Learning the truth about cartilage could save or extend your

Unfortunately, there are ignorant rants like the two provided here. I have read both of Mr. Lane's books, and I have found them to be incredibly useful in prolonging the lives of people in my own family. I can say the same was true of others I have known, who have used cartilage and their cancer went away, much to the befuddlement of their physicians. While it is true sharks get cancer, the number that do is so minute that it validates the sentiment that sharks do not get cancer. The pharmaceutical industry has resorted to developing anti angiogenisis drugs that perform, or should I say, attempt to perform the same function that shark cartilage does. What is that? Well, it halts the growth of blood vessels necessary for a tumor to grow, and in some cases reverses the trend. Before you listen to someone ignorant about the subject, or a physician that is certainly motivated to keep the chemo and radiation money train going, a multi-billion dollar business, try finding the answers by reading and talking to different people.
