Integrative medicine describes any practice that aims to realize the healing effects of drugs , but which lacks organic plausibility and is unproved, untestable or proven inefficient. medicine (CM), complementary and medicine (CAM), integrated medicine or integrative medicine (IM), and therapeutic care are among many rebranding’s of an identical phenomenon. Alternative remedy share in common that they reside outside life science , and believe pseudoscience. Traditional practices become "alternative" when used outside their original settings without proper scientific explanation and evidence. Frequently used derogatory terms for the choice are new-age or pseudo, with little distinction from quackery. Some alternative practices are supported theories that contradict the science of how the real body works; others resort to the supernatural or superstitious to elucidate their effect. In others, the practice is plausibly effective but has too many side effects. Medicine is distinct from experimental medicine, which employs the technique to check plausible therapies by way of important and ethical clinical trials, producing evidence of either effect or of no effect. Investigation into alternative therapies often fails to follow proper investigation protocols (such as placebo-controlled trials, blind experiments and calculation of prior probability), providing invalid results.
