With social media comes a ton of pseudoscience.
"Cancer" is an umbrella term that encompasses many, many very different diseases. There is no one key to unlock the mysteries, there are probably many.

Fluoride toxicity causes fluorosis - it isn't known to cause cancer, but I suppose it's a perfectly plausible hypothesis.
Sure, but paired with everything else, I highly doubt he has much credible evidence for it.

My dad bought into a magic-cancer-cure hoax a few years back. Google 'Royal Raymond Rife'. I suppose the only saving grace was that at least it packaged in a vaguely medical skin, but it still depressed me that this otherwise intelligent, wise man believed this bullfuckery.

Ah, yes. I see. "Cancer Cure Genius Silenced by Medical Mafia." You know it's credible when they reference the medical mafia.

I wonder how he got the name Novella?
I expect there's a medium length story there.

WTF happened to laetrile ??
