Things go from “under investigation” medicine to medicine once good peer reviewed science shows them to be effective.
If the peer reviewed research shows them to not be effective, and if snake oil salesmen figure out a business model to fleece people with it, that’s when it becomes “alternative” medicine.
- LinuxBender 5y agoI am somewhat curious how many products used in scams were not actually scams themselves. Meaning, the molecule had benefits but the people pushing it were shady and deceptive exaggerating claims of beneifts so now people psychologically associate the word with a scam or quackery. I ask this as someone that consumes Krill Oil, Coconut Oil, Oregano Oil and misc other oils. Perhaps Snake Oil [1] is worth a study or two.
