Rhee Ali Tee Since: Apr 07 206 South Pasadena, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Mar 26, 2011 Severe to fatal autoimmune reactions were seen in 12.9% of patients and yet the FDA approved it without much difficulty compared to Provenge. What was the FDA thinking on this one? More data or a complete rejection would've been more appropriate.

They have something that has been available for years called effudex but it does a very brutal job on the person using it. Like leprosy and painful leprosy for about 6 weeks

But only use on one spot at a time. Your skin cancer will dry up and fall off I guanantee. Watch it yourself on youtube.
