pseudo-medicine or alternative medicine by definition is “medicine practices that
includes practices claimed to have the healing effects of medicine but which are disproven, unproven, impossible to prove, or are excessively harmful in relation to their effect; and where the scientific consensus is that the therapy does not, or can not, work because the known laws of nature are violated by its basic claims”
So you’re wrong
There’s nothing inherently wrong with alternative medicine and the idea that “there’s a reason it’s not just called mecicine” leads a lot of people to reject treatment that could improve their quality of life and have legitimate scientific research behind it. There definitely is a lot of hokum out there and there are bad practitioners but you shouldn’t write off all complementary and alternative medicine practices, especially given some of the huge institutional flaws in modern western medicine.
