I wish I had more skin cancer videos. The Viagra and Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/viagra-and-cancer) one was about melanoma, also touched on in The Best Way to Get Vitamin D: Sun, Supplements, or Salons? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-way-to-get-vitamin-d-sun-supplements-or-salons/)

Black salve reminds me of the shark cartilage story: The Risks of Shark Cartilage Supplements (applewebdata://95AAE22A-259D-47B5-B5CC-295962146A68/nutritionfacts.org/video/The-Risks-of-Shark-Cartilage-Supplements) and Shark Cartilage Supplements Put to the Test to Cure Cancer (applewebdata://95AAE22A-259D-47B5-B5CC-295962146A68/nutritionfacts.org/video/Shark-Cartilage-Supplements-Put-to-the-Test-to-Cure-Cancer).

I also have some videos coming out about amygdalin/laetrile/”vitamin B17.” Stay tuned!
