The library
Every treatment, graded by evidence
Hospital medicine and alternative medicine, held to the same standard: what do the actual human studies show? Each page tells you the bottom line first, then shows every source. How the grades work →
Turmeric / Curcumin
A real lab story, weak human evidence — and real interactions with chemo and tamoxifen.
Read the evidence → UnknownFenbendazole

Read the evidence → UnknownFasting Around Chemo
May ease chemo for some — unproven, and dangerous if you're already losing weight.

A great anti-parasite drug. For cancer: lab signals, one small ongoing trial, no results.

Famous names, honest rankings — and what actually predicts good care.
