At this point, it's pretty clear that ravi only read the title of the article. As people have repeatedly pointed out, it is not a slam piece on "alternative" medicine; it points out the effectiveness of a number of alternative remedies, as determined by scientific testing. I think a better read of the title is "no alternative to scientific assessment of claims".
