Escozine, or Blue Scorpion Venom, was the first thing I found. I have not done much research at that point, and ordering escozine was pretty much a knee jerk reaction. I think I paid a little under $3000 for a 3 month supply.<\/p>\n<p>The escozine web site had virtually no information about what Blue Scirpion Venom was exactly, how it worked or what the active ingredients were. Being a scorpion venom, I have to assume that the active ingredient is some kind of neurotoxin. (As an interesting note, TM 601 a synthetic version of chlorotoxin from the deathstalker scorpion is in phase 2 clinical trials to treat glioma and other cancers expressing MMP-2.)<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Scorpion venom contains over 50 chemicals, enzymes and peptides including phozpholipase, hyaluronidase, the venom peptide RjAa12f, which is the active neurotoxin.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at research, scorpion venom may be most effective in treating gliomas, breast cancer and leukemias. (Not very much on colorectal cancer.)<\/p>\n<p>My experience with Escozine was poor. After 2 months of treatment, there was no noticeable impact on my adenocarcenoma. In hind sight it was a waste of money, but still worth a try I think.<\/p>\n<p>Blue scorpion venom is also available in homeopathic preparations such as Vioxx. I would not recommend these, as although cheaper, the dilutions are so low that you are basically paying for pure water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mskcc.org\/cancer-care\/herb\/scorpion-venom\">http:\/\/www.mskcc.org\/cancer-care\/herb\/scorpion-venom<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chlorotoxin\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chlorotoxin<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.es.lifescozulcuba.com\/paper_2.pdf\">http:\/\/www.es.lifescozulcuba.com\/paper_2.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was first diagnosed with cancer and told that there was no cure, I started looking for possible alternate treatments.
