Arg help me find the word i'm looking for in my head

[DanTMWTMP]

The word I'm looking for means "not based on scientific evidence."

I would use it in the following context:

"That business help book is based on only _____ evidence, therefore its advice should be taken with a grain of salt. There's no scientific backing for it."

It means "personal evidence."


help?

EDIT:
edited my sentence since i got caught by the grammar police

anectodal sort of fits
subjective is a bit of a fit
circumstantial is a bit legal...

Pseudo-science is not an adjective. God dammit, a fiery judgment will rain down upon you and your ilk--a punishment for your unspeakable crimes against the English language.
