==Metabolic therapies==

"Metabolic therapy", including administration of [[laetrile]], was promoted for cancer patients by John Richardson in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1970s, until his arrest for violating the California Cancer Law and revocation of his license by the California Board of Medical Quality Assurance.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/laetrile.html | publisher = [[Quackwatch]] | title = The Rise and Fall of Laetrile | first = Benjamin | last = Wilson | accessdate = September 15, 2010 | date = February 17, 2004}}</ref>

The [[Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center]] (MSKCC) website describes '''metabolic therapies''' as "strict dietary and detoxification regimens touted to prevent and treat cancer and degenerative diseases", a term and definition different from that used for '''metabolic typing''' in this [[Wikipedia]] article.  The MSKCC website notes, in relation to three such anti-cancer therapies, that "...retrospective reviews of the Gerson, Kelley, and Contreras metabolic therapies show no evidence of efficacy."<ref name="mskcc">[http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/69299.cfm Metabolic Therapies]: Information sheet from [[Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center]].
