Pancreatic cancer is something that has such a low success in treatment, it makes sense why humans would just try whatever.

I think its hard to judge folks in this situation. Most of us aren't faced with Pancreatic cancer to know what it does to the psyche.

Medicine can be reductive to the degree of the blind men and the elephant. Holisticism as a concept makes sense given that contrast.

Your reply does not deserve to be flagged. "Holistic medicine" is just one of the many rebrandings of "alternative medicine." Maybe I wouldn't have put it exactly that way, but "holistic" is definitely one of those key words that should gently sound the quackery alert. Like "herbal" and "detox" and "homeopathy" and "naturopathy" and so on.
