I raise an objection: that's not what it's called in English (my overriding
objection), and "pseudo-medicine" is an invented term hence original
research.

The current article on [[Alternative medicine]] has suffered a bad case of
Gohde and could do with a lot of cleaning up, but the Category links to
Pseudoscience and Protoscience get the point across IMO (having as it does
both).
