Explanation: 1. The healthcare culture paradigm assumes that effective treatment can only be given by those who are educated, licensed, and certified with appropriate credentials, and assigns little value to those who are not.
2. Technology has been able to enhance treatments, but increased technology does not always yield the greater benefit.
3. Protocols for treatments include interventions, but not all health events follow a prescribed protocol for them.
4. The predominant healthcare culture is reluctant to acknowledge the role alternative complementary treatments can have as treatments.
