I disagree with this article's assertion that the term modern only encompasses the last 30 years. ᚣᚷᚷᛞᚱᚫᛋᛁᛚ 20:58, 1 May 2004 (UTC)
The history of alternative medicine in the West reads as if there was a conspiracy to suppress it, perpetrated by the Catholic Church and professional physicians. I very much doubt that this is the case. Although I am not terribly familiar medical history, I would think that alternative medicine declined in the face of professional medicine, because professional medicine tended to move in sync with scientific advancement. Alternative medicine was simply labelled superstitious (with good reason), the more science learned about the human body. --129.173.223.103 01:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
