At the National Rural Health Association meeting one of the plenary
speakers made some very important points

allopathic means basically against pathos or against what is wrong or
against disease. The serpent and other symbols are not conducive to
healing.

He noted the cross in a circle design of native healers where the east-west
line met the north-south line,

Having just read the Great Influenza, the points he made struck home about
the development of modern medicine and being against, but failing to be for
something, like health.

Dr. Warne was not a wise man or a great speaker because of his education or
his training or his positions, he was wise because you could tell he
learned from each position or place or person in his life.
