The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. In other words, the burden of proof is upon those who wish to prove that laetrile is an effective cancer treatment, not the other way around. Therefore one cannot go around saying "...but no one has proved it doesn't work". There is ample evidence to suggest it both does not work, and in fact is dangerous. Therefore double-blind trials are not conducted due to the inherent risk of killing one's patient. Cheers Halogenated (talk) 03:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
