Science isn't perfect yet it holds itself up as the standard and everything else is wrong.

Really? That's not true.

When 90% of studies have flaws, where do they get off casting aspersions on alternative health?

Really? I am surprised that the number is so low. No study is perfect.

While the studies have flaws (that's why they are repeated and the
hypotheses tested in different ways), the difference between science and
conjecture-based medicine (aka con-med or alternative medicine) is that
there is good scientific evidence to back up science-based medicine.
There is no good evidence to back up con-med.

Another difference is that everything in medicine and science can be
proven wrong if a better explanation comes along. That's not try in any
other field.
