  Quite funny, had to reflect on my own bias a bit. I still think it's important to be critical of purely observational or anecdotal results when tested evidence driven medicine does exist. For example, suggesting a cancer patient abstain from radiation therapy, offering the alternative of cayenne pepper smoothies.

    haven't seen cayenne pepper studies. While for example drinking baking soda - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19276390 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19276390 significantly slowing cancer spread with for example 4 months survival result - less than 40% of controls and more than 80% of baking soda drinker mice https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2834485/figure/F1/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2834485/figure/... The study has all the statistical bells and whistles. And its result perfectly matches our understanding of cancer spread process - local overproduction of acid from glucose aerobic glycolysis (dominating way of glucose consumption by cancer cells) results in dissolution of the ECM (which is mostly collagen) - and the probable mechanism of action of the baking soda on it.
