Cheap cancer cures in our diet

Thanks to Kelly's comments on my last post for two tips. I see she also had treatment in London....

1) We knew about resveratrol, but had been getting it from red wine at over £3 a bottle and red grapes at £5 a kilo. Seems the supplements are a far cheaper source. What a shame, we even visitited a vineyard last week and were getting into wine! This article claims the supplement may be not only cheaper but better

I know Nottingham University are looking at resveratrol as an arthritis and cancer cure, here is a UK based NHS trial of its use against cancer.

2) We were unaware of DCA. Seems it could be another wonder drug, but lacking big pharma support as it cannot be patented. It has a whole discussion forum here.

Its sale as a cancer cure was banned in the US by the FDA, but is now available again. I do note that it may cause liver cancers, so take care!

It is interesting that DCA may be only slowly developed as big pharma has no interest in a drug that cannot be patented. Rings true to me, which is also why we have taken so much info from University Professors, who do not have such a profit motive in their work and research.
