48. incorrect.

according to you the only medicine is that discovered by white men over the past 300 years, right? from the way pharmaceuticals are ravaging the last few remaining cornucopia's of medicinal plants and healing medicinal cures & modalities used by indigenous shamans, your statement is incorrect.

let me tell you, if you were suffering from some type of dysfunction - bronchial infection or other, and there are no eastern type doctors or pharmacies for hundreds of miles around - good luck to you.
