You seem to have very strong anti-establishment opinions. There are a lot of off-patent drugs (i.e. generics) that are dirt cheap and widely prescribed. Metformin is one example. Unfortunately, your world-view prevents you from seeing through the logical holes of your own statements. If dichloroacetate cured cancer, it would require a global conspiracy to conceal that fact. Doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies have quite the opposite incentives from big pharma. Like you, they dislike the excessive profiteering from pharmaceutical companies. Why would they be party to this conspiracy?
