I don't disagree. And not just Asia. Worldwide, shamens, witchdoctors etc brought some good and lots of bad in the name of health. But then so did 'actual' doctors. I think the thing is that 'real' science and medicine moves forward when errors are found by research and correction, whereas pishposh practices dismiss the errors by stating "they must've done it wrong or eaten something I said not to." etc., and then carry along the same bitter road. Sadly 'the errors' often meant lives. Some people are culturally accepting it - education required, some feel that real science has failed them - education required, some think magic is real - eductaion definitely required. Until those issues are addressed the yin yanging of the world will continue.
