SUMMARY
A synthesis article by Dr. Joe Schwarcz at the McGill University Office for Science and Society reviewing the history of Krebiozen. The article provides the specific detail that patients were charged $9.50 per dose 'as a contribution' (Schwarcz's wording); that the Durovic brothers described the drug as 'prepared from the blood of Argentinean horses injected with a bacterium'; that the FDA determined it to be 'a mix of mineral oil and creatine, a normal body chemical'; and that the proponents 'had transplanted their millions to Swiss banks' before the 1966 acquittal. The byline and date were confirmed by direct fetch of the page: author 'Joe Schwarcz PhD', dated '20 Mar 2017'.
