I have some idea how science works. Science is like a religion: if something can't be measured, it is not real in the name of science. Don't take me too seriously though. If chemotherapy works, good for you. Just trying to present alternative views into this. I've heard so many stories and people talking how chemotherapy was the cause that killed them. But sure, I am just shooting opinions here. Like everyone else here. And I believe I have some idea how science works, so don't assume something you don't know.

That's exactly why science is not at all like a religion: "can be measured" really just means "affects the real world". If something affects the real world (and that includes the human mind), it can be studied using scientific methods. If it doesn't, well... what's the point? As for chemotherapy, yes, most of it is really nasty stuff that can kill you (and in gruesome ways, too). But cancer is really nasty stuff that will kill you in gruesome ways. That's the only reason why such dangerous therapies with really bad side effects are used - because sometimes they're the only thing that can keep you alive. Quite often actually, though it may not feel that way at the time.
