A lot of research does not need capitalist incentives. Research to develop a new class of drugs is expensive. Research to see if a common treatment is effective is much less costly. Good evidence is also repeatable for verification.
The reason alternative medicine does not have evidence is indeed capitslism. You make more profit selling unproven cheap remedies than bothering to do research. It’s not the converse, that alternative medicine is blocked out of research due to cost.
