This. Do you know what they call alternative medicine that has been proven to be effective? Medicine!
Example: Did you know that if you grind up the leaves and bark of a willow tree, it cures headaches? If you're too lazy to go find yourself a willow tree, you can just pop an aspirin, as they isolated the active ingredient long ago and sell it separately.
