In human bodies there is a natural cancer fighting human cell, the mitochondria, but they need to be triggered to be effective.

There is no and there will be no "one"cure for cancer. Cancer is something that is inherent to life. Depending on the type and position of cancer the body kills it of on its own, doctors can cut it out, drugs can halt its development, or destroy some types.
Inhibiting Glycolysis is a very good way to kill cells, brain cells especially - since they can use glucose as the only source of energy (well they can use keto acids too but that leads to keto acidosis and kidney failure)
If something can kill cultured cancer cells it does not mean it should be used as a therapeutic. Cyanide kills them pretty good to in in vitro culture

EDIT:

mitochondria is an organelle not a cell. Nuff said

But they won't help if you want to treat yourself by taking a more natural pathway, because they know it helps dramatically. For that reason, less people go the natural way and go with the time devouring and not-so-cost-effective mainstream way, which also means you can't tell anyone about it, they have to come looking.

So, in short, we can't cure all cancers, but we can defeat some, the government knows this, and still tries to prevent it without looking to suspicious, by starting up charities etc.
