Andriana:

Your onc's explanation does not make scientific sense. If he is correct, then all treatments must go back to the primitive time, including those voodoo superstitions, for all ailments. When new effective medicines are available, we should take advantage of the discovery and go with them. Find another doctor and compare their advices. Although my situation is totally different from yours, I just want to point out the logic behind these advices.
