It is hypothesizing that sharks are the healthiest beings on earth, having survived virtually unchanged since their creation.
Sharks are immune to practically every disease known to man.
Many scientists and institutions such as the University of Columbia N.Y., The Medical School of the University of Miami and in countries such as Czechoslovakia and Costa Rica proved that shark cartilage works. Scientists believe that the shark's skeleton, composed entirely of cartilage is responsible for its incredible immunity to disease. This process during childhood is beneficial because it enhances the ability of the body in the creation of blood vessels and cell growth. In adulthood though, is related to the growth of tumors. Studies of shark cartilage's inhibition of angiogenesis, have also proven beneficial in the decrease of pain due to chronic arthritis.
