Does anyone have any scientific evidence supporting alternative medicine?

Robin Weelborg: Once 'Alternative Medicine' has been scientifically proven it becomes MEDICINE. If you check out http://www.quackwatch.com/ you can search specific treatments and their evidence or lack of.

Gaylord Barragan: I dearly appreciate the AMA(american medical association.)Having said that......Most of the rest of the world uses homeopathy.For one single reason. It works very well. Been around since the Dawn of Shamanism.For goodness sakes even the chinese still use it as well as acupressure and acupuncture. I believe the AMA is a little too haughty As well as a very good sourceof procedural medicines and therapy. so ..... The AMA is good but there is goodness and a lot of it in alternative medicine....Show more
