Sorry, you're completely right... I meant to give you the US Gov link!

That's totally what I was looking for! Thank you, I'm going to read this over tonight.

I do see here that it says it's in combination with chemical anesthesia, however this is NIH-reviewed which adds some weight to it. I do like to see alternative methods tested in this way, in case they DO have some positive effects. Thanks again!

You're very welcome.

I'm actually pretty conservative myself, but after having my brother go through terminal illness (different cancer, scarily similar circumstances), I've seen the agonizing side effects of both chemo and bone marrow transplants, I'm willing to keep an open mind.

Now, to the point of Satoshi Kon, you're also quite right that no alternative medicine would ever cure him and we both know that. But the treatments he was getting (acupuncture and chiropractic) were to treat a numb leg, which they likely thought at the outset was a pinched nerve or back problem.

Really, I think the angle we need in medicine is a way to detect cancers earlier via blood or some other protein test. That way traditional medicines can offer a true cure, and not just a slow, painful extension of life. (ugh... hopping off soapbox now!)
