Shark Cartilage and Cancer Sharks Don't Get Cancer "Since the publication of W. Lane's book, Sharks Don't Get Cancer in l992, shark cartilage has become the 'cancer cure' of the l990's," begins a letter to the British medical journal, Lancet. *

The writer is Dr. E. Ernst, Director of the Department of Complimentary Medicine, Postgraduate Medical School, U. of Exeter, UK., and he noted that the actual test of shark cartilage that was provided by its backers was found to be contaminated. "There is no evidence that shark cartilage offers any benefit, but there is some evidence that it may do harm," ** notes Dr. Ernst. Considering his position, he could hardly be called "establishment" or being unreceptive to new approaches to medicine.

One can understand the desperation of patients and their friends in turning to this questionable substance, sadly.

Oh, perhaps we should mention that sharks do get cancer. It's just that few of them have walked into a clinic seeking treatment.
