Yeah, because it's complete bullshit. Leave your pseudoscience clap trap away from vulnerable people.

  I'll be happy to get more details on your reasoning. Do you have any bad experience with it?

    We know how cancers work to a pretty good level of detail. This means that it can be fairly straightforward to classify many treatments as ineffective. The other point is that cancer research is incredibly well funded by non-partisan, non-commerical organisations (charities like Cancer Research UK don't have an active stake in one approach over another). The notion that these alternative remedies are being wilfully ignored doesn't stand up to any remotely rigorous evaluation.

      > We know how cancers work to a pretty good level of detail. IIRC, Steve Jobs was survived with alternative medicine for sometime than surgery. So, I'm more interested to know any research conducted on alternative medicines (to prove that they're wrong and ineffective). As it seems to work for Indians this can better be tried like yoga

        IIRC, Steve Jobs died. Furthermore, cancer survival rates in India are worse than in the west - what's the justification for the claim that these alternative treatments work for Indians?
