There aren't any, its like Tim Minchin said in his fantastic beat poem Storm. When they are proven and repeatable they are medicine, because thats what medicine is.

Except when it isn't. Not all non-medical interventions are for everyone. Not everyone can do meditation or can stand being in a room with some smelly shit. Neither of which can or should be described as medicine. But where these therapies do work with with an individual undergoing medical or surgical treatment, conventional medicine should be supportive. It would also allow them a better voice on highlighting quackery such as those saying that these therapies are better than medicine.
