The World Health Organization (WHO) has hosted its first summit on traditional medicine, co-hosted by the Indian government. The summit aims to integrate traditional and complementary medicines into conventional healthcare and collaborate scientifically to understand their use more thoroughly. However, some researchers criticize and doubt the evidence and efficacy of some traditional healing systems.

Ayurveda and the Lucrative Business of Pseudo-Medicines in India

Patanjali offers medicines for all possible diseases. The company is worth at least 6 billion euros. But for many scientists, this empire is built on deception.

Alternative medicine is any medical treatment that is not part of conventional evidence-based medicine, such as one would learn in medical school, nursing school or even paramedic training. Much, if not most, of the "alternative medicine" world lacks any scientific proof of its effectiveness, and that which does have real effectiveness, tends to be palliative rather than curative. Any alternative medicine with scientific evidence behind it is simply called medicine.

Alternative medicine includes "traditional medicines", "folk remedies", and an ever-growing class of "religious" or "spiritual" treatments that have their sources in Eastern religions, but are filtered through a pay-as-you-go, for-profit mindset. These terms are still used today to describe the various substances of unclear efficacy sold for a profit through advertising.

A thought about #herbalmedicine and #traditionalmedicine

These forms of medicine may well have a +ve effect _if they are taken in context_ So perhaps if you have a similar diet to the historical period when the effect was noticed and / or live a similar lifestyle then there is more chance of a positive effect.

If you live off ultra-processed pap and sit on your arse alll day... then you will not see much of an effect.

Cordyceps fungi can infect and control the behavior of insects, causing them to behave like zombies. The zombification of ants makes them climb to the top of plants and then attach themselves firmly to the plant with their mandibles. The fungi then grow out of the ant's head and release spores, which can infect other insects.

Google Lens really is impressive. Just scanned some instructions on taking some traditional herbal medicine that were written in Hmong. Instantaneous translation into perfect and seemingly appropriate English. And I didn't even tell it what the language was. Not sure that the list of ingredients is that helpful as it just says 'many herbs with leaves.' Fingers crossed it will work (it's not for me!) #languages #Hmong #traditionalmedicine #seasia

Conclusie? Zou men de islamitische elementen uit de online teksten schrappen, dan is het verschil met Engels- of Nederlandstalige websites zeer klein.

Altmed-speak is zeer internationaal. Altmed-sjacheraars gebruiken dezelfde technieken en argumenten, dezelfde (kromme) redeneringen.
