A member of my family was recently diagnosed with cancer and is currently under going chemotherapy. My brother has been doing research on the internet to see if he can find anything else that could be of use and he came across a product called ‘Protocel – Formula 50′ – it is a suppliment that claims to help build the body’s ammune system to help fight cancer cells.
I was wondering if any of you are aware of this product? Or know anyone that has used it?
Is it in any way effective?
I’d appreciate any information you can give me.
Thanks.
You are referring to a product also called cancell or cantron. No scientific documented evidence exists that support its use for cancer. Testimonials and claims about effectiveness are not evidence . . because memories are faulty and you cannot independently verify claims . . it appears that the makers of the product are far more interested in selling the product than establishing whether it is a benefit to cancer patients. Despite being around for a while the product has failed to establish any type of efficiacy for patients with cancer.
Please also remember that cancer is a persons own DNA that has mutated . . which means that the body does not see cancer as a foreign matter that needs to ‘fight cancer cells’. The body sees cancer as just another body part . . and will nourish it in the same way it takes care of any other body part. Anytime you put a supplement into your body . . you could be doing just the opposite of what is intended . .you may well be making the cancer stronger and healthier.

And, as far as relying on Testimonials or claims for a product goes . . watch this . . it is my own testimony that I have never seen one patient who has used this product been cured or show any type of health benefit in regards to cancer. That is how easy anyone can make a claim or testimony.
