On 28 February, CBS’s _60_Minutes_ ran a segment about the use of shark
cartilage in the treatment of cancer. In closing they mentioned that
the taxpayer-supported National Institutes of Health (or perhaps it was
the National Cancer Institute?) was preparing to study said treatment,
thus lending some credibility to it.
By coincidence I had just run across the health magazine _Alternatives_
which has been following the use of shark cartilage to treat both cancer
and arthritis. I have read some of the medical references cited by
_Alternatives_ and there seems reason to believe that said treatment
could show promise.
Does anyone have any personal, or anecdotal, experience with cartilage
used in this manner?
Does anyone have an opinion about _Alternatives_ or the material it covers?
