Nothing is proven to work in anything.

Well, I guess it is fairly well proven that if we take two ends of a broken bone and stick them together they will heal up.

When it comes to drugs, herbs, supplements, and foods, nothing is proven. Everyone's biology and genes vary too much. What will do benefit for one will do harm to another.

Everything is experimental. Nothing is proven. That is unless you consider "60% of the sample achieved a 50% improvement of symptoms"...well, if that's a definition of "proven", then I guess a lot of things are proven, including most of the substances you listed. To me, those statistics are not proof of anything, except that they are proof they are 5% to 15% more effective than a sugar pill.
