Why isn't it "fair" to ask alt-med to provide exactly the same sort of
data on its success rates and survival rates as conventional medicine is
expected to provide? To me, that is the height of fairness. Until
recently, alt-med pretty much got a pass on having to prove its claims
of efficacy.

So what? That does not exempt it from being able to demonstrate its
efficacy.
Quoted message said:What's more organized
medicine won't accept anything alternative, as show here.
Whine, whine, whine. Evidence talks, [censored] walks. The reason most
alt-med claims tend to be rejected is because alt-med advocates can't
produce any compelling evidence to support them.
