Vidatox on sale in an international pharmacy in Havana, Cuba. Foreigners from across the world come to Cuba to buy these containers for $210 each. Cubans can get the same medicine packaged differently for free with a prescription.
For more than 20 years, Cubans have been treating cancer patients with blue scorpion venom. Thousands attest to pain relief, increased muscle strength, and renewed energy while on the medicine.
