I would advise you to do what I did - when you wonder about the scientific value of some data you found, run it through the NCBI database. It is the clearinghouse for scientific data. I queried "platinum nanoparticles cancer" and found 5 publications. It seems there are Phase I studies about platinum nanoparticles, the main advantage seems to be the drug delivery right to the tumor. However, there does NOT seem any data so far that would support any overwhelming optimism, even if the alternative community sees this differently. Read some of the article summaries yourself, they're quite interesting. I had not heard of that info before.
