    You know what we call “traditional” or “homeopathic” treatments that actually work?

    Medicine.

    Making a platform for con artists to grift on isn’t gonna help things

        That is sort of the aim with this initiative, isn’t it? Right now the standards are not the same, so some alternative treatments are absolut bullcrap while others actually seem to help.

        Now once you find out which ones are a grift, as you say, would you really want all of these call with the same term, alternative medicine? Thats what the previous poster means, it would be much easier to lump those in with what we call now medicines and keep all the bullshit treatments on their own, a.k.a. alternative medicine.
