Why do you keep assuming that none of these alternative methods have been tested?

They aren't new, cutting edge and experimental. They aren't unproven because they are so cutting edge that they haven't been approved or tested yet.

They are questioned because they literally are unprovable. I could go to a magic healer that cures my cancer by praying for me and it might work but there is no way to prove that.
