As many of you know, I run a DCA petition. To sign it, please see the DCA section of my blog. I now have over 600 confirmed signatories. While reviewing the data, I found that the comments were fascinating. I’m posting them below with the names obfuscated for obvious reasons.

| We need to have other treatments available to us that aren’t cancer causing such as chemotherapy and radiation |
April 7, 2015 |
| Everyone should have the freedom to choose their own treatment plan. DCA should be thoroughly tested so that patients know that it is safe and effective. |
March 1, 2015 |
| Cancer needs a cure!!!! Our lives should not have a dollar value!!! |
February 28, 2015 |
| Its time we place the value of life above that of money. |
February 18, 2015 |
| Please help the adoption of DCA as an additional form of cancer treatment, by supporting any and all trials that are to take place. |
February 5, 2015 |
| The government has spent money on far worse things than a possible cure for cancer. |
January 29, 2015 |
| Why can we not see to doing the right thing, getting past the economic greed and the machine of medicine and excessive profits and move onto working on other issues. |
December 16, 2014 |
| same thing happened when we found a cure for our son’s "terminal" asthema. Neither asthema specialists nor Cdn Asthema Soc would even talk to us. Guess it’s because there was no money in a cure. |
December 15, 2014 |
| Canada is a highly developed country should be ashamed not to allocate money for the research of this anti-cancer treatment and only for the reason that it is not profitable. |
November 25, 2014 |
| We need more government money for research of alternative treatment of cancer or maybe crowd funding. |
November 25, 2014 |
| Time to research something other than chemo and radiation which works very poorly at best. |
November 6, 2014 |
| Please please let the use of DCA for different cancers |
November 4, 2014 |
| This has the ability to save lives! Lest start acting on this drug! Even if it has just a small chance of working.. That’s more then enough to save a life |
November 2, 2014 |
| Time for government to disconnect from controlling greed of the medical industry and its captive money making control of research. Support clinical trails that impact millions of people. |
October 30, 2014 |
| Family members have passed away from cancer and I and/or my children could be next. In the interest of medicine and informed patient choice I am very supportive of clinical trials being undertaken on DCA regardless of whether or not it is patentable. |
October 27, 2014 |
| Chemo and oil…both need to be released examined |
October 21, 2014 |
| My company has partnered with large Pharma and I would never rule out the power of the lobbyist in Canada or the U.S and the unfathomable self serving nature of Big Pharma and fund raising associations. I want DCA recognized as a cancer patient and a taxpayer and a voter. |
October 5, 2014 |
| I think thatif drug companys will not do trials that the government and or cancer society should pay for them and and subsidize production. |
October 1, 2014 |
| I saw that report and was disgusted by what I heard. They are not looking for a cure. The pharmaceuticals just want to treat cancer and make money. |
September 21, 2014 |
| This treatment was working for my niece – shrinking an inoperable tumour,but her doctor refused to supervise it & she when stopped taking it too soon the cancer came back. |
September 20, 2014 |
| hhusband has extensive small cell lung cancer. can he be helped with dca |
September 1, 2014 |
| we need to get rid of chemo |
August 20, 2014 |
| the government must take the lead |
May 26, 2014 |
| Please stop running from every cure, it’s time. |
May 21, 2014 |
| a patients Health should be the first concern and not profit |
April 27, 2014 |
| this is a no brainer |
April 26, 2014 |
| Too many children are dying while our government looks the other way. Be a proper government for all. |
April 25, 2014 |
| DCA has helped me and others I know with brain tumors. |
March 27, 2014 |
| This needs to be done |
March 26, 2014 |
| Pourquoi en Ontario et pas au Quebec? |
February 3, 2014 |
| Sauvons des vies |
February 2, 2014 |
| I am happy to sign the petition |
January 6, 2014 |
| It’s time to consider people over profits our government should be ashamed. |
December 29, 2013 |
| I am 46 years old and have terminal recurrent metastatic ovarian cancer. After conventional chemo failed and I didn’t qualify for PARP trials, I am treating myself with DCA + vitamin B1. Canadian Cancer Society’s perspective on DCA posted on October 31st, 2013 is a weak attempt to cover their collective behind. |
December 1, 2013 |
| As the old saying goes "together we can make a difference". |
November 25, 2013 |
| Treating myself for leukemia, feeling much better |
November 22, 2013 |
| Together We can Cure Cancer! |
November 21, 2013 |
| I have myself seen my dying mom had her cancer pain relieve on using DCA. Please do not let a promising cancer treatment fall a victim of corporate profits. Allow DCA treatment. |
September 29, 2013 |
| Give people the chance to try to save their lives. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain if it works. |
August 27, 2013 |
| I am a recent rectal cancer patient |
August 27, 2013 |
| I’m signing this petition to support alternative cancer treatment for people such as my sister who has been fighting the disease that has been untouched by other methods. |
August 24, 2013 |
| This research needs to be funded. |
August 19, 2013 |
| Please consider funding this research for Cancer |
August 14, 2013 |
| Stop the madness |
July 31, 2013 |
| I have known about DCA for several years after the studies were done at the University of Alberta and I believe it is all about money that drug companies and the Cancer Society would stand to lose if the gov’t gave DCA the go ahead. Shame on them all!! |
July 31, 2013 |
| When we make people more important then the almighty $, then we might begin the the true spiritual journey on the road to fulfillment. |
July 31, 2013 |
| The government better step up on this as the average Cdn. is on their last nerve of tolerance with this government. |
July 19, 2013 |
| LET US try DCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
July 10, 2013 |
| When you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, which is very probable you realize that any delay is totally unacceptable. This is exactly what government is for |
June 6, 2013 |
| Maybe the Senate can donate the money |
May 22, 2013 |
| Please go forward with this.Could we not have a drug that does not make millions for the drug company. Canadians will support this effort and what about insurance companys they stand to save millions. Thanks Don Davey |
May 8, 2013 |
| I have gone through breast cancer at the age of 36 and won…but if the time comes again that i have to fight i am ready.I should have the right to choose any treatment i wish to fight for my life….if the treatment that is being given to me is not working then i should have the option….If I do not have the option to try everything I can,you may as well just put a gun to my head…I would rather die fighting than just to give up and die!!! No one should have the right to deny someone a chance to live…I call that murder.Please help the fight against cancer.You would want it for your loved ones if they needed it… |
April 30, 2013 |
| Money hungry BUMS ! |
April 30, 2013 |
| RIP Dad, Grandpa, Aunt Deb & Aunt Melanie…. Wish this had of been deemed an option for you back when it would of been useful. <3 |
April 30, 2013 |
| Saving a life is priceless. Just get over the fact you won’t make money and start saving lives. |
April 30, 2013 |
| Informed consent in place of an MD’s signature would effectively enhance one’s control over one’s own body and elliminate nefarious activity. |
April 30, 2013 |
| this is insane. i bet the drug companies and governments n their families have this cure at their doorstep when needed. |
April 29, 2013 |
| They all ready have the money for this! This effects the whole of Canada. People out side of Canada pay. The people in Saint John area has the highest rate of CANCER! |
April 29, 2013 |
| This can cure people -They have nothing to lose by trying it -I think it would save a lot of lives -Government just too cheap to put it out there -cause they won’t make the big bucks -Shame on you !! |
April 29, 2013 |
| Our lives shouldn’t have a price tag! If there is a cure, we have a right to be treated and cured! |
April 29, 2013 |
| i started a facebook page if you want to put your petition on there |
April 29, 2013 |
| This could save my mom. Let her have a chance. |
April 13, 2013 |
| We all deserve the right for other treatments. I want all the choices available to me without it being a big deal. It is MY body, MY health, MY choice. |
April 11, 2013 |
| Shame on the Federal Government for taking DCA off our shelves, for failing to act in the best interests of Canadians, for failing to maintain medical research and in the long run save us Millions and countless lives! Gotta wonder if the Feds have stocks in Big Pharmas. SHAME! You do NOT deserve MY vote! |
April 9, 2013 |
| Too many are being diagnosed with Cancer(s) and feel they have little to no recourse but undergo chemo etc. They *have* choices and DCA is one of them. |
April 3, 2013 |
| I have had many family and loved ones taken by cancer. Refusing to allow a proven cure for cancer to be delivered to the public because it is not profitable is disgusting and puts money above human life!! All efforts should be placed behind DCA research and any other known cures. |
March 6, 2013 |
| This NEEDS to available to people. My husband is dying of brain cancer and wants the chance to watch out kids grow up. We just had a baby, shes 4 months old. Its not fair that she will grow up without her daddy!! If he could have the treatment he would be able to watch the kids grow up. Please dont keep this from us |
February 22, 2013 |
| the Canadian government should be investing some of our tax dollars to fund research on new drugs such as DCA which show such good results for Cancer cure. Traditional Cancer medication and treatment is presently costing Canadians a lot of money which have devastating results on the human body. our aim should be to cure cancer not to make cancer patients sicker than they are. we need to wake up and look at alternatatives to Chemo and Radiation as the only treatment. I am a cancer patient and a DCA user. |
January 30, 2013 |
| give this a chance. save lives. |
January 1, 2013 |
| the media should be on this. and keep on it. and get big pharma to produce. life is bigger than a dollar. |
December 6, 2012 |
| The People of Canada have a right to full access of this inexpensive cure for cancer, This is a moral imperative and there is not excuse for blocking it, seeing as so many people die from cancer every year. |
December 5, 2012 |
| Let’s spend the money it takes to find a cure for cancer instead of continually supporting pharmaceutical companies to make drugs to treat and counter the effects of symptoms thereby making billions of dollars in profit. |
December 2, 2012 |
| Why was this only on the news ONCE? Where are our Alberta politicians? This could be a significant way for the U of A to contribute to mankind. I’d vote to use money from our Heritage Fund to pay for the clinical trials. |
December 2, 2012 |
| This needs much more publicity |
December 1, 2012 |
| This should be tested properly. |
November 30, 2012 |
| Let health be the driving force, not special interests and short term monetary goals |
November 30, 2012 |
| this should at least be tested and proven effective or not… so many people are suffering I see it first hand as a Palliative Nurse |
November 28, 2012 |
| This is a necessity and stifling this research is not Canadian. |
November 27, 2012 |
| There are lots of Millionaires that should/could donate to studies. |
November 26, 2012 |
| here is your chance to shine Stephen Harper. |
November 24, 2012 |
| Fund it |
November 24, 2012 |
| I have had breast cancer, diagnosed in 2010. |
November 22, 2012 |
| Dont let big business / big pharma dictate your course of treatment for patients. Patients will start figuring out ways to get their hands on better treatments, legal or not, outside this country, etc. When survival is at stake we become creative.. why not ateastake a marginal profit, than have people going outside the system? |
November 21, 2012 |
| My dad is fighting esophageal cancer and is losing 🙁 , we’ve been through chemo and radiation and nothing has worked, now it’s just palliative care at home… it makes me sick to see that there is a potential cure that can help end his suffering and that it is not being used..this hurts my heart to know that there are people so selfish and money hungry that they would sit back and let so many people suffer with this terrible disease |
November 21, 2012 |
| This treatment has the promise to save lives as well as money, but clinical trials must be done to give it legitimacy. The federal and provincial governments should undertake to fund these trials. |
November 20, 2012 |
| ..this MUST happen!! |
November 19, 2012 |
| I am fed up with a nation that will not look at a simpler method of treating cancer. I recently had surgery and told the Jurvinsky Clinic where they could put there chemo and radiaiotn and pills. (and that was not in me) I refuse to believe that doing that much harm to our bodies can be helpful. Plus the fact that I found the doctors there to be callous and rude and completely lacking in compassion. I would not let a pet of mine be seen or treated there. Why not investigate a simpler less drastic method of curing cancer??? Because the pharmaceuticl companies cannot make money off of it. That is the problem in a nutshell.can be helpful. |
November 19, 2012 |
| Why is it taking so long??? |
November 18, 2012 |
| Please look into this Mr. Harper. This looks so very promising. A cure for at least some cancers! Possibly cancers that children often get! Is it really this hard to get studies done on a substance that has been around for many years? This is not right. Lets use some of our tax money, or at the very least the GST tax money that we never hear about how it is reducing our national debt. Thank you for taking the time to read and to do something about this exciting possibility of a potential cure for cancer! |
November 18, 2012 |
| As a 14 yr survivor of a very deadly type of cancer (3% survival rate), I feel it is imperative that clinical trials of DCA be conducted immediately by ANYONE. Don’t wait to support this cause until you or a loved one is faced with a devastating diagnosis of cancer. If DCA is a viable cure, it would be criminal not to make it available to cancer patients. |
November 18, 2012 |
| Please do the right thing and follow through with the research needed to bring this cure to the people .Just think of the health care savings we would have. |
November 18, 2012 |
| Remember, we are looking for the cure, not how to make money off the cure. We are human not Corporations. |
November 18, 2012 |
| This is the future, please get this started now!! |
November 18, 2012 |
| This is just a joke if this does not happen. Make money before saving someone’s life. Like my dads could of been saved. Lets get it done. |
November 18, 2012 |
| Don’t let a potential cancer fighting agent get lost because it doesn’t make a profit. Life is more important than money!!! |
November 17, 2012 |
| Too many lives lost, too many, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers….is making money more important than saving lives? |
November 17, 2012 |
| Cancer cured! |
November 16, 2012 |
| Eh! M. Harper show us now what’s important for you : Money or Peoples. |
November 15, 2012 |
| I have used DCA and it worked on my brain tumor |
November 1, 2012 |
| maybe put a ceiling of 50 million dollars on this? |
October 28, 2012 |
| It is time for the truth and stop Big Pharma from controling the health care system. People need to come first!!! |
October 28, 2012 |
| I think it’s time to value human life more than bank account! |
October 24, 2012 |
| Go for it, I am very tired of hearing about fund rasiers for cancer and wearing ribbons and growing mustache when there actualyl is a solution right here… |
October 21, 2012 |
| Please continue studies into DCA, so families will not have loved ones needlessly stolen from them. |
October 15, 2012 |
| As our Prime Minister you have a moral obligation to better the health care of Canadians. DCA theraphy will greatly improve the chances of survival of Canadian cancer patients. It may not help the profits of Big Pharma but it will significantly reduce health care costs for Canadian taxpayers. |

| Cancer has reached epidemic proportions. Research of ‘alternative’ treatments such as DCA as well as THC and CBD needs to become a priority in our fight against this horrible disease. The thought that funding for alternative treatment testing is not available because of lack of profit taking measures or legality issues is repulsive. It’s time to listen to the people. |
September 29, 2012 |
| There are no potential profits to incent the research of DCA. Therefore we need public funding to pursue the research to determine whether or not DCA is a viable cancer treatment drug. Please direct a portion of our tax dollars towards the research of this drug for cancer treatment! Thank you. |
September 20, 2012 |
| Let’s save lives! |

| Ça serait interessant que des vies soient sauvees plutôt que de ne penser qu’à l’argent! |
August 21, 2012 |
| DCA shows promise the Canadian people need to step up where big pharma wont |
August 14, 2012 |
| I have cancer. The only available treatment is chemotherapy which the oncolgist told me would only give me 2 – 5 years. I am desperate for an alternative. Please let me try DCA. |
August 14, 2012 |
| Please..take a stand for weak and vulnerable people fighting this terrible illness.It could be you. Support the research into DCA. For many people, its an affordable cure. Abandon your right wing agenda, and put ordinary Canadians before the profits of big pharma. |
August 12, 2012 |
| If you have cancer this should be made available,, |
August 10, 2012 |
| I am a huge supporter of this therapy. |
August 4, 2012 |
| I will obtain this for myself and my loved ones…. leave no stone unturned with this possible treatment/ cure! |
July 2, 2012 |
| Please approve this and help fund this for clincial trials and as a prescribed medication for people with cancer. |
June 20, 2012 |
| Get this drug mainstream, so much potential!! |
June 19, 2012 |
| It is well known that substances that occur naturally (thus not able to patent) are the most powerful and non-toxic substances to cure and promote health. The current drug company only financing of clinical trials has to end as anything natural will not reimburse them for their work. Can insurance companies in Canada fund trials as well. Lower death rates ultimately save them money. Health Canada should be involved as well. I want a portion of the health care premiums I pay each month to go to this type of research. It would be great if we had a choice as we do with charitable donations. |
June 18, 2012 |
| Le DCA est une grande decouverte pour le cancer! |
June 16, 2012 |
| IT is criminal that this is not being widely used for glioblastoma patients. |
June 15, 2012 |
| My father was on the DCA and we noticed great improvements. Why is the government trying to hide a cure???? |
June 4, 2012 |
| I know people that have died from cancer and that are living with cancer. To not get this discovery out to the masses is a crime against humanity. |
June 3, 2012 |
| We need to find a cure for this dreaded disease! |
May 31, 2012 |
| The ad next to your text was flashing and very distracting — don’t know if you can block this, thanks. |
May 30, 2012 |
| Help us find a cure for this. |
May 30, 2012 |
| Show us that you really care in finding a cure. |
May 29, 2012 |
| this DCA works I was diagnosed nov 2010 with lung,groin and bone cancer since taking DCA the cancer in my lungs is gone and the rest is still shrinking so I know it works without it I would already be dead |
May 29, 2012 |
| The DCA Works!! Share this petition with everyone you know and lets get everyone to sign it!! |
May 28, 2012 |
| come on people lets get this petition going..why not help out on a great thing. |
May 28, 2012 |
| The government should spend some money on trials for TCA we spend enough on tax’s Let’s everyone fight cancer. |
May 28, 2012 |
| The fact that this treatment is even in question for use gives absolute evidence to clearly demonstrate how our world system is not interested in peoples’ lives but profit only.The "concern" regarding preserving life is a facade.Too bad many do not believe greed will send one to hell.Considering that radiation and chemotherapy are both toxic to cancer cells and healthy cells as both treatment types leave a residual biochemical imprint that is toxic to the body as a whole, DCA is completely benign in comparison. DCA treatment is really a no brainer when you consider the atom structure. It makes sense.Sodium and double bonded oxygen as the transport atoms into the cell. 2 chlorine atoms and the salt of acetic acid (acetate) to dehydrate and then neutralize it.Makes sense. It is as simple a chemical structure as Aspirin.How much is a bottle of Aspirin? That is how little this treatment should cost? And Big pharma didn’t know this treatment worked? Please… Billions of dollars in cancer research and they couldn’t figure this one out? Stinks to high heaven. |
May 21, 2012 |
| I would like to see expedited clinical trials on this treatment occurring very soon. The lives that might be saved may be related to you… |
May 16, 2012 |
| let’s do this…we need to solve this for our children and their future children! |
May 16, 2012 |
| Why deny people the chance if it can help and not do harm, I want this chance for others and myself if need be. |
May 16, 2012 |
| If our Government won’t help then It is time for another Cancer Research org. to raise money to help fund research trials such a DCA that would benefit people and not The big Drug Companies. As a Cancer patient I get frustrated with the Doctors when you try to talk about alternative treatments and they basically shut you down and follow the states quot. Please tell everyone about this Petition and donate to Alternative Cancer research such as The Alberta University medical Research on Cancer or Medicor Cancer Center out of Toronto. Go after your Members of parliament, tell them we want the ability to chose it is our life make it accessible to us. Thank you for a new hope |
May 15, 2012 |
| Help for cancer is here without cemo, radiation and other harmful treatments. Funding for a larger study on DCA should have started years ago. Treatment cost pennies per person and no fundraising is required. If this treatment saves 1/10 people the government health care system would save millions per year. Please look at the studies that have been done and help the people in need. |
May 12, 2012 |
| After reading the material available regarding DCA, it strikes me as the Pascal’s wager of cancer. There is near absolutely nothing to lose, and something very genuine to gain. Let’s get this done for future generations. |
May 10, 2012 |
| This deeply touches my heart & soul. There should be no question financially. We just need to save each & every person with Cancer. My mom passed away fr it & now my brother has it.Ugh ! We gotta stop the sorrow. |
May 9, 2012 |
| It seems to me, that with the billions of dollars the Cancer Society collects, we ought to be able to fund our own support without "big pharma"! DCA won’t make them a big profit?WHO CARES! Lets do this through our own organization (Canadian Cancer Society)…we certainly have plenty of support already and with this DCA project up and running and working, it will certainly be the success story of all time for the Canadian Cancer Society…and isn’t that the reason why it exists anyhow? |
May 9, 2012 |
| Its time we put human compassion above power and greed! |
May 7, 2012 |
| I am an entertainer and motivational speaker from Toronto and I would like to let more people know about this drug. Anything I can do to help. Please let me know. |
May 7, 2012 |
| If this were something drug companies could make money on this wouldn’t be an issue. It’s be in production already. I think the Gov’t should have the balls to pick this up as a research project for the good of Canadians and cancer sufferers around the world… |
May 4, 2012 |
| Today I sign the petition to enact the treatment of DCA as it has too much proven positive outcomes for us not to give it to the Cancer populations at large. People have the right to know, people have the right to choose if they want it or not. Thank you. Marie Vander Heiden this day on May 3, 2012 |
May 3, 2012 |
| DCA has proven to be efficient! Please make it available to all. This is for LIFE! Thanks! |
May 3, 2012 |
| Seriously, this needs addressing! |
May 3, 2012 |
| We need this drug!!!!! enough is enough There is a cure for cancer. Why does it have to be about money. The Government and pharmaceutical companies why are you so greedy? Please let me know what to do to get this drug out there?? I have a few friends that need this drug. How do we get it for them!!!!! Please help us cure cancer forever!!!!!!Please keep in touch on how to get this drug. So I can tell others. |
May 1, 2012 |
| Please…. just please |
May 1, 2012 |
| So many people are desperate. Please make this happen. MAKE it a profitable drug if you have to. |
April 30, 2012 |
| It is time! Apart from the moral issue of withholding the possibility of a potential cure, consider the impact of medical expense pressure that cancer imposes on taxpayers and voters. Cancer is at epidemic proportions in our country. Fund the clinical trials and start saving lives and money. Again, it is time! |
April 30, 2012 |
| Please help end cancer |
April 27, 2012 |
| please find funding somewhere for the research needed into this anti cancer drug. |
April 26, 2012 |
| I want this treatment- NOW ! |
April 26, 2012 |
| My friend Bev and her husband Al are kind and loving people who deserve a fighting chance! Also, why is all the funds raised for cancer research not being used to find this treatment?? Someone needs to step in! |
April 25, 2012 |
| END CANCER!!! |
April 25, 2012 |
| Make people more important than money. I have cancer and this could cure me,you would rather have me killed with chemo/radiation just for money! |
April 25, 2012 |
| They are killing people and letting people die because the pharmaceutical companies and the government are greedy and want to make money. This is outrageous in this day of age, if we have a cure, lets use it instead of letting our loved ones suffer. |
April 25, 2012 |
| Anything that holds promise of beating cancer has to be made available, whether the big Pharmas make money or not! |
April 25, 2012 |
| My brother has been on this for over a year now and had cancer in both his lungs and a tumor 5.6 cm’s in his groin which has now shrunk to 3.1 cm’s and has a bit of cancer in his bones, but by taking the DCA he is now completely cancer free in both his lungs!! |
April 25, 2012 |
| fighting cancer attempting to watch my grandchildren growup.please push for this time is running out for many of us. |
April 25, 2012 |
| Okay Steven- If you ever wished people would look up to you, now’s your chance 🙂 |
April 24, 2012 |
| Stop the ‘pocket-lining’ of Big Pharma. Canadians are worth more than that. Come on, government, this should be a ‘no-brainer’ ! |
April 23, 2012 |
| My husband needs a fighting chance. Please help! Stage four cancer months to live! |
April 23, 2012 |
| DCA shrunk my daughter’s cervical cancer tumour when the oncologists had given her no hope. |

| My sister is extremely ill going through chemo a second time and I think it is a disgrace that doctors cannot use this drug simply because no one wants to fund the clinical trials that are necessary. |
April 21, 2012 |
| COuldn’t agree more. The goal of course is to cure cancer and in the confines of the free market that is sometimes lost. |
April 21, 2012 |
| I have lung cancer and would love to see a cure |
April 21, 2012 |
| we need this as soon as possible |
April 21, 2012 |
| Ihave breast cancer for almost 6 years. (Invasive Ductal carcinoma)(microcalsificacion) HER2 positive Stage 1 Grade 3 |
April 20, 2012 |
| It will save lives. |
April 20, 2012 |
| If this drug was available for cancer treatment two years ago i would still have my wife and sister in-law who both passed due to this terrible desease. and it would help cure my cousin in law who is suffering also. |
April 20, 2012 |
| Make it available, lives are more important then anything else. |
April 20, 2012 |
| Please if we can give this a try and in the long run save money on health care as a whole. Being affected first hand by lung cancer it makes me hopeful that there could be a cure out there we owe it to our country to give this a chance |
April 20, 2012 |
| it’s ridiculous that we have to go to such lengths for something that should be given freely. Makes me steaming mad! |
April 20, 2012 |
| This needs to be addressed seriously and NOW! |
April 20, 2012 |
| The goals of pharmacology and medicine in general is to HEAL people.. to eradicate the illness!!!.. not so that corporations and their shareholders can get ABSURDLY rich… The government has to step in and fund research and production of cures such as this.. instead of spending on absurdities.. |
April 20, 2012 |
| This is sickening…how many more of my family members have to die before DCA comes out as a commonly used treatment. The stats show it works…regulate it as a treatment and a cure now!!!!! |
April 20, 2012 |
| why are so many cures for cancer suppressed. I dont believe for a minute they have been actively looking or a cure for cancer, I think there making to much money off the so called research and if some one actually does find a cure its swept under the rug. this needs to stop. |
April 20, 2012 |
| Three weeks ago, my mother underwent a double mastectomy, and is now facing chemotherapy. Would DCA have saved her from the surgery, and could it be used instead of chemo? It’s a shame to the human race that we don’t have those answers. Shame on us all that this comes down to money, and not saving lives. |
April 20, 2012 |
| there is not ONE person who does not know someone who has lost their life to cancer. Why is it even a question whether or not to further research in this drug.. it’s common sense! Help cure cancer! I lost too many loved ones because of cancer.. why not stop it? stop kicking people that are already down. Why does money even come into mind.. cancer is worldwide, it’s enough that some have cancer, but to steal from them the billions of dollars per year from chemotherapy treatments’ etc.. IS SICK! who kicks someone when they’re already on the ground? |
April 20, 2012 |
| Go for it! |
April 20, 2012 |
| Let’s put some of the money raised by charities to work on this. |
April 20, 2012 |
| this drug would save lifes and money |
April 20, 2012 |
| stop making Big Pharma Co. from getting rich from our suffering. Fund research on non patentable cures. save money on health care costs. Its a No Brainer to me. |
April 20, 2012 |
| let’s use our brains shall we? |
April 20, 2012 |
| If this could be the cure for cancer, what are we waiting for? Sickening when people’s lives are worth less than the almighty dollar. |
April 20, 2012 |
| WHY ARE WE PETITIONING TO DO SOMETHING THAT MUST BE AUTOMATIC AND ESSENTIAL, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLES LIVES HERE. JUST GIVE PEOPLE GOOD MEDICINE, ANYONE DYING WILL TRY ANYTHING, ITS NOT WORSE THAN CHEMOTHERAPY BY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. |
April 20, 2012 |
| People say this is David against Goliath, people need to think bigger here, If we are ALL David’s think about what we can accomplish! |
April 20, 2012 |
| This absolutely must be funded, it’s about time. |
April 20, 2012 |
| I agree, They should at least have more donations to the cause to try and find a cure. |
April 20, 2012 |
| You mean to say MY MOTHER could have suffered less and would not be suffering NOW!!! What is wrong with this picture why must cancer victims suffer?????? Come on CANADIAN GOVERNMENT SH_T OR GET OFF THE POT!!!!!! |
April 19, 2012 |
| This is how I choose for my tax dollars to be spent. Saving millions of lives. |
April 19, 2012 |
| ThIs is too important to ignore. Where would we be if we applied the same processes and protocols for diseases like polio. Scarlet fever etc. Imagine the loss of life |
April 19, 2012 |
| What are you waiting for? Please get moving on this. Thank you. |
April 19, 2012 |
| How can you not save THOUSANDS OF LIVES?! |
April 19, 2012 |
| The government needs to put the needs of the people before corporations. Humans before profit! |
April 19, 2012 |
| Please do the right thing and show the world the integrity of Canada! |
April 19, 2012 |
| The fact that this groundbreaking, potentially life-saving research is subject to petition is in and of itself shocking. This research needs to be funded. |
April 19, 2012 |
| I have been watching my father suffer for years, please fund this important, life-saving drug! |
April 19, 2012 |
| I am going through cancer for the 2nd time, and we need this DCA to cure our cancer, i have a special needs child that needs her mother around |
April 19, 2012 |
| Sister died after 9year colerectal cancer battle , maybe she’d still be here if we’d stop focusing on profits instead of human lives.We have the potential here to save lives , and that should be worth more then making a profit over human suffering. |
April 18, 2012 |
| The need is dire, surely life comes above profit |
April 13, 2012 |
| There are thousands of people that have cancer with the potential to change the world for the greater good. The world is dependant on their lives at times like this…and their lives are dependant on on a possible cure. If DCA really is a cure, then humanity’s future depends on it. Lets do the right thing and save those peoples lives. |
April 6, 2012 |
| it’s time the government upped the ante for a cure for cancer! Let’s do it! |
April 3, 2012 |
| Why aren’t we funding research for this?! People are dying and nobody cares about a possible cure! |
April 2, 2012 |
| She need a specialcarefrom your side,because she is howsewife,husbend is jobless,no support from own family,they are very poor. My name is trudy,I am her neibour.they have three chidren. |
March 31, 2012 |
| I have stage 4 prostate ca been on DCA 44 days we’ll see with next blood and bone testing |
March 29, 2012 |
| If you truly want to cure cancer, this therapy should be approved and covered by OHIP…Please help those that need help the most. |
March 23, 2012 |
| The clinical should have been completed some time ago. I am not a fan of the Cdn government and their relationships with the Big Pharma, |
March 18, 2012 |
| Husband taking it as part of prostate cancer treatment (active surveillance) and request if be covered by OHIP. |
March 18, 2012 |
| Masonic lodges stop researching… |
March 15, 2012 |
| If this simple already available drug can potentially kill the mutated cells and leave the bealthy ones? This has got to a study!! Many lives would be saved… wouldn’t that be such an amazing feeling?? My baby brother desperately needsthis treatment |
March 14, 2012 |
| There is a very limited down side but potential for a positive reaction. If you do not know about DCA then have someone investigate. A relatively small investment compared to the money spent on cancer care could save millions of both lives and dollars. |
March 13, 2012 |
| Mankind needs help on cancer cures, the cures are out there but big pharma with the Rockefellers are keeping them from us, it is not fare. |
March 4, 2012 |
| Let the public choose where their Cancer Fundraising Dollars go…for conventional or alternative trials. On every fundraising form, there should be a marked choice.WE THE PEOPLE ARE ‘THE GOVERNMENT’ and we demand the right to choose where our fundraising dollars go! Cheaper cures save tax dollars and lower the oveall healthcare costs. We need to invest in cheaper, more effective cures.It’s time to stop cutting, burning and poisoning our population! |
February 24, 2012 |
| It would be an absolute crime to allow people to suffer and die because drug companies wouldn’t make any profits from a drug that cures cancer. For goodness sakes make it right!! |
February 23, 2012 |
| How much money would the members of government pay to keep their loved ones alive???? |
February 22, 2012 |
| i have cancer and i want to be treated with dca. |
February 22, 2012 |
| We can not wait for the world to die. Now is the time to cure those who have been inflicted with this dreaded disease |
February 10, 2012 |
| It’s about time they but our health first, instead of being interested in the almighty dollar. |
February 10, 2012 |
| I believe finding the cure for cancer should not be based on how much money it can generate. It is up to the people and the people’s government to find a cure. |
February 10, 2012 |
| Image the health care savings if they properly pursue the treatment of cancer, savings on the cost of Chemo alone would be huge. |
June 29, 2011 |
| It’s about time a key organization funded trials of DCA. The drug companies will not because there is no revenue in the prospect to pay for trials or make profit. The Government however would save money on cancer treatment and palliative care costs should DCA prove viable. |
June 21, 2011 |
| Why not use some of the Nation’s share of lottery money. |
June 19, 2011 |
| IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO…….. |
June 17, 2011 |
| Life before profit. |
June 14, 2011 |
| please help people with no hope |
June 13, 2011 |
| This should be avail everywhere. |
June 6, 2011 |
| DCA trials are a must option for everyone encountering a cancer. Radiation and chemo are not the only options available with DCA now available. Patents and money do not take the place of an easy non-evasive compound like DCA. Please help. |
May 30, 2011 |
| more info on dca please |
May 29, 2011 |
| The government spends money for national defense. This is national defense against dying from cancer. In this case where the private sector won’t do the necessary research, is one of the times when the government MUST step in for the welfare of the citizens it is elected to protect. |
May 25, 2011 |
| With health care costs spinning out of control it would be nice to find a cheap less toxic solution to the problem |
May 25, 2011 |
| If there is potential here for saving the lives of people with cancer, it MUST be made available |
May 24, 2011 |
| I know people who have suffered cancer. One has even died. A mother, to three children, a wife.It’s disgusting that people can sit back and watch all these people loose their lives to a curable disease. We’re told that nothing compares to a persons life when it comes to natural disaster situations, something we cannot avoid. WE CAN AVOID THIS. Has human kind become this horribly selfish? Could you sleep at night, knowing that your mother, sister, brother, cousin, father, HUSBAND, WIFE, Or, Even your child could die, or IS slowly dying because of a CURABLE DISEASE like cancer.Happiness cannot be bought. Imagine all the lives you could save.. how many families could be put back together because of this. Is it not worth a shot?I have to sit back while my boyfriends mother is sick and I can’t do a thing about it. It’s gotten worse than the cancer.. Do you know how horrible it is, to know that someone you love is going through/yet to go through, so much pain?
This is so important.. Open your heart, forget about the money. You can’t replace a life. MAKE CANCER A THING OF THE PAST. I beg you, let this research happen. |
May 22, 2011 |
| our gov. needs to get involved and fund this research. |
May 20, 2011 |
| It only hurts when someone close to us gets sick, and it hurts even more when we know there could be a cure for it wile pharmaceutical companies are only there to make money… how would you feel mister Harper if someone close to you gets sick? Wouldn’t you want to help that person get well? |
May 19, 2011 |
| come on mister harper , don’t be a fool. |
May 19, 2011 |
| A cure for cancer is imperative. IF you could witness what advanced cancer does to humans,and the dignity and quality of life which is denied them, you would understand how important it is to find a cure even if it is only a partial one. |
May 19, 2011 |
| Humans deserve to advance in medical treatment for any and all illnesses |
May 18, 2011 |
| Cure for cancer? |
May 18, 2011 |
| Cmon, What are you waiting for????? |
May 18, 2011 |
| I think this drug can help famalies in a deep struggle who are looking for a way out. This simple drug that takes under a year to heal! and if we cant afford treatment from any major hospitals and time is runnning short i wold love a treament from the people who have a warm heart not one of greed and dis-beleif |
May 17, 2011 |
| do it |
May 17, 2011 |
| Cancer needs to be cured at all costs. |
May 17, 2011 |
| This needs to be researched. Now! |
May 17, 2011 |
| Mr Prime Minister, prove to your fellow Canadians that our compassion extendes beyond the corporate dollar. We the people elected you, we’re calling you out to show us what your made of. |
May 16, 2011 |
| Please don’t let corporate greed prevent research on a cheap, accessible cure for cancer! |
May 16, 2011 |
| je n’y compte pas trop mais bon… |
May 16, 2011 |
| Please fund this research! |
May 16, 2011 |
| Get the on social media! People will take note of it then |
May 16, 2011 |
| Countless dollars have been spent for far less worthy causes. Who cares is Merck, Roush, and the rest of them go bankrupt! Please fund this research. |
May 15, 2011 |
| Help cancer research not sand oil that part of cancer’s cause. |
May 15, 2011 |
| Please cure cancer! |
May 15, 2011 |
| Please fund this research. Only with government support will lives be saved, and considering the enormous costs of standard cancer treatment, DCA will actually save taxpayers money! |
May 15, 2011 |
| My mother has a brain tumor, my aunt has been diagnosed with melanoma, and another aunt sick with pancreatic cancer. Please help my family and fund research for the cure! |
May 15, 2011 |
| I have been watching this for some time, and it is so encouraging. Keep up the good work. |
May 14, 2011 |
| Hope logic will be reinsert in future societies. Money over Life should be criminally charge as negligence… |
May 14, 2011 |
| please consider funding this amazing potential. cancer is a miserable way to die, and if it is as simple as this drug, people need to know. |
May 14, 2011 |
| please make this treatment known to the WORLD as soon as possible. |
May 14, 2011 |
| It’s one of our biggest issues, let’s not fool around |
May 14, 2011 |
| This is what happens when the medical industry is owned by a group that wants to maintain illness. |
May 14, 2011 |
| Please invest some of the already allocated Cancer research funds to this simple idea…our taxes could be used to research non profitable ideas that private companies cannot, due to the financial burdens. We the tax payer should be able to influence our contributions…and that is really where we should be using taxes… if it can create a healthier more productive population…why not?? Unless there is something to the whole conspiracy idea…please prove the conspiracy theorists wrong:) |
May 14, 2011 |
| Please, please make this happen. |
May 14, 2011 |
| Dear ANY Canadian Political party — here is a way to guarantee an majority for a long time to come — fund the cure for cancer! |
May 14, 2011 |
| Mr. Harper owes this to the people of Canada,who have elected him! |
May 14, 2011 |
| Please fund this research. Thanks! |

| It is a completely unenlightened world that puts profits over lives.I find it appalling. |
May 14, 2011 |
| I have cancer, and I truly believe a cure is out there. But then no huge profits for big pharma. |
May 4, 2011 |
| I am all for alternative treatments…This DCA sounds like it does some good…we have lost 4 members of our family to cancer and another one on the way…they all went through conventional treatments and died painfully. I for one will NOT go with chemo and radiation if the same fate befalls me. |
May 4, 2011 |
| please help- when it comes to lives profits should not be the issue . i have cancer and trying to get it, cause i op out on chemo and the other killing drug |
April 26, 2011 |
| It is sad that hope can be lost because ‘Big Pharma’ cannot turn DCA into a profit making medication.At the very least, DCA could become another hope for those whom have expended all other options. |
April 24, 2011 |
| Please, please, please do the right thing for once not the profitable thing. |
April 21, 2011 |
| For all those suffering from cancer and their families and friends, DCA is perhaps no more than a hope where hope is unfairly limited. We cannot afford to ignor DCA. |
April 11, 2011 |
| It is incredible that this simple chemical is so effective informally and yet there is not full funding from the government if it can save lives. I understand that it costs money to pay for this stuff but government research money is available and should be driven to most useful possibilities. Who would not think that this is not deservbing EXCEPT big pharma. If this is one more option to assist the complex treatment of cancer, we as the Canadian people/taxpayer must support this initiative. Paul Beckwith, Burlington, Ontario |
April 7, 2011 |
| The evil that exists in our jails today are less scary than the people that walk among us in these Corporations and Politics. The root of all evil is money. |
April 2, 2011 |
| I agree with the aim and intent of this petition. Besides this DCA treatment there are other bypassed treatments such as IPT and hyperthermia either used together or individually. If anyone out there is really interested in awakening our governmental health officials to these extraordinary opportunities, I would like to hear from them with a view to organizing a group of people fed up with watching their friends and relatives die from standard cancer treatments being followed by almost all our countries’ health practitioners. |
March 23, 2011 |
| Since this is a generic drug, costs to Health Care plans would be at a minimum. With Stage IV lung cancer, my conventinal options are limited but my willingness to participate in human trials of this potential treatment is not. Even a prison inmate sentenced to an indeterminate sentence has a faint hope clause and I am asking the Federal Government for the same consideration by permitting significant human trials to test the efficacy of this drug and protocol with me included in it. |
March 8, 2011 |
| It must be made more broadly available!!! Please let them serve patients. The clinical research is in!! |
