AN IMPORTANT NOTE: While Dr. Weiss implies, in the above video, that it is very complicated and dangerous to transport the blood samples that is not correct. The National Cancer Institute has NEVER raised this problem and sees NO difficulty in safely transporting the samples to Brazil. It will only cost $2,000 to $3,000 and I have offered to pay the cost. But Prof. Weiss, unfortunately, seems uninterested in taking me up on the offer.
