Hello @pelon53 how are you friend. It's been a long time. I went through your post and I wanted to discuss something that you have written in your post.

I do believe in ancient medicine and I have observed that it causes fewer side effects than current medicine. I also recognize that most of the time treatment with ancient medicine is slower and requires consistency.

This former part is absolutely true. As a doctor, even I tell my patients that ancient medicines have fewer side effects but ancient medicines aren't always the best mode of treating diseases. There are some people who solely rely on ancient medicines and some people wo solely rely on Modern medicines and I think both of these people need to have a bit of leverage towards both medicines. If used in a combination, I believe they can be very helpful.

Loved reading your post. Very well written as always.
