The Krebiozen Hoax-An Infamous Quack Cancer Treatment
This episode was brought to you by our main source, the excellent book on the topic by Matthew C. Ehrlich entitled, The Krebiozan Hoax: How a mysterious Cancer Drug Shook Organized Medicine. Check it out via that link and show the author some love. It's a great addition to your medical history library.
This is the story of how a 22-year elaborate hoax was delivered to the American public of the 1940's-1960's in the form of a purported cancer cure. Preying on the hope of those suffering from terminal cancer, one unscrupulous doctor tricked so many others into pushing a fake cure for the disease. We'll dive into the story to figure out if, in fact, Krebiozen, the medication in question, really did exist.
