How to invest in a forming bubble? 1st understand that if you intent solely to get into a forming bubble to make money, you will fail. I.E. mortgage brokers in the housing bubble. 2nd, lets take the Alternative medicine bubble into account to examine possibilities for investment.
If you have friends with a passion for their product or service which falls in the Alternative Medicine category, then simply offer to invest while they are small potatoes. Don't invest anything you can't afford. To really invest in a startup you must understand a few things; profit & Loss statements, break even points, burn rate and marketing strategies.
Finally, if your new startup friends are conducting any kind of Regulation D because they have investors expecting this and they say you don't qualify as an Accredited Investor by government definition, they are right. Their is a loophole however; tell them you are a Sophisticated investor (because of your knowledge of the above elements) and their is 35 investment slots available for Sophisticated Investors (by government definition) for any Regulation D.
Another way is to become a middle man for any alternative health care product. Become a new startup's distribution line.
Another way is to invent technology or a product and create an infomercial.
