"If alternative medicine worked, it would be called medicine."

Their definition of "alternative medicine" seems to be that it's an alternative to medicine, instead of the fact that it's complementary to medicine. They reject the complementary part, as it doesn't fit with their paradigm of there being nothing helpful in holistic healing, or worse, that it's harmful, whether physically or monetarily.
