asû:An akkadian word,means the technician,the doctor,a word whose root meaning we do not know still,was known in Mesopotamia as early as the first half of the third millennium,shortly after the beginning of writing.1,in emperical medicine,the asû(doctor) examined the patient and decided hic et nunc on the treatment to be applied,which he prepared with his own hands,choosing manipulations and 'simples' for their natural properties and to help slow down or stop the action or progress of the ailment.2
Anti-herb movement:Face the rediscovery of herbal lore related with Witch by numerous herbalist,the medical profession is once again opposed to people haveing the right to approach their health needs through the use of herbs,and severe restrictions on the sale of herbs have been imposed around the United States.For the most part,herbs can be acquied in health food stores,but for past fifteen or so years,the employees have been forbidden by law to aid buyer with any information about the benefits or uses of herbs.While something like bulk senna tea is available,the information that too much tea will cause diarrhea(it is used as a laxative) is withheld.Likewise,the information about what combinations of teas will promote menstrual flow and which ones can induce abortion is also withheld.By doing so,herbs can then be portrayed as dangerous,and articles can be written about people developing ailments because they misused or overused an herb.3
Of course we can call this movement such a name,Anti-herb movement,it is trying to hide something with and under the name of knowledge,the importance of herb knowledge are forbiddened and mislead,sure its some kind of power-knowledge conservatism launched by modern science under its guide of so questioned "modern ontology",togethor with business benefit fearsome from medical professions with such standing point.
