10 Crazy Breaking Bad Fan Theories That Completely Change The Show

9. Walt Cured His Cancer With Ricin

The Theory: Shortly after the series finale, several "Walter is not dead" theories began to circulate the internet. Most of them overlooked the fact that even if he survived the gunshot wound, he still had terminal cancer. One of the more interesting suggestions is that Walt survived the shootout and then used the ricin that he kept to cure his cancer. Was It Possible: Extremely unlikely. Strange as it may sound, there is medical evidence that ricin can kill cancer cells (don't try this at home). But while Walt is a brilliant chemist, he is no doctor. He would have a much better chance of killing himself than he would have of curing himself. With that, he would still have to escape the drug lab that he collapsed in before the police (who were very close) got to the scene. Unfortunately, his fitting end came from a gunshot his device fired, surrounded by the chemistry that he loved.
