Imagine the lives and money (taxpayer money, patient money etc.) that could be saved if BB/MG dietary supplements were to rout those $300,000 per year Big Pharma concoctions.
"On August 3, 2012, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new cancer drug called Zaltrap as a safe and effective treatment for patients with advanced colon cancer. The approval was based on a large-scale clinical trial that showed that Zaltrap, given in combination with three previously approved drugs to patients who had failed initial therapy, extended median overall survival by 42 days. "
"I want to emphasize it’s not that we can have a year of life saved for $303,000 . That’s probably less than half of what the actual cost would be when you factor in everything .” Zaltrap, he (Dr. Saltz) figured, was probably going to be in the same range."

"NCI estimated that extending the lives of the 550,000 Americans who die of cancer annually by one year would cost $440 billion ."
