Who messed up?[edit]

As I was wandering through the links, I came to this page and noticed that the quote that is used is clipping through the rest of page below it. How did this happen, who did it, and how can it be fixed?--JabberwockDownTheHole (talk) 15:20, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

No prob. Quarudiet pill - You can't explain that! 15:29, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
That was quick, thanks!--JabberwockDownTheHole (talk) 15:32, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

woo[edit]

Just because some people advocate woo, and abuse people by doing it, does not mean it's not a valid part of modern medicine. the point it becomes woo is the point it is harmful. I was clear in my contributions that this is not an all or nothing approach. Sun mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 19:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC) I should have said this... "this is not an article on Cancer Woo (which we have), but on Cancer..." and alternative theories, along with Schirmer's "seeing the bs from the value" is worth while here.Sun mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 19:29, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Nominating for world's weirdest disease.[edit]

Teratoma. As you probably know, cancer cells are undifferentiated. Well, in this strange cancer of the gonads, those pluripotent cancer cells differentiate at random. Hair, skin, bone, tooth, beating heart, eye, hand, and foot have all been found. I think any disease which makes balls grow teeth deserves serious consideration for the title of "world's weirdest disease". The Heidelberg Kid (talk) 17:33, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Additions[edit]

I realize I use the word area a lot, but honestly, I talk to myself far more than I write. Editions welcome. 'The ever unpresent' Westonbirt (talk) 17:46, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Now this is lulzy, this was released just after I finished taking care of this bitch. Coincidence ? I think not. The ever unpresent Westonbirt 19:51, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Oncolythic viruses[edit]

Non-woo method not covered here. Yes, still on trial, but potentially very potent. My friend works on testing Newcastle disease on rats, she says tumors die in weeks with rat alive and well, though confused (I know there will be caveats discovered, but still). Please, could you add this stuff? Also, it's directly related to evolution theory, even more than other stuff here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncolytic_virus — Unsigned, by: 5.128.33.17 / talk
