Canadian researchers find a simple cure for cancer, but major pharmaceutical companies are not interested. Why?

Pharmaceutical companies are not investing in this research because DCA method cannot be patented, without a patent they can’t make money, like they are doing now with their AIDS Patent. Since the pharmaceutical companies won’t develop this, other independent laboratories should start producing this drug and do more research to confirm the findings and produce drugs. All the groundwork can be done in collaboration with the Universities, who will be glad to assist in such research and can develop an effective drug for curing cancer.
