I was serious. I mentioned homeopathy and other alt-med therapies because that was the subject of the letter in the OP. Homeopathy has those things you asked for - plenty of anecdotes, in vivo and in vtro studies, plus clinical trials of various quality. Just because you find it implausible does not mean that others do.
I'm not sure your turmeric is a good substitute because we already have evidence that it is ineffective (pharmacokinetics show that the amount absorbed is trivial, an epidemiological study was negative (it was reported as though it was positive), and a clinical trial was negative) to put up against your non-evidence. Even if we stick with therapies which don't already have evidence against them, googling "alternative cancer therapies" gets you dozens of treatments for which testimonials abound and plausible sounding explanations are given. If I'm meant to be promoting unproven therapies, am I supposed to offer all of them? If not, how do I pick one or a few? To be honest, homeopathy makes the most sense, since at least I can be sure about the "do no harm" part.
