They weren't "alternative," they were mainstream. Money changed the language.
Edit: how old of a PDR have you seen? I found one for 'herbal medicines ' which seems to be for docs to answer patient questions, naming negative interactions between herbs and prescription meds. Also see some used copies from 2004-5.

That's why I said so called alternative.
PDR first published in 1947. I believe the one I heard referenced was early 50s. It included pine gum spirits for parasites.
I'll keep looking now, and maybe get the herbal one, where they'll probably tell the docs to naysay all the remedies
