        Doesn't seem unorthodox at all to me. I guess they needed a flashy label.

        When I look at wikipedia it sounds like he could be trying to do great things for us. His computer system "is able to analyze the genetic data from a tumor sample in 47 seconds and transfer the data in 18 seconds". That sounds awesome and "sharing data on tumor genes and personalized concoction of cancer drugs combination for multi-targeted attacks. The goal is to manage the cancer and achieve a sustained disease-free state" sounds like he's working towards a miracle. Yeah he apparently invented abraxane which wasn't great for us with melanoma compared to what we have now but apparently he's helped in other cancers. Definitely not a quack and I hope I live long enough to see the miracle he's working towards come true.

              60 Minutes did a story on this tonight.  Here's the link.  It's fascinating.
