Exactly. That's the irony about all these instances of "polar opposites"- on the surface people think they are so different from those of the "opposite camp"- but under the hood they are basically the same and applying the same faulty thought process to the situation.

There are herbal remedies for snakebites. I know an herbalist out in the Superstition Mountains that uses echinacea for snakebites. But personally, I would go with the anti-venom if available.

Glad to hear it turned out OK! I hope your holistic friends didn't give you too much flack. That wouldn't be very "holistic" of them seeing as how that word implies an "all of the above" approach!

Yes.

Exactly. To their credit, I don't see too many Western docs claiming great success with these.
