A good guide to follow is that if the FDA bans it - it is probably efficacious! :-)
The smiley face after that statement should be turned into a frown, John. Today, I received a special edition newsletter from Bill Henderson, who puts out the awesome Cure Your Cancer newsletter and who wrote an invaluable book about alternative cures for cancer, too (Jean Baugh, you should check into this for your mom's lung cancer!). Anyway, the news he conveyed was most discouraging, because I know of two people who turned their terminal cancers around with Lane Labs' Benefin shark cartilage. I am outraged and incensed. This is what he wrote:

It makes me sick to see our freedoms stripped away one by one, and I am certain that CS will soon be in the FDA's sights, if it is not already.
