Illnesses and conditions

Select three or more of the illnesses and conditions from the list below. Perform an Advanced Search in the eHRAF World Cultures (http://ehrafworldcultures.yale.edu.proxy.lib.uiowa.edu) to find five cultures from different major regions. Compare and contrast the cultural views regarding the following: 1. illness causation and 2. medicinal remedies for the illnesses that you have selected. This exercise involves two separate searches. Hint: Keywords such as measles or influenza can be used in association with OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects such as "medicinal remedies" and "them of disease"
