Allopathic/osteopathic medicines....

Sure, they have their places, in the right caring and trusted hands.
Especially over the past decades with more knowledge of the immune and inflamatory reasons for illness, much of which we create ourselves, with lifestyles literally to die for. Very die for. And it's especially true more in some fields than others. Some like to say these agents only treat symptoms, but more and more, they also reach for underlying causes, and in these regards, gene replacement therapy beckons huge. Best time ever to be sick VERY SICK. and there really are many ways to skin the proverbial cat. So try to be broad minder about caregivers. The best health professionals are so. My NP and acupuncturist and homeopath, etc. are open minded.

And my psychologist---can't forget the awesome Dr. T.
The most open-minded of all are the pharmaceutical companies, constantly tracking down and examining traditional medicines from distant tribes in the forgotten corners of the world to see what can be adopted, adapted, adulterated, packaged and sold at 10 times the price. sigh

It was sneer sneer sneer at echinacea which used to sell pretty cheaply in bottles of 100 - anyone seen what a blister-pack of 12 will suddenly set you back? wow

And ruthless? If they ever do find rhino horn has a genuine benefit, I give the species a year at best before total extinction in the wild, while forced breeding fills a million cages with extremely bewildered creatures sprouting horns all over their bodies ...
On target as usual, Biff. Actually, I think it's academics in departments of pharmacology and anthropology (?nutrition) who are doing the yeopersons' work with Savannah remedies. Not that big pharma wouldn't murder to get hold of a patent on any (highly marketable) active agent so discovered. I have mixed feelings about these folks. They certainly have caused trouble for many, in various ways, and still do. On the other hand, they have brought forth many useful medicines (and lots of wanabees). Good with bad?
