There is a lot of information about using blue scorpion venom to prevent and treat cancer that is being spread by word of mouth and widely advertised on social networks, most of which are believed to originate from Cuba. However, many leading cancer professors in Cuba have said that they do not use this product in treatment. At the same time, there is no scientific basis for the cancer treatment effects of products containing blue scorpion venom.

On the contrary, many research citations show that blue scorpion venom supplements can spread and increase the invasion of cancer cells. Patients need to be alert and understand that scorpion venom products are not a miracle drug.

In fact, blue scorpion venom is an active ingredient with many uses in medicine, and many studies have confirmed its effects in pain relief and symptom relief in patients with terminal cancer. This has created conditions for scorpion venom products in both medicinal and dietary supplement forms to enter the market, including smuggled and counterfeit products, with messy product labels and instructions for use that vary from place to place.

Sellers take advantage of trust to advertise products with the principle of activating the body's natural immunity to destroy cancer cells, thereby treating some types of cancer such as liver, lung, breast, and early and late stage digestive tract cancer. While in fact, cancer treatment requires many combined therapies, not just using a product or functional food to be able to cure the disease.

People should not listen to folk methods, word of mouth or baseless advertising and miss the golden time to treat the disease. It is best to consult a doctor before using any medicine or other supplements, to avoid the risks that may occur when using the medicine incorrectly.
