What's the alternative?
Chiropractic? Homeopathy? Reiki? Acupuncture? Or maybe fucking faith healing! They are all the same! Useless and harmful. None of them do any good whatsoever.
Medicine is based on science, not wishes and hopes. It isn't perfect, but it is the only thing that has evidence that it actually works. Try curing your malaria or your cancer with homeopathy and you will tragically learn the truth, and the lies of the homeopaths, just like all the rest of alternative medicine.
There is no alternative medicine. There is only medicine, based on science.

I agree with you about homeopathy, but maybe you could try it to cure your fixation about it.
