my definition of alternative medicine differs from yours; in my book
it is medicine without the use of products of the pharmaceutical
industry - You are right when you say that there are reliable cure
rates for mainstream medicine. Chemotherapy e.g. has been reliably
established as having a cure rate of 3%. Are you afraid that Gerson
cannot duplicate that?

multiple centers and outcomes are monitored by independent data monitoring boards. A control is used for comparison purposes, and patients are randomized to one treatment arm or the other to prevent patient selection bias. I'm not aware of any such study method for Gerson therapy, which is why it's among the alternative therapies ...
which by most definitions means not formerly tested. I think a reliable cure rates could only come from such studies because testimonials can't account for the number of patients who used a therapy and did not benefit. That is to calculate a rate you must have a denominator. ~ Karl
