From: http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=2211 Alternative medicine: Healing arts not taught in traditional Western medical schools that promote options to conventional medicine that is taught in these schools.. An example of an alternative therapy is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy that has been recommended by a Western physician. Complementary medicine is different from alternative medicine. Whereas complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine, alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. See also complementary medicine, conventional medicine. From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/alternative+medicine: A variety of therapeutic or preventive health care practices, such as homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, and herbal medicine, that do not follow generally accepted medical methods and may not have a scientific explanation for their effectiveness. A variety of therapeutic or preventive health-care practices that are not typically taught or practiced in traditional medical communities and offer treatments that differ from standard medical practice. Homeopathy, herbal medicine, and acupuncture are types of alternative medicine. No mention anywhere of 'Proven not to work'

By definition, Alternative "medicine" basically refers to activities that have not been demonstrated to work, or shown not to work. With the exception of very, very few, the vast majority are scientifically implausible (e.g. homoeopathy, Reiki, faith healing, etc.)

Well there is real medicine which is shown to work, is science based and carried out in a robust and methodological way and then there is the alternative.

To iansand...let's hope you never eat deathcap mushroom for no drug on the planet can save you. You need alternative medicine - you need the herb milk thistle.... As the Santa Cruz Sentinel reports >>> "six people who ate deathcap mushrooms over New Years 2007 were rushed to the local hospital, where the doctors, in a desperate search for something that could help reverse the rapid destruction of their patient's livers and thus save their lives, came across milk thistle as a proven antidote. Unfortunately, the herbal medicine was unapproved by the FDA. Not willing to give up, the doctors petitioned the FDA for an emergency IND (Investigational New Drug) status for the milk thistle extract, and in the interim gave the patients oral silymarin from a natural foods store. The FDA granted the request, and the IV extract was immediately shipped from Europe. Five of the six patients had a complete reversal of symptoms, their lives saved. The sixth, a woman 83 years old, succumbed to kidney failure. Even still, Dr. Mitchell (the attending physician) commented that "...her liver function was improving because of her treatment, and unfortunately factors other than her liver resulted in the final complications".

A lot of alternative medicine is quackery, scams and fraud. Much like the website you posted, where you are claiming to 'remove', among other things; Alzheimers Disease, Hepatitis B, Liver cancer, and Prostate Cancer. Well, no you can't. If I'm wrong please post your robust, peer reviewed scientific data that proves otherwise.

There is not one clear answer for some Altmed don't really know it themselves, be it because of mental retardation, be it because of pure ignorance. Alternative medicine is in fact not alternative. The names have been switched to create an illusion, or a lie. In fact regular medicine is alternative. Normal is : you have a problem. You look for cause, resolve it, and disease is gone. Alternative is : you say I am not guilty. Someone else solves it. I pay for it. Oh no, I also let others pay for it. We set up a construction of parasites. In material words : BIG PHARMA and GOVERNMENT get into the game. So that's a little bit about human history. I hope you're not too proud of being a human :)

Alternative medicine is treatment that does not work.
