Wikipedia:Minchin's Law

Minchin's Law is the central law of so-called complementary and alternative medicine (SCAM).

It was originally stated by Australian humourist Tim Minchin as follows:

""By definition", I begin "Alternative Medicine", I continue "Has either not been proved to work, Or been proved not to work. You know what they call "alternative medicine" That’s been proved to work? Medicine.""

Thus, any alternative medical treatment is presumptively bogus.
