Hi everyone,

Weird post, I know but I just can't wrap my head around it.
I found this paper : Full article: Dynamized ultra-low dilution of Ruta graveolens disrupts plasma membrane organization and decreases migration of melanoma cancer cell (tandfonline.com) which results from a "research" work fully funded by Boiron Laboratories (homeopathy) and that claims that their compound can cure cancer, almost literally.

It makes absolutely no sense from a scientific point of view but I cannot comprehend how they were even published in the first place. I am not a cellular biology scientist (I'm an analytical chem PhD student) so I cannot really go deeply in analyzing this article but I hope someone around might be able to.

More than that, I believe that what was done in this paper is deeply flawed and should not have been published in a peer reviewed journal. It did not get much attention but they are publishing more and more paper on the same topic which is concerning because it can be extremely misleading.

I don't really know what I am hoping to do here, partly sharing my frustration, partly hoping that if enough people can express their concern someone in the cellular biology / cancer research field might get involved.

Anyway, even for non specialist of the field it can be entertaining to glance at a paper claiming to cure cancer with an essential oil diluted down to 1 ng/billion of L lol

tl;dr : Found a research paper claiming a cure for cancer by homeopathy and taking it too seriously to not be alarmed
