Drug Repurposing - a great introduction

This week's Yes to Life show on Health Radio with Robin Daly talks to Jane McLelland - she is the wonderful pioneer whose groundbreaking book first introduced this topic to a wider audience. 

"Knowledge about drugs intended for one purpose that actually have beneficial effects in another, say cancer, has been around for a long time, but the lack of financial incentives in off-patent drugs has meant that the research has generally collected dust – until, that is, Jane’s need to survive terminal cancer spurred her into a deep dive into the medical literature."

The show also looks at the Somatic theory of cancer vs the metabolic approach - often the root of why many oncologists are so dismissive of an integrative approach. We so need oncologists and more to understand where those of us taking an integrative approach are coming from.

This Yes to Life radio show is well worth a listen every week - you can also listen back on all the previous shows (8 years worth) with many other pioneers in an integrative approach - see: https://yestolife.org.uk/radio-shows/
