FDA Warns Individuals and Firms to Stop Selling Fake Cancer 'Cures'

See http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2008/NEW01852.html

Of course the purveyors of such trash and their True Believers will
blame it all on

(a) a conspiracy to prevent cancer patients from benefiting from these
Wonder Cures so that Big Pharma can make money,
(b) them nasty old Republicans in Washington,
(c) that nasty old stupid George Bush, who is a puppet of his even
nastier (and smarter) Vice President.

All of the above, plus some I haven't thought of.

(b) and (c) are of course motivated by a sincerely-held Republican
desire to continue killing old people, minorities, women and Democrats;
and of course eating babies.

Never mind; facts are facts.

Here's a bit of drama, illustrating the point:

"Macbeth"
Act IV, Scene one:

A cavern. In the middle, a boiling cauldron

First Witch:
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.

ALL:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Second Witch:
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

etc.
