FTC Warns Consumers about Bogus Cancer Cures
http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-health/20080918/MED.Bogus.Cures/

Here's a great link from the bottom of the article:
http://www.ftc.gov/curious

And here's my favorite quote of the day, from that linked site:
If someone you care about has cancer, the last thing you need is a scam.

Truer words have never been spoken.

6. But sharks don't get cancer (except when they do), so it stands to reason eating sharks cures cancer
And if you eat cats, you'll be able to see in the dark.

If you eat a platypus, you'll grow a poison fang and start laying eggs.

And you'll have sonar if you eat a bat!

I'm still thinking about eating a spider so I can take over the night shift for Spiderman.
