"Alternative" medicine isn't medicine, it's belief. There may be some so-called alternative practices that work, but there are very, very few that have been demonstrated to work with any empirical success. Echinacea, for instance, has long been held to be effective but actual double-blind testing reveals it is not. The problem with "alternative" practices is that they include a wide range of treatments that vary from herbs to homeopathy to nonsense like reiki.
While some herbs have some demonstrable effect, many others have none at all. There are also herbs that are far less effective than scientifically created and tested drugs. There are even herbs that have contraindications with drugs and other herbs. And so on. No one is suggesting that "science has all the answers." Science is a process, not a repository. But I will assert and maintain that nonsense like you are standing by has little to know real answers at all. It has only belief. And it is that belief that kills people every year. Dumbasses keep talking about the importance of 'alternative' remedies over the 'establishment' of medicine and create believers who DIE FROM NEGLECT.
The "unexplained (the mystical)" is still here because people are gullible and refuse to use critical thinking. And science is not technology, either, which further demonstrates your ignorance. Technology is a product of the process of science.
If there is even ONE SINGLE THREAD OF TRUTH to your claim and the claims of the assholes you mentioned above to be true, please cite the evidence that these methods are effective. If you cannot, its all just snakeoil and hot air.
