A corollary to this is a common distrust of doctors.  Some people feel
that Doctors don't really know anything about how the body works, and
that certain mythologies (holistic & herbal medicine) are more reliable
than modern medicine.

Now, don't get me wrong: I strongly believe that natural therapies can
be extremely effective.  I also believe that the science of medicine,
based on centuries of experimental observation, can often be far more
effective.  After all, that's what science is: trying something, and
recording the results.  By nature of it, it's bound to be more effective
than other methods.
