> I wonder at your pejorative view of alternative medicine, really I do. It harkens back to home remedies and wisdom from the elders.

That doesn't mean it works!

> That's why the lawyers cannot get at it. It belongs to us all, already. You can't patent anything already in the public domain. Doctors can't prevent anyone from employing this knowledge. It is only because that is so that medical science has vilified the practises.

Medical science vilifies alternative medicine because it is unscientific. As and when alternative practitioners provide empirical evidence that their treatments work and are safe, those treatments cease being alternative and become evidence-based and orthodox.
