I think this is a great and important topic to discuss- thanks for bringing it up, @praecog29! 
I wrote a bit more about this in one of the other threads (Dental Health Spell), but I also agree there are huge benefits when one branch of medicine/science learns from another branch- such as when Western science adapts theories from Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM. Sticking exclusively to one school of thought seems like closing the door to many possible new cross-cultural advancements in technology and medicine.
I think you summed this up perfectly, Benjamin 
Magick comes in many forms. Like scientific studies, keeping an open mind when it comes to magick opens so many exciting new paths to take! There are even those that draw magick from science and technology, such as Technomanchers.
This is one goal of the Weekly Witchy Challenges- encouraging witches and practitioners of all types and talents to further broaden their minds and experiment with new aspects of magick 
Iām sure most of you already know Iām a big supporter of life-long learning 
I consider my own personal life path and goal to be exploring how my magickal beliefs can combine with science and medicine to make a happy and wholesome lifestyle!
