Integrated Medicine In Southern Mexico
I was excited to find people who were working in my field who had never thought of their therapies as "alternative" or "complementary." They gave preference to the traditional medicine when it worked, even as they began to use allopathic medications that came from the outside. I would say this type of cultural resistance is only possible in combination with the extreme political resistance that the Zapatistas practice. In most other indigenous communities the world over, one can see traditional medicine being replaced by western medicine without many practitioners trying to integrate the two.
