The information she is providing is a lot of what western SCIENTIFIC medicine is based on, so before you call her information "anti-scientific", maybe read some more on the origins of medicine. Bridging the gap between ancient and modern medicine literally means, incorporating the original ancient natural medicine into our scientific western medicine practices.
