Only 13% of conventional medicine is evidence-based http://drkaplan.co.uk/2009/11/homeopath ... -emphatic/
Why settle for 13% when you go straight to the horse's mouth and get it down to 11%?

Perhaps it might be because the graph isn't actually saying what the quacks purport it to be doing? Far from being some damning criticism on conventional medicine it's actually a guide to help medical professionals determine which are the most effective treatments and which are only backed by sketchy evidence or appear to have serious issues.
You won't find a similar site for alternative medicine because 100% of it would be in the "unknown" or possibly "likely to be ineffective and harmful" categories.
