Complementary and Alternative medicine?
This is a scary story; I wonder what CAM proponents would say to these ‘medical treatments’. I’m sure they’ve been used for thousands of years, too, and have just as much evidence as everything else they’re peddling.
Would they side with the ‘witch doctors’? From the BBC:
Police in Tanzania have recently arrested almost 100 people suspected of murdering albinos and/or selling their body parts to witchdoctors. Apparently the limbs, hair, and even genitals are used in some folk medicine. The government has responded by pulling the healers’ licenses to practice. The healers are reportedly ignoring the ban.
