Avoid medicine and back to nature

I'm not really sure but there are medicines that have side effects, but usually they're indicated. But I do understand your friend's apprehension. A lot of our medicines are synthetically produced and does contain lots varied chemicals which can be a bit intimidating. I for one have little knowledge on what those chemicals are that's indicated in the bottle or the box. Being naive about medicines, I just put my faith in the doctor. There are herbal alternatives, though.

Hi, i am a huge believer in holistic therapy as well as your friend. I completely agree with your friend due to alot of experience. As for me, I have grown up taking medications all my life because I have a hereditary skin disease called eczema. And because this disease needs a lot of maintenance depending on how severe the case may be, medications can be really dangerous to your health over time. Many medicines prescribed by the doctor is just the easy way out for a lot of things and they are much faster than natural producs. Although I would much rather go for the natural products knowing they won't build up in my system that could be potentially be harmful to my health, it is really inconvenient to wait for results. I've been taking steriod/cortisone creams & other medication to relieve my eczema until such time i experience and outbreak on my face/body my whole life and it has affected my immune system ALOT and I feel that they are no longer working because i have finally become resistant to these medications! But I'm just saying I don't see anything wrong in taking prescribed medicines if you are generally healthy and BARELY get sick and don't have lifetime conditions/diseases like mine. However, I'd most DEFINITELY go with the natural alternatives BECAUSE most of them barely have side effects and they don't supress your immune system as badly as prescription medications, and your body will be able to fight off "foreign invaders" more independantly. It's really up to you though whether you want to risk your immune system or not.

Well, in all medicines either from medical side or natural ( herbal side) has side-effects. Any doses for the body must be in amount enough to supplement the body needs.Medicines are used to flush out unwanted toxins in our body. IF a person, has more belief in natural medicine than medical medicines, I guess it has no problem as long the problem was relieved. As long it contributed in the improvement of the medical condition not worsening the condition as well. There are several issues that opposes medical technology medicines for its more dangerous though it is tested in animals before for Human usage, still .. this is the product of modern technology, to improve medical diagnosis, treatments in increasing the span of life. Both medicines have same goal to prolong life especially now, where we are exposed to various illnesses brought from fast-page technology, as it arises, there are some diseases that can be only cured needing instant therapies thru medical treatments that if been applied in herbal medicines will take long in effect. A person can use both type of medicines, much beneficial for him to know what is more appropriate in his body can adapt. For, there are cultures that prevent medicines from medical side technology and adapt only to herbal medicines in nature. this depends on the belief of the person, which he think is right for him and not, a choice he wanted to have and decided to have.

hi, both of them are useful and really good to us,but for me i lessen to use and take medicines,instead i use some herbal and nature created medicines,for me those herbal medicines are still effective.

Hi omchesunche, Medicine has some advantages and disadvantages. If it is prescribed by a doctor and consumed within certain limits, it is useful to the body. An overdose of the medicine could be harmful to the body. Instead of cure, it is harmful, have side-effects. That is why, more people nowadays would like to go back to the basics. Find natural methods of healing like using herbals. For some people, this is effective. Whatever methods we use to cure illness, we still need to be reminded that good nutrition have an important role in having a healthy mind and body.

Are you aware of the fact that most medication is based on nature? Penicilline is just one of them. So medication = nature. I think it's good not to overdue it and take painkillers, stomach pain killers etc etc as if they are candies. Since many of these "pains" can be solved in other ways too (prevention is one of them). Also fact is that (what we call the homeopathic) nature medication is not working for everyone. No matter how hard and long you try. I think we should be lucky there is, besides of nature, also an other way to cure people. We should use that with wisdom and try to have a healthy life style.

Avoid modern medicine? What if you get sick by a monstrous bacteria that is so life threatening, will you not take antibiotics? What if you got blood pressure that's so high, will you not take anti-hypertensive?

I'm into alternative medicine as well but I'm not adverse to modern medicines. In fact, modern medicines have increase our lifespans in general. Sometimes in today's society we overdo our intake of medicines, and I think we're under so much stress, too. I believe there should be a balance.

I havent met a doctor who has diagnosed a wrong medicine maybe because all I have had are minor illnesses like the flu. So I trust those medicines prescribed by the doctors. As for more serious illnesses, from my experience there are alternative treatments so if you want to look up for alternative treatment for serious illnesses, you should. Do extra research of the alternative treatment and most importantly, get proper recommendations and testimonials from people preferably the ones you trust.

i think, your friend is right. avoid taking medicine and back to nature is the best way. for me, i will take a medicine if it is really not possible to use natural herb. consume a medicine will have an effect in the long run, tough you use it normally. the residue of the medicine can disturb our liver. it could break our lliver is there are many residue that left in our body. you can imagine, if we take normally, but if we use it in long term, it will left many residue also. different with natural medicine, the residue of natural herb is not harm liver. and most of natural herb, give a better effect in our body than common medicine.
