Any evidence that holistic treatment for cancer works? Or just anecdotal evidence?

The evidence is people who were given up as terminal by conventional MDs still walking around alive and functioning.
You failed to answer the question.
Please allow me to rephrase.
Do you have any evidence other than personal testimony, which not only covers an insignificant percentage of the total amount of individuals using holistic treatments, but is also limited to survivors.
We do not have the testimony of cancer victims who used holistic treatments where such treatments failed for the simple reason they are dead.
Your anecdotal evidence is suspect for that very reason.
Now, in order to have more than anecdotal evidence, one would take a sample population (the larger the better) and then look at how many used traditional treatments, and how many used holistic treatments, and then compare the two to see which had a higher survival rate.
Unfortunately, I doubt you can even begin to understand what I am saying.
Please feel free to prove me wrong by directly answering Theodoric's question.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
