  1. We talked about potentially very safe substances that can be used and potentially be beneficial to cancer prevention and treatment. That's a very good point. Because we are reversing the direction of discovery. One way to do medical research is to find a medication in the laboratory that has a beneficial effect, and to show in preclinical studies that the drug candidate works in mice and does not hurt mice. Then we conduct clinical trials in humans. But most medications end up dying in what Dr. Francis Collins [famous scientist] calls "valley of death". Because many drug candidates fail in clinical trials and cannot be used. But another way of doing medical research is to take something that's been used for a long time and known to be safe. Then we can test if this substance has some biological effects. Each of these methods has its strengths and weaknesses. But at least in case of curcumin and other spices, ginger and pepper, we know they are safe to use. Then we can work on finding out how to use them and what is the effective dose for treatment or prevention of cancer.
