Re: Scientists cure cancer, but no one takes notice

 Canadian researchers find a simple cure for cancer, but major pharmaceutical companies are not interested.

I am not surprised, but not simply because it is a cure.  First of all according to the article above they said it has only been used in cell cultures and mice.  This does not mean it will do the same in the human body.  More importantly are a few incorrect statements they are making in their explanation.  

First of all they claim the cells in the center of the tumor are starved of oxygen, which causes them to switch to glycolysis to survive.  This is COMPLETE malarky!  The cells on the surface of a malignant tumor are just as malignant as the cells in the center of the tumor.  In addition, they are totally ignoring the angiogenesis (blood vessel formation) stimulated by compounds such as vascular endothelial growth factor.  The tumor does this to provide a source of glucose to feed on and as a means to send out angiogenesis inhibitors to suppress their competition.  But the glucose it feeds on is in the same blood coming through those blood vessels carrying oxygen.  In other words if those cells in the center are feeding on glucose then this means there are blood vessels providing oxygen rich blood to these same cells.  So their hypothesis is bogus.

The second bogus claim they make is that the lactic acid generated by the glycolysis breaks down the tissues allowing the cancer cells to spread.  This is just more alkalinizing propaganda.  Lactic acid has NOTHING to do with this.  Instead, cancer cells use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to metastasize.  Hyaluronidase breaks down a substance called hyaluronic acid (HA).  HA is what "cements" our cells together.  So think of HA as being the wall that keeps the cancer cells contained.  Hyaluronidase would be the sledge hammer that smashes the wall allowing the cancer cells to escape.  This is why in my Cancer write up I include myrrh in the formula since it is a hyaluronidase inhibitor.

If lactic acid caused the breakdown of tissues then we would not have much tissue left considering how much lactic acid is generated by the flora in the mouth, colon, vagina, skin and nasal cavity.  Then there is all the lactate built up in the blood during strenuous activity.  How do they explain there being anything left of marathon runners after finishing a race since all that lactate should be breaking their tissues down?

If they really want to be taken seriously about dichloroacetate (DCA) being effective for cancer then they really need to stop making up their own version of facts about cancer.  Making stuff up about how cancer forms and spreads simply calls all of their other claims in to question.
