Ancient Chinese Remedy - Toad Venom

Western doctor's are researching an interesting alternative accepted by Chinese medicine for years. Dr. Lorenzo Cohen, using a US back grant, has traveled to Shanghai to study the affects of toad venom on cancer patients through a clinical trial.

A cancer patient featured during the ABC Nightly News on March 10th has seen a 15% reduction in his cancer tumor with the toad venom treatment.

Final results will not be available for several years. Cohen states, "I think it is very important that the world, as a whole, is starting to expand and look at indigenous medicine".
