DCA, the cancer drug that companies had no interest in testing: Ordinary people step up to fund the first trials

Even though the drug shrinks cancerous tumours, no pharmaceutical companies wanted to fund human trials because they couldn't make enough money selling it. And that's when Peace River stepped in.

Even though the drug shrinks cancerous tumours, no pharmaceutical companies wanted to fund human trials because they couldn't make enough money selling it. And that's when Peace River stepped in.

DCA has been in use for decades. But it has recently been shown to fight cancer by attacking the metabolism of malignant tumours in studies on rats.
(CBC)

To date, the town in northwestern Alberta has collected $250,000 — a large chunk of the $800,000 in grants and donations generated worldwide to fund the clinical trial of dichloroacetate, or DCA.

DCA has been in use for decades. But it has recently been shown to fight cancer by attacking the metabolism of malignant tumours in studies on rats.

In January 2007, the academic journal Cancer Cell published a University of Alberta doctor's findings that showed the compound shrinks tumours without damaging healthy cells. But because the drug sells for so little, at $2 a dose, no drug company was willing to support human trials and DCA's patent expired.

So people in Peace River began their fundraising campaign.


Cancer therapy cuts side effects

Scientists say they have developed a way to deliver lethal drug doses to tumours without causing side-effects, such as nausea and hair loss.

The Australian team has used nanotechnology to create tiny particles which specifically attack cancer cells, but leave healthy tissue unaffected.

The particles - or mini-cells - are tagged with anti-cancer antibodies so they zero in on their target.

The research features in the journal Cancer Cell. It is hoped the technique could treat tumours in the breast, ovaries, colon and lungs.

So far it has been used in mice and dogs, and the researchers plan to begin human trials shortly.


Are Cancer Cures Being Hidden From the Public?

According to a 2005 poll reported by the American Cancer Society, 27% of Americans agree with the statement: "There is currently a cure for cancer but the medical industry won't tell the public." Another 14 percent are uncertain.

If a cheap and effective cure for cancer appeared, hospitals would go out of business, collapsed by the debt they incurred for the expensive diagnostic and treatments systems they purchased. There is a huge financial incentive to develop continuous treatments rather than one-time cures. This is why nobody is searching for a cure for the common cold, because there is far more money to be made off of cold TREATMENTS. Nobody wants to cure AIDS; they want to TREAT it, continuously, for however many years the patient remains alive.


Local business stops online sales of cancer drug

A local pest control company that made international headlines selling an unapproved cancer drug online stopped doing so when agents from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Criminal Investigations in Oakland visited Sonora last month.

The fact that the drug is proven to shrink tumors is, of course, irrelevant. The problem is that it's INEXPENSIVE, and therefore a threat to the multi-billion dollar cancer industry in the US.

Cannabis compound slows lung cancer in mice

The active compound in marijuana, THC, can slow the growth of lung tumours and reduce the spread of the cancer in mice, a preliminary study reveals.

Of course, the cancer industry, making the payments on those really expensive machines and drugs, will never allow something this simple and cheap to reach the marketplace.

What this article fails to mention is that the nicotine in cigarettes, which was artificially boosted by tobacco companies to make cigarettes more addictive, suppresses the body's ability to remove damaged cells. Hence, the cancer cells being created by the Polonium from the cheap fertilizers were left to grow unchecked.

La grippe aviaire: une aubaine pour "Big Chicken" *


La crise de la grippe aviaire continue de faire rage. Il y a un an, alors que les gouvernements s’entêtaient à mettre en place des équipes de surveillance dans les zones humides et que l’Organisation pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) montrait d’un doigt accusateur l’abondante volaille élevée à la ferme en Asie et en Afrique, GRAIN et d’autres groupes faisaient remarquer que c’était bien l’élevage de volaille industriel à large échelle et le commerce mondial de la volaille qui propageaient la grippe aviaire - et non les oiseaux sauvages ou ceux de basse-cour. Aujourd’hui, tout le monde le sait, même si on ne fait pas grand chose pour contrôler la source industrielle du problème, et les gouvernements continuent à débiter impudemment la théorie de l’oiseau sauvage afin d’échapper à leurs responsabilités. Il y a à peine quelques semaines, les autorités moscovites ont attribué aux oiseaux migrateurs un cas de grippe aviaire aux abords de la ville – au beau milieu de l’hiver russe.

Cependant, un aspect bien plus sinistre de la crise de la grippe aviaire commence à devenir plus apparent. L’année dernière, nous alertions sur le fait que la grippe aviaire servait à favoriser les intérêts de puissantes compagnies, mettant en danger les moyens d’existence et la santé de millions de personnes. Aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, l’agrobusiness utilise cette calamité pour consolider ses chaînes alimentaires ferme-usine-supermarché alors que ses concurrents des petites fermes sont criminalisés. De leur côté, les sociétés pharmaceutiques exploitent les bonnes volontés investies dans la base de données mondiale des échantillons de grippe pour profiter des marchés captifs prêts à tout pour avoir des vaccins. Deux agences des Nations Unies – la FAO et l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS) – sont au centre de cette affaire, utilisant leur stature internationale, l’accès aux gouvernements et le contrôle sur les financements des donateurs pour favoriser les programmes des compagnies.

Mise à mort du secteur de l’élevage à petite échelle.

This list is from 2003, but it's a good starting point.


US to Meatpackers: Don't Do Mad Cow Test

The Bush administration said Tuesday it will fight to keep meatpackers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease.

The Agriculture Department tests less than 1 percent of slaughtered cows for the disease, which can be fatal to humans who eat tainted beef. But Kansas-based Creekstone Farms Premium Beef wants to test all of its cows.

Larger meat companies feared that move because, if Creekstone tested its meat and advertised it as safe, they might have to perform the expensive test, too.

Forgive me, but isn't this the same administration which said the other day that China should open its doors to US beef?

What is this administration - and larger cattle operators - so terrified of regarding this testing, if our cattle food chain is so safe?


The new rules of imperialism: Economic warfare, consumer products and disease exports


Wal-Mart threatens to sue independent lab that found toxins in its toys

Wal-Mart Attacks Lab Tests that Found Lead, Chromium in Pet Toys

The people who were all gung-ho to jail Zundel often said that even if what Zundel said was true, it was still against the law to say it, and thus he should go to jail. Even one of the judges at Zundel's trial in Germany said that truth was not a defense.

So now we see the fallout from such a principle. A lab has found toxic materials in products sold by Wal-Mart. The toxins are unquestionable there, and it was the lab's job to report them, but still Wal-Mart is suing to silence them. Again, the fact that the defendant is telling the truth is no longer a defense.


Nationwide Revolt Against Dangerous Vaccines Accelerates

Concerned parents across the U.S. are leading a nationwide revolt against unnecessary, untested and dangerous vaccines as CDC records show a growing amount of religious exemptions on vaccine forms, following a media blitz by Jenny McCarthy in which she blamed a vaccine for causing her son's autism.

Far from the biased and prejudiced context in which the Associated Press headline framed it - 'Parents take a shot at lying on vaccine forms' - the move comes as a result of increased understanding and education about the dangers of vaccines.

Most recently, actress and model Jenny McCarthy's appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show and numerous other prime time TV programs has spurred women to seriously investigate the link between autism in babies and young children and vaccinations.








Texas Governor Perry took Merck money before mandating cervical vaccine

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) says that it's just a coincidence that he and eight other lawmakers received donations of $5,000 each from Merck lobbyists just a few days before mandating the drug giant's HPV cervical cancer vaccine for all females in Texas ages 12 and up.

Serious Bowel Problems Reported in 28 U.S. Babies After Getting RotaTeq Vaccine

The FDA today announced that 28 U.S. babies reportedly developed a potentially deadly bowel problem after getting the RotaTeq vaccine.

The babies developed intussusception, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition in which the intestine gets blocked or twisted.

XDR TB in South Africa traced to lack of drug susceptibility testing

In South Africa, the 2001 implementation of the World Health Organization’s anti-tuberculosis program may have inadvertently helped to create a new strain of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB). In a new study published in the December 1 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, currently available online, researchers tracked the developing drug resistance of one particular strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis over 12 years. They found that at the time of the 2001 adoption of the DOT+ strategy for multi-drug resistant strains, the strain was already resistant to one or more of the drugs mandated by that strategy, thus allowing the strain to survive and develop resistance to additional drugs.

The WHO does make mistakes. Many researchers remain convinced that the AIDS virus was accidentally created by the smallpox vaccinations program, during which cowpox from cows infected with bovine leukemia virus was cultured using livers from sheep infected with the Visna virus. The AIDS virus resembles a merging of the Leukemia and Visna viruses and contains characteristics of both.

Shot may be inadvertently boosting superbugs

A vaccine that has dramatically curbed pneumonia and other serious illnesses in children is having an unfortunate effect: promoting new superbugs that cause ear infections.

On Monday, doctors reported discovering the first such germ that is resistant to all drugs approved to treat childhood ear infections. Nine toddlers in Rochester, N.Y., have had the germ and researchers say it may be turning up elsewhere, too.

Please take a good, hard look at the cost/benefit ratio on various vaccinations your health care professional wants to give your kids, and be armed with the info when you walk through that health care professional's door.

I am creating artificial life, declares US gene pioneer







'Frankenstein farming' fears


Carol Tucker Foreman, of the Consumer Federation of America, said the FDA was ignoring research showing cloning results in more animal deaths and deformities than other reproductive technologies.

Years ago, I was a consultant for an Amiga software company that was driven out of business when a virus that was too new to be detected by their anti-virus system got into their company and onto the master disk for a new game. The master disk went to duplication and every single copy of the game had the virus on it. The company was driven out of business. Thanks hackers. Thanks a whole bunch.

Now, let us suppose that the cow providing the master DNA for a cloning operation carries a disease that can be transferred to humans, similar to Mad Cow, but so new that none of the standard tests detects it. That cow gets duplicated a few million times, and every copy carries this new disease. Because of the cloning, this new disease appears suddenly all over the nation, not just one or two isolated spots as would be the case with a natural disease process.

Or, since nobody will spend the money to clone a normal cow, we can assume that the animal being cloned has already been tinkered with genetically to produce some desired trait, yet carries ancillary genetic damage undetected by the current tests.Cloning allows that genetic error to gain wide penetration into the human population before it presents itself.

Monsanto's GM corn MON863 shows kidney, liver toxicity in animal studies

Monsanto Dumped Toxic Waste in UK


Evidence has emerged that the Monsanto chemical company paid contractors to dump thousands of tonnes of highly toxic waste in British landfill sites, knowing that their chemicals were liable to contaminate wildlife and people. Yesterday the Environment Agency said it had launched an inquiry after the chemicals were found to be polluting underground water supplies and the atmosphere 30 years after they were dumped.

You just have to love how expendable people appear to be to a company like Monsanto.

GM crop failure a warning, says US adviser

The 10-year CSIRO trial was abandoned when tests found the peas were making mice seriously ill.

This brings us back to the collapse of bee colonies. The claim that cell phones are the cause is easily disproven by the fact that the collapse began in isolated pockets, then progressed state-to-state. Had cell phones been the cause, the collapses would have appeared everywhere simultaneously. So, we are back to looking at GM crops as the probable cause of the bee colony collapse.

USDA Finds Contaminants in Commercial Rice Supply

Investigators with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have found that trace amounts of genetically engineered rice made their way into two commercial varieties of long-grain rice, according to a USDA .

APHIS investigators also determined the agency did not need to pursue any further enforcement action against Bayer CropScience, which developed and field-tested the GE rice line. However, the USDA said it does plan to make some changes to better protect against any GE contamination in the future.

Translation: we know this happened, but are institutionally incapable of preventing this from happening in the future.

Also, we have absolutely no idea how this GE rice will affect humans, but will continue to allow Bayer CropScience to continue their work, even without knowing the risks.

Supplier Expands Beef Recall To 5.7 Million Pounds In E. Coli Scare

David Goldman, acting administrator of the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, announced on Saturday that the recall would be expanded to include products with sell-by dates from April 6-April 20. The beef, sold in 11 Western states, was distributed by California-based United Food Group LLC.

And all this while the FDA is reducing - not expanding - inspections that might keep the food chain more safe in this country.

If those sell-by dates are from April 6th throught April 20th, a good percentage of this meat has already made its way to consumers' freezers.

U.S. labs mishandling deadly germs

American laboratories handling the world's deadliest germs and toxins have experienced more than 100 accidents and missing shipments since 2003, and the number is increasing steadily as more labs across the country are approved to do the work.

The mishaps include workers bitten or scratched by infected animals, skin cuts, needle sticks and more, according to a review by The Associated Press of confidential reports submitted to federal regulators. They describe accidents involving anthrax, bird flu virus, monkeypox and plague-causing bacteria at 44 labs in 24 states. More than two-dozen incidents were still under investigation.

Coal-fired power stations 'poison fish with mercury'

Is your make-up killing you?

My lovely wife suffered severe joint pain for 8 years, pain that limited not only her ability to walk but her ability to perform music. After the doctors had wasted years (and a lot of money) failing to do anything but dope her up with pain pills, we finally realized that it was her cosmetics (and some household products) that were causing the pain through chemicals that would degrade into formaldehyde (embalming fluid) while sitting on the shelves.

Once we got all those chemicals out of our house, my wife's pain went away and she is once again able to walk without problems and perform her music.

And one more thing, ladies. Since I am happily married and don't intend to seduce any of you, I can be totally honest and tell you that we guys DON'T like all that paint and powder. We want to be with human beings, not painted dolls. Most guys won't say that on a date because they know if they do not admire the "artwork", their chances of "fullfillment" will decline.

Personally, I find it amusing that women who will decry the Arab practice of concealing a woman's face behind a cloth think nothing of concealing their own faces behind chemicals!

Lowest Food Supplies In 50-100 Years

Today, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its first projections of world grain supply and demand for the coming crop year: 2007/08. USDA predicts supplies will plunge to a 53-day equivalent- their lowest level in the 47-year period for which data exists. "The USDA projects global grain supplies will drop to their lowest levels on record. Further, it is likely that, outside of wartime, global grain supplies have not been this low in a century, perhaps longer," said NFU Director of Research Darrin Qualman.

In the US, HALF of all food produced is simply thrown away. That level of waste is not sustainable or conscionable.


UK Government lab blamed for foot-and-mouth

Blunders at a government-run laboratory have been blamed for last month's outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, which cost British farmers more than £30m. A combination of leaking pipes, rows over who should pay for repairs, poor checks on vehicles leaving the site and unexpected flooding was the most likely cause of the virus escaping, two official inquiries concluded in reports published yesterday.

Last night, farmers' leaders threatened legal action against the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs over the mistakes. Peter Kendall, of the National Farmers' Union, said he found it indefensible that standards were so lax, given that "those concerned were handling some of the most dangerous animal viruses on the planet".

The DNA from the two diseases fused into the HIV virus, which still shows similarity to both of the original viruses.

Killing us softly

LONDON (AFP) - Alcohol is nearly as harmful as heroin and tobacco is more dangerous than cannabis, LSD or ecstasy, according to a new classification table of drugs published in a medical journal Friday.

The table, published in The Lancet, was drawn up by a group of leading British scientists and ranked heroin, cocaine, barbiturates and street methadone as the most harmful drugs, closely followed by alcohol in fifth place.

Tobacco was assessed to be the ninth most dangerous drug behind ketamine -- commonly used as a horse tranquilizer -- benzodiazepines, which are prescription tranquillisers, and amphetamines.

Cannabis was said to be the 11th most harmful. LSD was ranked 14th and so-called "clubbers' drug" ecstasy in 18th, or third last, place.

The classifications were based on individual drugs' so-called "harm scores" -- the physical damage to the user; how likely the drug was to induce dependency; and the effect of its use on families, communities and society.

Top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than lead paint in Mattel toys

While it would be easy to dismiss this list as serving a particular group of products, the facts is that my wife and I personally experienced problems with many modern chemical products. My wife suffered strange joint pains for 8 years before we realized that she was reacting to formaldehyde precursors in her cosmetics and liquid soaps, and #18 regarding the dryer sheets is also accurate, as we figured out that sleeping on sheets that had been dried with a top-brand dryer sheet was the reason I kept waking up with migraine headaches.

The fact is that US companies are in many ways just as reckless as Chinese companies in regards to the safety of the chemicals they use in their products, and the FDA doesn't pay attention because it is assumed that the chemicals will not penetrate the skin. But this is silly because when you inhale a synthetic aroma, it gets past the skin and into your lungs.

Take a piece of raw garlic and rub it on the sole of your foot. In a few minutes, you will taste the garlic inside your mouth, This simple experiment proves that chemicals do indeed penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream.

Bionic Eyes Plug Directly into the Brain

Researchers have set their sights on bypassing the normal routes of bionics to hook video cameras deep into the brain, allowing the blind to see. The bionic eye system has already proved promising in monkeys.

The goal is to one day provide vision for blind people using twin video cameras worn as a pair of glasses that transmit signals wirelessly to an implant in the brain.

Decades of studies have tried to develop prostheses that restore sight. One approach generates images by electrically stimulating healthy neurons in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the inner eyeball , and thus mimic the effects of inbound light. The other aims to electrically stimulate cells in the cortex, the outer layer of the brain where visual signals are processed.


Brain interactions with RF/microwave fields generated by mobile phones

Neither radiofrequency (30 kHz-300MHz) nor microwave fields (300-3000 MHz) exist as significant components of the natural terrestrial electromagnetic environment. In consequence, our human generation is the first to voluntarily expose itself to artificial RF/microwave fields that cover a wide spectrum of frequencies and intensities. In general suburban environments, these newly introduced fields now have average intensities around 1 µW/cm2 (4V/m).

Typical mobile phones radiate an average power of 0.2-0.6 W. When hand-held and operated close to the head, background levels are sharply distorted, with 40 percent of radiated phone energy absorbed in the hand and the head ([Kuster et al., 1997]). In this mode of operation, a mobile phone may be regarded as a quite powerful radio transmitter. Its emission at the head surface is typically 10,000 times stronger than fields reaching the head of a user standing within
30 m of the base of a typical mobile phone relay transponder mounted on a tower 30m above ground.

Now isn't that better? Don't you feel a little better already? You've just taken the first step in deprogramming yourself. It wasn't that hard, was it? Until we speak again, try to keep it off. Now that will be a bit harder."
