There is no such thing as alternative medicine. There is medicine that's been shown to be effective and safe. There is medicine that has not been proven to be safe and effective. There is medicine that has been shown to be ineffective and/or unsafe. https://twitter.com/BriaUnkudu/status/1138447995995938820 …

And this is exactly why I feel that scientists, doctors, educators need to participate on social media.

Just like how alternative facts are not facts but rather the musings of deluded megalomaniacs and their minions.

Overall I agree w you, but in medicine, the alternative label is used for herbal therapies even when they have been shown effective. I understand why so many patients reach outside of what "we" offer, and I don't have great answers for them. Sadly, many MD are just not curious.

If an herbal medicine "works" it's because there's a drug (or drugs) in it. The whole reason pharmacology arose is because drugs in herbal medicine are adulterated, impure, and of unreliable efficacy and safety because of lot to lot variability in content of active ingredient.
