Is that an example from the 15th century? Is there nothing more modern?

Is that an example from the 15th century? Is there nothing more modern?
- mattkrause 6y agoSeems to me that's the whole point? Effective treatments as been subsumed into "mainstream" medicine, perhaps with a bit of purification/standardization along the way, while the ineffective and unproven stuff remains "alternative medicine". If it somehow turns out that homeopathy is an effective therapy for something (besides dehydration), it'll end up with a procedure code, the hospital pharmacy will stock 10x tincture of whatever, and eventually it will be just another mainstream medical treatment.
