One could fairly put that round the other way and say that a large number of 
the practices accepted by the established medical professional bodies have 
arisen from folk medicine. One is the lineal descendent of the other. (Even 
today, most Materia Medica are of natural origin.)

Not that Kimberley is doing so, but, in patronising folk remedies, many 
medics and other health workers behave like the nouveau riche sneering 
at their own, still humble relatives.

Regards,

Roger
