I feel obligated to say that "alternative medicine" means treatment attempts that are not based on science or evidence.

  They are based on evidence, but that evidence has not been scientifically evaluated.

    And given how that worked for cultures before the modern age, I'll stick to those who choose to study medicine. Not those who simply prescribe whatever they felt worked once, for a reason unknown to them.

      Why do you need a straw man to justify your point?

    Which, to me, is equivalent to saying it's not based on evidence.

      Which means that you are also saying that the court system is not based on evidence.
