It has been well known for decades that platinum and compounds of platinum kill cancer. In fact, most chemo drugs for cancer are platinum compounds. It has been widely reported in the alternative medical community that platinum nanoparticles in colloidal form will also kill cancer. Do the nanoparticles kill cancer by the same means as the compounds? Is there scientific data available that details the mechanism?
Best answer:
I had not heard of that info before.
I would advise you to do what I did - when you wonder about the scientific value of some data you found, run it through the NCBI database. It is the clearinghouse for scientific data.
I queried "platinum nanoparticles cancer" and found 5 publications. It seems there are Phase I studies about platinum nanoparticles, the main advantage seems to be the drug delivery right to the tumor. However, there does NOT seem any data so far that would support any overwhelming optimism, even if the alternative community sees this differently.
