@ mh.brewer- Are you a doctor, nurse or otherwise involved somehow in the medical profession? Not attacking you over it or anything, just many of your posts have kind of led me to believe you might be involved with westernized medicine somehow

What is "westernized" medicine, exactly?

• Western medicine  (WES-tern MEH-dih-sin)A system in which medical doctors and other healthcare professionals (such as nurses, pharmacists, and therapists) treat symptoms and diseases using drugs, radiation, or surgery. Also called allopathic medicine, biomedicine, conventional medicine, mainstream medicine, and orthodox medicine.

• the type of medical treatment that is the most popular in North America and Western European countries, based on the use of drugs and surgery to treat symptoms (=signs of illness). In such countries, other types of medical treatment are called alternative medicine or complementary .

I think that my definition falls somewhere between these 2- more focus on surgery and pharmaceuticals to treat symptoms and generally preferred in Westernized nations.
