While the water memory stuff is utter crap, apothecary is the origin of pharmacy, it just got overriden by industrial synthesis of drugs. Where do quinine and aspirin come from? These are only two examples.

Doctors should certainly pay attention to the "people", as well as to the "patients". The best doctors do. The placebo effect is very important, it can work miracles and that's why it needs to be screened out when testing the actual effect of a substance. So many types of stimulus can be relevant, accupuncture seems to not lack effect.
