A strong critique of promotion of "alternative" treatments targets how they teach false reasoning and spreads misconceptions about science, which is potentially very dangerous."Biomedicine" or "medicine" is that part of medical science that applies principles of biology, physiology, molecular biology, biophysics, and other natural sciences to clinical practice, using scientific methods to establish the effectiveness of that practice.Alternative medicine is based on misleading statements, quackery, pseudoscience, antiscience, fraud, and poor scientific methodology.

Regulation and licensing of alternative medicine and health care providers varies between and within countries.Testing alternative medicine that has no scientific basis has been called a waste of scarce research resources.Critics state that "there is really no such thing as alternative medicine, just medicine that works and medicine that doesn't", that the very idea of "alternative" treatments is paradoxical, as any treatment proven to work is by definition "medicine".As ALL ACCESS first reported late MONDAY afternoon (5/14), WHEELHOUSE RECORDS VP/Promotion TEDDI BONADIES has decided to step aside from her duties effective today (5/15).BROKEN BOW RECORDS MUSIC GROUP EVP JON LOBA tells ALL ACCESS that VP/Radio ...AM, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), complementary medicine, heterodox medicine, integrative medicine (IM), complementary and integrative medicine (CIM), new-age medicine, unconventional medicine, unorthodox medicine How alternative treatments "work": a) Regression to the mean — the individual gets better without treatment.Treated individuals (pill) getting better is used as proof for the "alternative therapy".Alternative practices, products, and therapies – range from ineffective to having known harmful and toxic effects.Perceived effects of alternative medicine may be caused by: placebo; decreased effect of functional treatment (and therefore potentially decreased side effects); and regression toward the mean where alternative therapies are credited for improvement which occurs anyway; or any combination of the three.Unlike medicine, an alternative product or practice does not originate from using scientific methods, but may instead be based on hearsay, religion, tradition, superstition, belief in supernatural energies, pseudoscience, errors in reasoning, propaganda, fraud, or other unscientific sources.In General Guidelines for Methodologies on Research and Evaluation of Traditional Medicine, published in 2000 by the World Health Organization (WHO), complementary and alternative medicine were defined as a broad set of health care practices that are not part of that country's own tradition and are not integrated into the dominant health care system.
