Cancer drug resurfaces and threatens false optimism. Andy Coghlan, reporter So, we hear news of a miraculous treatment for cancer.
Disappointingly, the story is an old one which has somehow resurfaced on the blogosphere. When we originally published the story four years ago, it created a frenzy on the internet which took us by surprise. Our story reported a new type of treatment that in animal experiments showed promise of potentially being able to tackle most types of human cancer. We often report developments in cancer research, but nothing had ever attracted such a wave of interest. Exposed to DCA, cancer cells stopped making energy from sugar and resumed making it the way healthy cells do, in chambers called mitochondria.
What added to the intrigue was that DCA is such a cheap, simple molecule that no-one has ever patented it. THE CRIME OF THE CANADIAN BANKING SYSTEM - Bill Abram. Join or Subscribe.

Canada threatens trade war with EU over tar sands. Canada has threatened a trade war with European Union over the bloc's plan to label oil from Alberta's vast tar sands as highly polluting, the Guardian can reveal, before a key vote in Brussels on 23 February.
"Canada will not hesitate to defend its interests, including at the World Trade Organisation," state letters sent to European commissioners by Canada's ambassador to the EU and its oil minister, released under freedom of information laws. The move is a significant escalation of the row over the EU's plans, which Canada fears would set a global precedent and derail its ability to exploit its tar sands, which are the biggest fossil fuel reserve in the world after Saudi Arabia. Environmental groups argue that exploitation of the tar sands, also called oil sands, is catastrophic for the global climate, as well as causing serious air and water pollution in Alberta.
Can a copper firm restore a blasted ecosystem? Wherever we look in the developed West, we see evidence of misuse: eroding streams, stripped forests, species such as the grizzly hanging on by their claws. Many believe it is not enough to simply stop the damage. We must also put the West back together. But many in the West are in a state of denial, especially those who blasted the landscape to produce the only goods the region's economy for so long knew how to value: commodities. Ironically, the owner of the biggest mining pit in the world, the Kennecott copper company, is trying to become an exception. Kennecott wants to clean up the huge pit's pollution without becoming a Superfund site. Jon Christensen, HCN's Great Basin regional editor, begins his report on page 8. by Jon Christensen Salt Lake City, Utah - Preston Chiaro has a huge mess on his hands.
Chiaro wants a chance to show that the owner of "the world's richest hole" can clean up its act. In recent years, much of the damage has been controlled. That is an understatement. Canada Mining Corruption: Survey Finds Canadian Provinces Seen As Riskier Than Parts Of Africa. Corruption in Canada’s mining industry is worse than in some African and Latin American countries, says a new survey from the Fraser Institute.
Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories all ranked in the survey as more corrupt than Chile and Botswana. The remaining provinces and territories ranked better than any developing country, but were still seen as more corrupt than many U.S. and Australian jurisdictions. The study notes that Chile and Botswana have the fastest-growing resource sectors on their respective continents, suggesting a link between economic growth and lack of corruption. The Northwest Territories ranked as the most corrupt in Canada, with fully 16 per cent of respondents saying corruption would keep them from investing in the area. Most of the developing world, and some developed countries such as Poland and Spain, ranked worse than any Canadian province. The report does not cite examples of corruption in Canadian mining.
