UCB Pharma and http://nccam.nih.gov/health/whatiscam which you use as a heading for what the alternative board is about, disagree with your opinon and consider it conventional medicine. (I know because I wrote to them both)

So is adrafinil, but its still all over the meds board...and funnily enough, adrafinil is very similar, pharmacologically to modafinil (provigil), abit like piracetam is to levetiracetam (Keppra)
