An interesting (but very long) article called: Food, Medicine, Poison & “Molecular Vitalism" (Novel Conceptual and Clinical Tools for the Botanical Treatment of Cancer) can be read here.
An excerpt from the article:
The emerging integrative model of cancer treatment recognizes the importance of botanical medicine. However, despite extensive positive research data from experimental and preclinical studies, and the anecdotal clinical experience of many practitioners, patients and cancer survivors, its potential in this field remains largely untapped and large-scale clinical trials are generally unavailable. The reasons for this are multifactorial, and include historical, political, and cultural factors – and almost invariably a misunderstanding of the core principles of herbal medicine itself.
