	Some Notes on the Institute of Medicine"s Panel on "Complementary and Alternative Medicine"
		There is only medicine that has been adequately tested and medicine that has not, medicine that works and medicine that may or may not work.
		Of course, many treatments used in conventional medicine have not been rigorously tested, either, but the scientific community generally acknowledges that this is a failing that needs to be remedied.
		Alternative medicine also distinguishes itself by an ideology that largely ignores biologic mechanisms, often disparage modern science, and relies on what are purported to be ancient practices and natural remedies (which are seen as somehow being simultaneously more potent and less toxic than conventional medicine).
