Integrative and alternative medicine
David Gorski has described integrative medicine as an attempt to bring pseudoscience into academic science-based medicine[1] with skeptics such as Gorski and David Colquhoun referring to this with the pejorative term "quackademia".[2] Robert Todd Carroll described Integrative medicine as "a synonym for 'alternative' medicine that, at its worst, integrates sense with nonsense. At its best, integrative medicine supports both consensus treatments of science-based medicine and treatments that the science, while promising perhaps, does not justify"[3] Rose Shapiro has criticized the field of alternative medicine for rebranding the same practices as integrative medicine.[4]
