It's about getting my whole family pulled off into a cement bunker at British customs for being more radioactive than a truck full of Russian nails.

Nixon declared the war on cancer in 1971. Forty-five years and billions of dollars later, it looks like we have lost the battle. Or have we? When a natural, non-toxic way to fight cancer is discovered, it is big news in the scientific community.
