Medicine.

That's too flip, what will prove to work and be called "medicine" sometime in the future can still be called "alternative medicine" today.

Medicine certainly has not clinically tested more than a small fraction of the body of "alternative" or "traditional" medicine today, and amongst the untested multitudes, the so called "alternative" medicines cooked up yesterday for infomercials are almost certianly concocted with no basis in any reasonable expectation of clincial benefit.

But some percentage of "traditional" medicine could certainly actually work and had been found so through long experience by societies without access to modern clincial drug and treatment testing.
