Book excerpt: Myth, a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that ostensibly relates actual events and that is especially associated with religious belief. While I understand, these myths have been prevalent for generations; They gave hope to our friends and family members. But, we have to understand that more than 100 years back, knowledge was very limited. We need to weigh both risks and benefits equally whenever we try to treat any medical conditions by following old myths. We did not have choices for the last several generations, but now we do have choices.
