If you google for Parapox Cancer Bayer (a large german chemical and pharmaceutical giant) you will find some pdf's that do indeed mention using the Parapox virus (a red squirrel disease) against cancer. So that part might indeed be true.

However, everything else about it is sounds very much like a scam for the reasons already mentioned. Sounds like someone took an existing tiny research story and exaggerated the story a million times to turn it into the new miracle cure scam.

You kidding? People have had out of country cancer quackery going on for years. Hell, there's even the occasional weirdo giving "psychic" cancer cures and stuff in immigrant neighborhoods here.

Yes this sounds like total BS. Good Luck with your situation. I hope everything works out.

Wow, how much of a scumbag can you be to try to scam cancer victims?

Jesus Christ, I'm in shock. I didn't know people were THAT low.

I know about stuff like that, but this seems to be a carefully constructed ploy aiming to get $50k. Sickens me, thats all.

Yeah sorry, this is BS from a scummy scumbag who preys on people's fear and misery - I'd pretend to be interested in his scam then beat the hell out him with a 4x2 wrapped in barbed wire.

They require 20k USD upfront paid to a LLC in Reno (40k, for the "premium" package or, if you're really serious, the "royal" package for 50k)

Not that everybody hasn't convinced you already, but this is the part that makes it sound ridiculously BS to me.

A "premium" and "royal" package? So what the [censored] does the 20k USD package do, just cure your cancer a little bit? Whereas the 50k package cures you fully and leaves a mint on your pillow, I guess. What a scam, these people suck.

I would guess ti changes where you stay and the level of luxury you receive. Doesn't sound like this is a hospitalized procedure, so you probably stay at a hotel. For more they probably get you a limo and [censored]. I'm sure they have a huge margin on the higher packages but I think it's other things and not the medicine that you're paying for.

It's still complete B.s.

you're really not letting me win with any of the points I'm making in recent threads, are you? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I guess I'll just give up for a while.
