A member asked:
When it comes to inoperable brain tumors, has any research been done on using micro dots of snake or spider venom to kill the tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cruel fraud: Scorpion and spider venom have been investigated for drug delivery and there are some reports, but it's still preliminary research. Anyone offering this to you is offering a remedy that is untested and almost certain not to work. Don't spend too much money on it. Having a brain tumor is brutal enough without some huckster taking advantage of your desperation.
