Retraction: I'm Gonna Whoop On Wesley Darling

Turns out that cancer "cure"?  Has since been refuted by further study.  Sorry folks.



"In 2010 it was found that for human colorectal tumours grown in mice, under hypoxic conditions, DCA decreased rather than increased apoptosis, resulting in enhanced growth of the tumours."

If you click on the link below, you'll find that a shit-ton more research needs to be done, so essentially we don't have a cure, but instead some possibilities opening up in the field of cancer treatment.  Turns out in recent weeks this story has popped up a few times due to a simple misreading of the date of the study.  Whoops!
