nick Good to see you on the blogs... Western medicine can prolong life with its treatments regarding cancer or palliative regarding extending life with the hope of reducing pain...surgery is also quite effective...my mother had colon cancer and due to the fact the cancer was encapsulated, she needed surgery but no other treatment...the cancer did not metastasize to other regions of her body...no need for chemotherapy as a result of her biopsy...the side effects of such treatments should be discussed with the patient in order to find an appropriate treatment plan...some may opt out due to the complications/side effects of such treatments...
However many incorporate Eastern medicine with Western and seems to work well for them...problem with naturopathic medicine is that research is needed to validate these types of treatments and so far big pharmaceutical companies have the big bucks to do so...
You have to be careful with naturopathic remedies while taking Western medicines...just because it is a plant based medicine or a natural product...it can still be dangerous combining the two medicines...

Countries such as Canada have had so much change in regards to its population...once a country dominated by European ethnicity...now a mixture of people living quite different culturally speaking...seems to me we need to decide what rules are important to keep and what can be discarded...to be able to live with out so much tension among us...
Thanks for all of your input...it is amazing what evokes such strong feelings towards others' practices and customs...
The niqab may not be worn in all of the Muslim practicing countries...perhaps certain sects...does it matter why she wears it or should it be seen as a right?...dress codes serve a function but allowances should be made to embrace cultural differences...
rain This story didn't have to become so public...but the court failed to come up with a solution or compromise and failed to treat her with respect...she has the right to question practices that maybe too old to uphold...such as the dress code in the courts...
