It sounds like a ridiculous claim.

Also in drug trials hundreds of drugs fail, very few are successful for one reason or another , I mean first when they test a drug in a cell culture ( only one cell is grown up and the effect of the drug is seen on the cell) the drug might work but when actually tested on animals or people* the result could be awful.

*I wanted to make the distinction between animal testing and human trials in case anybody was pedantic enough to say humans are animals.

Didn't feel like searching much beyond that.

The pill makes sense, IIRC isnt cancer just a disformed cell/s?

Something like that. They are cells that destroy other cells around them and... something...
... yeah. I don't really know.

Yeah.

Problem is, they're YOUR deformed cells.

So as far as medicine/immunity goes, anything that kills them will kill your own cells too. Which is why even though it's pretty well understood treating it is a complete bitch, never mind that doing it in a way that doesn't run serious risks is a biological nightmare.

Go nuts, I'm pretty out of the loop on that stuff even though I really should be keeping up.

Alternatively, I could admire your pants.
