Traditional Medicine -- Give ME an Allopath
I have a decidedly unalternative approach to healing -- call me narrowminded and judgmental, but the basic qualification to step near me with a syringe is adherence to the germ theory. If the World Health Organization is to be credited (and they sound pretty tentative in this article) "traditional healers" are spreading the Marburg Virus. What's killing people in Angola, if WHO is right, isn't "traditional" as in "non-Western" or "pre-scientific" but untrained and unlicensed people using modern tools in deadly ways.
Further: more on Marburg
