Shoppers Drug Mart sells two brands of Shark Cartilage Capsules for the treatment of cancer, arthritis and joint pain.
There is no scientific basis for the use of shark cartilage!
Cancer patients are being diverted from proven, effective treatments!
Over 100 MILLION sharks are killed annually as part of this industry!
Don't delay, take action today!
“Crude shark cartilage is marketed as a cancer cure on the premise that sharks don’t get cancer. That’s not true, and the fact that people believe it is an illustration of just how harmful the public’s irrationality can be. It is worth noting that despite more than a decade of evaluation of shark cartilage, not a single controlled clinical study has established that it works as an anti-cancer agent.” - Gary K. Ostrander, research professor of Biology and Comparative Medicine at The John Hopkins University
Sharks are being hit hard in the ocean with shark finning and for their cartilage now because of an old folklore tradition that “Sharks Don’t Get Cancer So If You Eat Them You Won’t”. Sharks are NOT PROTECTED and are ENDANGERED and NEED US to help stop the production and sale of shark cartilage products and to get them on the Endangered Species list. There are Approximately 100 million sharks killed per year to service this industry. A rate that is faster than they can reproduce.
Please send a letter urging Shopper's Drug Mart to stop selling Shark Cartilage.
