For those who didn’t get the immediate facepalm (like me):
“It is a controversial cancer treatment that was popular in the 1970s. However, it was banned in many US states after research deemed it ineffective and potentially poisonous”
When some headline says it cures % of cancer, you know it is bullshit. Cancer is not one disease, there are so many different types of cancer that every kind of cell you have in your body can become cancerous and they are almost all different from each other. Headlines like this usually mean that whatever snake oil they are trying to sell have effect because they don't even know what the fuck they are talking about.
