Yep that's true only FOOLS would ignore alternative medicine, and those fools have been doing it for quite some time.
Research has been done on plants and their therapeutic value and usage for hundreds of years - the jesuits - the germans, and its all well documented. Any new 'research' would just be a watered down version most likely.
And, most medical schools taught alternative medicine over a hundred years ago, there were many homeopathic medical schools, before they were harrassed out of business.
