Consider the Bible's coverage of another field: health and sanitation/SNIP! 

Just think, pigeon blood cures leprosy, bats are birds, rabbits chew
their cud, whole graveyards of skeletons stroll down main street, men
live in the belly of whales for three days, and much more idiocy.

It didn't even mention something as simple as washing your hands or
boiling drinking water.
====================
You notice not one fundy is commenting on these messages of outlandish medical cures in the bible. :-D

Arach........
God's treatment for leprosy: Get two birds. Kill one. Dip the live
bird in the blood of the dead one. Sprinkle the blood on the leper
seven times, and then let the blood-soaked bird fly off. Next find a
lamb and kill it. Wipe some of its blood on the patient's right ear,
thumb, and big toe. Sprinkle seven times with oil and wipe some of the
oil on his right ear, thumb and big toe. Repeat. Finally kill a couple
doves and offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt
offering. (Leviticus14:2-52) (Credit Douglas Berry)
