Why did/do Africans living in the heart of nature's drugstore, choose ineffective things like voodoo for cures?

Wouldn't it be smarter to explore the more effective solutions right in their own backyard? If the answer is, ';well they don't have labs to test in';, then why don't they? Before responding, please keep asking ';Why don't they'; until you discover a SENSIBLE reason why humans would allow themselves to be in such a pathetic situation.Why did/do Africans living in the heart of nature's drugstore, choose ineffective things like voodoo for cures?
because they don't realise that they are ';pathetic';,


most of the cultures where they keep practicing voodoo as a form of cure dont have the knowledge, money and resources to have a lab. they dont have the internet, xbox, mcdonalds, etc. they dont know about the rest of the world, or about hollywood stars, or about modern medicine, they work with what they do have and what they know, and they've been trying voodoo as a cure for a long long time, so they are going to continue to use it until they are clued into something else. and unforunately not many people can dump 12 billion dollars into these african countries to develop these labs and teach them. so until then they will try what they can. why dont you be sensible and stop calling other people pathetic. trying to shame and poking fun at cultures who are ignorant, not because they want to be but because the resources and information isnt readily available to them, is pathetic and a waste of time.Why did/do Africans living in the heart of nature's drugstore, choose ineffective things like voodoo for cures?
Voodoo practitioners used herbs and whatnot in their cures and I believe a lot of their remedies worked. If you knew anything about voodoo you'd know that they were naturalists in most ways like the Native American shamans and medicine men. And voodoo can be effective, especially when it comes to curses, I'm not too sure about cures though.
I don't know anything about voodoo, but I understand anyone staying away from most commonly accepted American medical treatments and drugs. Natural remedies are seen as little better than voodoo by many people, but they are far better and safer for you.
most africans do not rely on voodoo in these modern times. the ones that do are very superstitious.
I dont think Africans are the only ones engaging with voodoo
Cuz Voodooism isn't just some mythical thing to used to cure people. It's a real religion...








however lame it is.
