And many believe in a curandero before a doctor! In many villages there are no doctors. They have great knowledge of herbs, etc.

The statement "A curandero is someone who practices modern medicine" is FALSE.
To understand why, let's break down the components of the statement.
Curandero is a Spanish term that refers to a traditional healer or shaman in Latin American and Hispanic cultures. They use a combination of folk remedies, herbal medicine, rituals, and spirituality to address physical, mental, and spiritual ailments. Curanderos are deeply rooted in traditional healing practices that have been passed down through generations.
On the other hand, modern medicine refers to the practice of healthcare that is based on scientific research, evidence-based treatments, and the use of medications and medical interventions. Modern medicine is generally practiced by trained medical professionals, such as doctors, nurses, and specialists, who diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries using standardized protocols.
As you can see, curanderos and modern medicine represent two distinct approaches to healing. Curanderos rely on traditional knowledge, cultural beliefs, and alternative therapies, while modern medicine relies on scientific evidence, medical technology, and biomedical treatments.
Therefore, since a curandero practices traditional healing methods rather than modern medicine, the statement "A curandero is someone who practices modern medicine" is false.
