebrated Doctrine of Atoms", an Ancient Egyptian Text that dates to several thousand years BC. The information it contains, makes Einstein look like an idiot. Advanced Atomic Theory dating at least 7,000 years BC. Feigned ignorance, regarding Great Pyramid when Stonehenge is a blatantly obvious key, explaining a simple conversion to base 10 math and eliminate the confusion of Pi by converting circles to 360 radian/degrees. Better then can possibly be imagined, see, Carl Munch videos

For you mphello, posted a complex affirmation. In spite of Socrates brilliant defense in the form an "Apology", wherein he repeatedly asserted his belief in God, he was convicted of Atheism.

= Have you ever heard of a conspiracy that you COULDN'T embrace?=

LOL! That is a sure sign of the self-deluded who cannot have their minds changed by evidence. Plus, the name, "waketheoblivious", where they pronounce themselves the great sole-savior-bringing-truth is a dead give-away, too.

That said, even THESE people deserve credit when they say something right.

Waketheo IS right to point out the evils of the catholic church. Of course, he veers off into bizarro land.

@waketheoblivious ROFL!  I know, I know - it is a serious subject. But, you DID say it in a very humorous manner.

c0nc0rdance; your library research is impeccable. You've said exactly what I've said: there will never be a cure for cancer (modulo solving the PDEs that govern the Schrodinger equation). So, why do you not complain about the many comments left here that challenge your research (statements of what is) but you complained about my political comment (a statement of what should be) regarding Texas?
