Background
Krebiozen was a product that was claimed to treat cancer in the 1940s and 1950s. But there was no evidence to support these claims.
Some people claimed that krebiozen was prepared from the blood of horses that had been injected with bacteria. It was later found that krebiozen was simply mineral oil and creatine.
There is no good scientific evidence to support the use of krebiozen for any purpose.
