Thanks for your informative post. It bears repeating the notable quote from Christine Jacobs: ... "she is confident her company will remain the leader in palladium, which she says kills cancer 3 times faster than iodine" and "We've got an 11-year head start in an industry with significant (regulatory) barriers to entry" That says it all.

Just some technical info...Palladium may kill cancer cells 3 times faster, but Iodine stays radioactive and "kills" much longer, so Palladium is not always best. In theory, Palladium is used for a faster growing tumor instead of Iodine. There is not a whole lot of long term data on which isotope is better. Time will tell.
