Question

Many alternative and complementary medicine practices are viewed with skepticism within traditional/mainstream medicine. Why is this the case? What are the advantages and disadvantages to this skepticism?

Answer 1

People become skeptical due to the overflowing abundance of scientific evidence that backs more proof with certain treatments. It makes people more comfortable over all if it is more tested. It would help prove theories if people were more skeptical, since they didn't think it would work previously.
