      Well, this is a tangent. My comment wasn’t even defending “alternative” medicine. But, the assumption there would basically be that every actually effective treatment that previous cultures/methodologies had identified has also been identified by modern “Western” medicine. It may be a good rule of thumb but it’s not universally the case.
