Shamanism and Medicine
An old shamanistic or pagan wisdom hold that “The body knows instinctively what it needs for healing”.
This is overridden by modern medicine in a lot of cases and by female practitioners who believe in a one size fits all approach. This is symptomatic of the volubility of female doctors.
In the 1930’s a non descript penman in Oxford coined the term intuitionism which is summed up “Man’s ways cannot change folk ways”.
Always trust your instinct!
Incidentally, “Never go to a doctor unless you know what is wrong with you” as my mother used to say.
St. Paul counsels us not to meddle in other people business-advice doctors would do well to listen to.
He also subscribes to the practice of “a strong rebuke” to correct deviant behaviour.
