Caring for a Three Legged Dog or Cat

Has anyone used Protocel?  It looks interesting, but it seems too good to be true.  If it truly did what it claims to be able to do we find it hard to believe it wouldn't be approved by now, despite reading the history behind the FDA denials.
 

Your instincts are right, run with them. Here's what the American Cancer Society has to say about Protocel, aka Cancell.

Available scientific evidence does not support claims that Cancell^® or similar products are effective in treating cancer. None of the theories used to support claims made by promoters are compatible with modern scientific data about the molecular basis of cancer. Animal studies of Entelev^® and Cancell^® by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1978 and 1980 found it lacked anti-cancer activity. The NCI performed another series of tests in 1990 and 1991 using human cancer cells. According to the NCI website, “Laboratory studies using human tumor cells concluded that Cancell could not be taken in doses high enough to kill cancer cells in the body. The NCI decided that Cancell did not show enough anticancer activity to continue the studies.”

None of the claims of these products' effectiveness against other diseases has been documented through scientific testing and published in peer-reviewed medical journals. Although manufacturers have claimed the products have helped more than half of the cancer patients who took them, no clinical trials have ever been reported in the peer-reviewed medical literature.
