Bovine Cartilage

Despite all of the media hype over Shark Cartilage, Bovine Cartilage has been studied regarding cancer care for many years.

Harvard trained physician John F. Prudden has been using it to treat human cancer since the early 1970's.

Dr. Prudden has published a 31 patient case series in which he records some remarkable remissions in a wide variety of intractable malignancies including Pancreatic Cancer, Metastatic Breast Cancer, and Glioblastoma Multiforme.

Some of these patients had been followed for more than five years at the time the case series was published in 1985.

According to the National Cancer Institute, Bovine Cartilage, a type of tough, flexible connective tissue, has been studied and shown to "have some value" in cancer therapy.

As indicated, various preparations of cartilage from sharks have been studied in the laboratory and in animals for their ability to kill cancer cells, stimulate the immune system, and block formation of new blood vessels feeding cancer cells.

Nevertheless, NCI's official public position remains that scientific evidence to date has not proven cartilage to be an effective treatment for cancer.

Several formal human clinical trials at NCI are now underway. 

It is important to talk to your doctor before taking any alternative cancer treatment.  Especially if you are having other treatments for your cancer.
