What is for you 'medicine proper'? Do you mean it has been tested and found to work, even if it has nothing to do with medicine (some herbal supplement or meditation) or just medical approved/ordered? I don't buy into much of the alt-med areas (homeopathy, acunpunture, etc, just not my cup of tea) but I do research a lot about natural 'supplements' and many have been proven quite useful for human health. In what category would you put this? The other part of the problem is the influence medical staff have. One example is the food advice we have been getting the last couple decades. 'No fats, a lot of cereal. That's the way to live.' which still today doctors here advise (my dad is pre-diabetic, his doctor recommended to change to wholegrain bread and stop eating animal fat, and take his medicine, can't forget that along with his statins for the cholesterol!) which we all know now that isn't the way to go, but many doctors are still making their informed decisions by things they learned 40 years ago in medical school.
