Saw this on another forum:
"I just hate bone marrow. I have very vivid memories of my mother having to choke it and fat trimmings down as a "prescription" when she got Leukemia in the 1950's. Talk about the dark ages of cancer treatment."
Also, when I was looking up carpaccio, I came across:
"A wealthy lady, who was an everyday customer, was indeed told by her doctor to eat only raw meat. Unfortunately, at the time, it was not socially acceptable that a lady of her status would order "raw meat" at the most elegant restaurant in the city. It was the waiter who suggested her to use a different name for it. Apparently a painting by Carpaccio was hanging on the wall at the Savini at the time, and the waiter suggested Carpaccio as the "code name" for the dish..."
The latter sounds like "urban legend," however, and I couldn't find a reliable citation.
Dr. Gerson also used raw liver juice in his juice formulas in the 1950s for cancer treatment.
