Actually I'm not sure if I moved this to the right place, either. I saw the subject line and moved it before I actually clicked on the link. LOL
I can leave it here if you think it fits....

LOL! Ya, either way dear...unless you wanna change this to Health and Fitness? Either way I think this works fine. I just thought the video very interesting and wanted to share...maybe Cerd would like to take a gander too.
I really like the idea of starving cancer with good, healthy, wholesome foods.

That's very interesting too...I didn't see anything on potential side effects of the drug though. Granted, it's still new and in the experimental phase, but this looks promising.
However, this "Dr.Michelakis and his team at the University of Alberta have been heavily researching the effects of DCA on non-human models since 2007." troubles me.
I'm an animal lover and can't help but wonder, are they giving animals cancer in order to find a cure? I just wonder what sort of models are they using...I know, some would say for the better good of humanity and all that. I guess I'm stuck, as a survivor, I want a cure because no one should have to go through the horrors of having cancer, but it hurts to have knowledge that other animals are being hurt in the process.
However...that's another cause (and another thread) entirely. LOL
Thanks for the link!!!!

I see your point, animals shouldn't have to endure unnessesary pain/torment.
one would hope that any treatment or exprimentation was conducted under consideration of the animals well being. Also animals get cancer like we do, these tests may have saved some of them, something like this would be an amazing new discovery and should get the attention it deserves to save lives instead of filling somebodies bank account.
