Niehans conducted in 1931, his first test of his "Niehans' Method", what would later be called fresh cell theory. Niehans promoted it as a cure for many diseases and ailments, everything from cancer, to anemia, diabetes, heart issues, homosexuality, impotence and sexual disfunction. He also advocated it as a form of breast enhancement. Fresh cell therapy is considered an unproven method of cancer treatment and quackery by medical experts. In the United States and Switzerland, it is not legally available because of safety concerns and lack of proof of its effectiveness. The World Health Organization does not recognize its usefulness as a form of medical treatment. ==References==
