Tell that to Montsano. I wish you were correct. In fact, I wish you were correct about the whole thing. But wishing isn't enough.

And no not EVERY person who takes Vitamin B17 survives cancer.

Thanks. So the answer to at least one of the questions is no. Therefore, testimonials are worthless. Testimonials only refer to a single case, and there's no way to tell whether that individual would have survived without the B17. That's why you need a) a large sample size, b) a control group, c) a placebo group, and d) double-blind procedures.

They have done studies on Vitamin B17.

And the studies showed no beneficial effect. I suppose you could keep testing for 200 years, and hope the results change.

Alternative medicine is big business and WILL GET EVEN BIGGER!

No doubt. They're corporations, just as amoral as the pharmaceutical industry, and unhindered by research budgets or FDA regulation. They'll roll in dough.

And no, not everyone who tries alternative therapy can cure themselves from cancer just as a triple bypass surgery doesn't always cure everyone who has a heart problem!!

You misunderstood my point. I was saying that there will be survivors and nonsurvivors in any case, so individual stories don't give any useful information.
Just remember that the "alternative" in "alternative medicine" means "unproven."
