i think he is reffering to science that isnt mainstream, that has been supressed for some reason or another and isnt funded by the Foundations like say Westernised medicine for example. Its all science, i think the term 'alternative' just distinguishes it from the fact that it isnt pushed by the mainstream for some reason or another, like for example that herb from China that stops bleeding, its fact that it does stop bleeding and is very good for you, but because its a plant its described as 'alternative medicine' because it cannot be patented and therefor they cannot make much money from it because you could just grow it yourself, my point is even though this is called 'alternative medicine' their is nothing alternative about it at all, it is infact the original medicine that people have used for thousands of years in reality it should be synthetic medicine that is 'alternative', basically the term is just a pigeon-holed term instilled in our psyche to ensure that we differentiate between them.
as a caviaet i just want to say, im not saying everything 'alternative' is better than mainstream carte blanche, you still need to use your discernment i mean you get people out their in 'alternative medicien' trying to sell you machines that will make you live for 200 years.
Alternative science is another phrase for junk science. Crackpot theories from people outside of the recognised scientific community. Because the people in alternative science don't hold advanced scientific qualifications, there's usually very little scientific methodology behind them.
It is science where you don't have to follow scientific method, don't have to have anything peer reviewed and don't have to back up your assertions with anything remotely resembling data.

Pseudo-Psychological bull. No empirical evidence, unproved assertions and New Age quackery.
This is exactly what I did. DNA is used for electromagnetic energy reception and transmission? I mean, just WTF!
