Traditional medicine is an official term: http://www.who.int/medicines/areas/traditional/definitions/en/ http://www.who.int/medicines/areas/traditional/definitions/e... Vaccines are interesting, since they don't directly solve the problem, but aid your body in helping itself. I concede antibiotics and joint reconstruction. However, we've only begun to scratch the surface of what's possible. As a society, we shouldn't limit ourselves to only what is taught in a medical degree.

No, your comment is pretty clearly about modern medicine. Traditional medicine is a little more rooted in tradition (from your link): http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/66783/1/WHO_EDM_TRM_2000.1.pdf http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/66783/1/WHO_EDM_TRM... Things like herbal therapies and acupuncture and so on.
