Years ago I had a talk with a cancer researcher and asked how they ever came up with the idea of giving people medicine that was so toxic it would cause their hair to fall out -- it was like they were poisoning people. He smiled.
This is what he said -- "Do you know how "chemotherapy" started? I said, "No - not a clue."
He said, "Some years ago there was a doctor who felt he could give his patients a healthy diet, vitamins, minerals etc. He would boost their bodies up so they could fight the cancer." And being a good researcher, he divided up a group of cancer patient into two groups (don't know if it was double blind) and gave half of them the boost, and the other half the same food but no extra vitamins or minerals etc.
And guess what happened?
There was a BIG difference in how long the people in each group lived - just like you would expect. With one exception - the group getting all the extra help, all the extra vitamins, died first.
Cancer cells grow faster, out of control, and they used up the extra "help" to multiply faster. So, the doctor switched the experiment and "poisoned" the patients. He assumed the cancer cells would take in more of the poison and die first. And that's what happened. That was the start of modern chemotherapy for cancer.

Do you think we may have learned something about nutrition and cancer since "years" before "some years ago?"
Do you think that with 661 unsolicited, independant, medical and scientific studies on fucoidan since 1970, showing it to have statistically significant effects on various ailments, e.g. cancer, inflammation, diabetes, etc., that maybe those research scientists might have discovered something new???
