The holistic way DOES NOT cure cancer? Any articles that say that?
I am looking for articles that say the holistic way does not cure cancer and I can’t seem to find any. Any help? Thanks!
You can start with the American Cancer Society:
ACS: Holistic Medicine

"Available scientific evidence does not support claims that holistic medicine, when used without mainstream or conventional medicine, is effective in treating cancer or any other disease. "
Well I’m trying to promote holistic methods and not too willing to assist you in this matter. However I’m sure there are TONS of articles from the MEDICAL field talking against it. To pinpoint an article would be against my philophosy.
Happy hunting.
Positive thinking helps
Dip breathing increase oxygen in body helps
More fibers fruits & vegetables helps
Faith in God helps

Really hard to find people willing to participate in that study.
You’d have to compare conventional treatment vs alternative treatment. Some participants would get one, some would get the other kind of treatment.
Would you volunteer for a study if you had cancer and might be in the group that gets no treatment?
There are no articles to say that pigs can’t fly either.
The problem is that most medical doctors don’t do trials on the holistic medicines, because 1. they are not funded by drug companies, 2. they are testing other real medicine, 3. there isn’t time to test every single claim that some quack comes up with.
I don’t discount holistic healing and use it a lot for normal every day things, but with cancer I won’t take the chance – you die from this crap if you don’t stop it.
There will be little info out there about it not working because the tests aren’t done. All you will find is testimonials from people who claimed it works on them – not even tests done that show it does work.
Of course there are no testimonials from the people that die while under holistic care, are there?
Because they can’t prove that it doesn’t. Major medical authorities been trying for decades to prove holistic medicine doesn’t work, and they are incapable of doing so.
Modern medicine cannot make the claim that they cure cancer either, since that is also unproven. Patients only go into an indefinite state of "remission."
Most posters seem to take the side that absence of proof it doesn’t work is good enough proof that it must. How backwards…
How about proof that it does work? Show me that, please. Usually that is what is required before we accept anything in life. There is no proof man can’t POSSIBLY fly, only lots of examples of man failing to do so. So does one take their chances? Not me (this speaks to the flying pig comment above).
Show me real studies that show it works, not testimonials or one person’s report, but an actual randomized study using scientific method that shows holistic care works. There is nothing unfair about the scientific method- it screens out all comers without prejudice if conducted properly- either the treatment works or it doesn’t. It is not biased- most drugs from big pharmaceuticals fail this crucial truth test.
You should re-phrase your question- Are there any articles that say it DOES work? The burden of proof is on the holistic practitioner.
God bless, best wishes
