Medicine certainly has not clinically tested more than a small fraction of the body of "alternative" medicine today, and amongst the untested multitudes, majority might be bullshit, some percentage could certainly actually work and had been found so through experience by societies without access to modern clincial drug and treatment testing.
Sure. And the time to believe that medicine works is when it has been tested and proven to do so. Not before, on the basis that it hasn't been tested yet, so it might work.
