Yes, the merge is a bad idea. Quack medicine should be merged with fraud rather.

Alternative medicine might involve things like strong suggestion and placebos, and actually work. Quack medicine involves cleaning out the last assets of the victim and their family.

That's the best way to put the distinction I've heard.
I strongly disagree with a merge and think that Quackery should be a subcat of Medicine instead of Alternative medicine. One can dupe patients with unnecessary traditional-type therapies as much as one can with alternative ones.
