Sure, but that's the informed part of informed consent. Before you can start a treatment like this you have to have all the risks and benefits spelled out for you plainly by a real medical professional. Informed consent doesn't mean no rules at all and you regulate the messaging. "This drug is known to be poisonous and at the prescribed dosage it would be lethal. There is no no success of this drug treating any disease including cancer." I can't imagine anyone signing up after that.

> "This drug is known to be poisonous and at the prescribed dosage it would be lethal. There is no no success of this drug treating any disease including cancer." I can't imagine anyone signing up after that. People were quite literally drinking bleach to try and cure COVID. People already vastly mistrust the medical system, they would sign up gladly because the friendly guy at the local herb store told them about it and then blame the doctor for when they die from it.
