Re: What Does Cancer Smell Like?

How interesting - it is like the 5 element theory. A smell is associated with disharmony in each.

I would guess that different cancers would have different smells, and the subtypes would be unique as well.

This is outside the box thinking - would love to see some noninvasive tests come from this.

This is probably why some of us had our pets diagnose us by the funny smell coming out of our breasts.
