I am curious to see how these clashes in viewpoints develop from a more international perspective.
Traditional versus modern medicine, versus misinformation; ancient cultural rooted customs versus science and a billion dollar industry. Beliefsystems; placebo effect versus empirical data.
I hope we will have some positive cross-pollination.
Absolutely! We have so much to learn from traditional medicine. First, let’s find people suffering from hallucinations and drill holes in their heads! Then, let’s find sick people and seek to balance their humors using bloodletting.
I think regulatory and scientific advisory bodies should use science and evidence to endorse or condemn practices, not what’s traditional or not.
