Sharks DO get cancer!

Sharks do get cancer it is a fact. This book is a lie.
Don't let this book fool you into thinking you cant get cancer just because you eat a murdered shark fin, millions of sharks are slaughtered for their fins for no reason every year, it is screwing up our Eco system.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

Don't waste your money

Quit buying this junk that pseudoscientists are selling to make a quick buck.

Sharks do get cancer.

A scientific study done by researchers at the Mayo Clinc showed not only that this stuff doesn't work, but "toxicity related to shark cartilage resulted in significant trial drop out after one month."

Snake Oil

Scientific studies have been unable to provide any compelling evidence that demonstrates the effectiveness of shark cartilage as a therapy for either curing or preventing cancer.

Yet because of the disinformation presented in books like this, cartilage, regardless of the facts, has become a staple among the myriad of phony miracle cancer cures that sick, desperate, and despairing cancer sufferers may be all too willing to try in the impossible hope that it will help them. Unfortunately, shark cartilage's efficacy as a treatment is rooted solely in the realm of pseudoscience and in the claims of snake oil salesmen like William Lane who sell it.

Even if sharks do have a natural immunity to cancer - a central premise of the book that has been shown to be false - who is to say that grinding them up and eating them would convey any benefit? Does eating poultry help us fly?

For those who are suffering from cancer, staking the money that it costs to purchase and ship this book doesn't seem to be any smarter than staking one's life on its claims by forgoing chemotherapy treatment for cartilage as a review below describes. Who wrote that review anyway? William Lane?
