Alternative medicine is a misnomer by definition

[Sir Bogdiver]

"In the end, there is no such thing as alternative medicine; if an alternative medicine works, then it’s medicine; and if it doesn’t work, then it’s not an alternative. In any case, it’s all subject to scientific study. We no longer have to shrug our shoulders and look to the gods for an explanation."

As stated by Paul A. Offit, MD, professor of pediatrics and the director of the Vaccine Education Center at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia on the Daily Beast web site.
