They were shown to be effective in killing cells with folic acid receptors, which are particularly numerous on cancer cells.

i cant believe for one minute that someone would rather insert deadly toxins into their body without first trying every natural, less harmful possibility. treatments that poison and kill more patients than they help should be a last resort.
