      In the west - yeah? Obviously third worlders also believe in various miracle healers and televangelist preachers and such, but those countries too have scientific minds and communities and bodies that practice evidence-based, aka “western” modern medicine.

      When alternative medicine works, we call it medicine.

          Acupuncture, leech therapy, meditation/yoga are the only ones I can think of. If theres someone reading with an interest in medical history I’d be willing to bet theres a list longer than Ron Jeremy
