And yes, I believe stories from real people who have survived terminal illnesses using alternative methods.

I also believe that OJ killed Nicole, Al Gore won & cigarettes are addictive.
I believe you too when you say these people didn't die, I just doubt the fact the alternative medicines are the reason. None of these 'medicines' have been studied for effectiveness. There is no proof whatsoever. When I look at these medicines or the texts people who are considered 'experts' on these subjects, I no logic. In their books, they never prove anything, they just say 'patient A reacted positively on what I did'. That is of course nothing near proof. These 'experts' mostly have no idea what they are doing.

I'm now not sure of exactly what you mean by 'alternative'. Do you mean homeopathy and stuff, or the semi-scientific 'vitamin treatments'?

I'll look into that other post later, I'm not familiar with these sources and studies. It takes some time to consider everything, I cannot do that now.
