Natural form of healing has been practiced since the ancient time, and there are places among modern medicine. However, we are not riding camel and relying on sword as weapon anymore. Our biological and immune system moving along with the scientific progress of modern age. Be wise thus using real statistic to analyze the reality.

Bgood41.

How much of modern medicine is based on ancient traditional forms of meds?

Short answer, way more than the companies want you to know about, as most modern meds still rely on that knowledge to get produced(hence why the amazon is in danger as the plants there provide the chemicals for your pills, etc).

Said that take ancient meds, distil it and you might end up with a medicine that lacks the protection from side-effects that the original med has.

In short some meds work due to a certain chemical but should rely on others to reduce side-effects and this is where modern meds goes wrong they focus on what helps but refuse anything else that might be benefitial.

Modern medicine wants a quick cure(no prevention) and thus ignores anything that won't make them a profit besides the given objective.

Herbs as a Medicine is really good, Food Heals... But that exorcism stuff is for the birds.

People can use alternative and natural medicine without monetarily supporting islam in which the article admitted some of these healers were terrorists and recruiting centers for terrorism. I`d rather die than think my money was used to promote the death of thousands of others and oppression of millions.
