Modern medicine is the only type which needs to be proven that it works.I have a friend who got swindled out of several thousand dollars and her illness got much worse as a result of "traditional dentistry". A desperate person is easily swindled. If the cure you're peddling can't be proven to work scientifically.

That's very interesting, I've never heard of "traditional dentistry." I think traditional medicine can be really good for certain ailments that are not too serious... but I wouldn't trust it for everything.

I think that traditional medicine and herbalism are often the best way to approach health-care - often "breakthrough" treatments in modern medicine come from ancient practises which had fallen out of favour. The modern scientific approach used to discredit the older ways because it had no way to explain it, and explaining it, proving it, and understanding how things work is the basis of modern science.
