So very true
It seems that everything I've written about alternative medicine (in other words medicine that doesn't work) is true:
Captured Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic was practising alternative medicine and living in Serbia's capital, Belgrade.
Everything you need to know about alternative medicine is captured in that one sentence.
UPDATE: Oh dear. It's a joke. Clearly not a very good one, judging from the reaction of the first commenter.
