Thank you! It's amazing what will come out of the mouth of a supposedly enlightened person, when prefaced by the phrase, "Now, it doesn't bother me, but my mother...." Idiots.

If you read "Serpent in the Rainbow" you start to get a "picture" of old world pharmacology...

I've never read that book, but I would LOVE to do so. Thank you for the recommendation. I've often said that the class that has done me the most good in real life was Pharmacology.

The only part that intrigues many scientists, including myself, is the pool at Bethesda... But even Jesus Christ told the man "do you WANT to be healed" before he healed him...
And Luke who wrote his Gospel was called a physician--as well as Joseph of Arimethia [sp?]...
Long time ago, High Priests and Priestesses were mostly the scientists at the time... The Egyptians, The Aztecs, The Chinese--maybe the Greeks and the Romans... But somehow it all got segregated with the "snake oil" mentality showed up...
So it ain't about do you have a belief in a measurement system versus a spiritual system... It's more about how come the two cannot peacefully co-exist?

I think we can agree that the most radical of scientists realize that the
desire to be healed plays a large part in the healing arts. I see it every day with terminal patients - those who have a very strong desire to live, even if it's goal-oriented ("until my son gets married", "until my grandbaby is born").
I also agree - there CAN be peaceful co-existence between a measurement and spiritual systems. That's why I find it so important to put
all the infomation on the table.
And one of these days, I may be picking your brain about genetics & DNA. I'm reading a book about "genetealogy" - how DNA substanciates genealogy, and that most (if not all) Americans come from one of seven different women. I'm not going to pretend that I understand 90% of it, but it's fascinating stuff!
