Cancer has long been cured in mice but not in people. Why
Successful laboratory treatments and cures for one species don't necessarily result in cures for humans. But, because practice has become economically entrenched within medical industry, animal experimentation -against all medical evidence- continues.The human benefits of animal experimentation- a bedrock of the scientific age- is a myth perpetuated by an amorphous but insidious network of multibillion-dollar special interests: research facilities, drug companies, universities, scientisits, and even cage manufacturers.C.Ray Greek, MD, and veterniary dermatologist, Jean Swingle Gree, DMV, show how the public has been deliberately misled and blow the lid off the vested-interest groups whose hidden agendas put human health at risk.

  Review: Sacred Cows and Golden Geese: The Human Cost of Experiments on Animals So far, pretty well documented book about the history of animal research - vivisection. Though disappointed they mentioned prions in passing and didn't throughly explain the DNA evidence to support
