Cancer Cure Speech
By the time I finish this talk, over 35 people from around the world will have died due to cancer. Now we’ll all agree that this a horrific statistic, but what can actually be done to fix it? You probably think nothing and that cancer is terminal. However what if I told you there is a cure but its use has been forbidden by the people running our country. By the people we think know best.
This cure was discovered a long while ago and has been proven to kill every single type of cancer. You may be sat there thinking “what on earth is she on about? One simple drug, isn’t going to cure all the different kind of cancers in the world? There are hundreds of them!” Well you’re right about there being hundreds of them, but they’re not all that different. They all start in the same way.
They all start by something going wrong in a cell’s DNA. This mishap causes the cell to divide uncontrollably. So what was just 1 deformed cell, suddenly becomes 2 deformed cells, and then 4 and then 8 and so on. This mass of malformed cells, forms a lump called a tumour. If left untreated this lump, can take over whole organs and completely stop them from working which could be fatal.
So this is why surgeons perform treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy to attempt to blast away those mutated cancerous cells. However the danger is, if one cell is accidently left, then it will divide and the whole cycle will begin again.
This is the point where I introduce the actual drug which my whole presentation is based on. Dichloroacetate. This drug (known as DCA in the medical world), turns back on the cancer cells’ mitochondria. Basically, every normal functional cell in our body has a mitochondria, which is essentially just a self-destruct’ button that a cell presses if it becomes faulty. However cancer cells somehow manage to turn off this button so that it no longer works and so they are immortal and can just divide and divide. But Dichloroacetate forces the cancer cells to
