The term 'alternative medicine' that is so commonly used today is somewhat unsuitable since that would seem toindicate that it is a form of treatment departing from so-called 'traditional' scientific practices and is just a possibility for a new treatment of disease.The truth is, so called 'alternative' medicine is the natural treatment of disease that was in effect in ancient times long before conventional medicine was ever introduced. Alternative medicine is traditional, whereas conventional medicine is relatively new and not traditional. So conventional medicine should rightly be deemed 'alternative.'
