Natural food supplements has long since been discovered before the modern medicine, you know. I too and my siblings have frail health that's why ever since a toddler, we have been in-taking different kinds of medicines. My parents, at first, were not aware that our sickness was passed on genetically. It means, that one of my parents have genes that were weakened due to their lifestyle. When my mother had found out that our monthly sickness is a chronic one, she thought that there must be a way to break this cycle. Thus, she turned to the natural form of medicine, which you now call alternative treatment. Later, I found out that it's not really "Alternative" medicine or treatment but the "Original" form of medicine used since ancient times. Yes, our chronic illness was broken thus we only experience sickness time and again when at last our body's immune system will be at down time. I am proud to say that compared to my 3 months cycle of fever, I only get sick once or twice within a year. I experience less skin asthma attacks and I can live like a normal person that can pass off as your average healthy young adult. My younger sister's and younger brother's monthly sickness attacks are reduced as well.

Well, our food supplements aren't cheap. Considering the large quantities that we intake for a month or two then take a break for a month, then, intake them again. But yes, it is cheaper than going to the doctor and buying medicines monthly or paying for hospital bills. It's an expense well incurred since we get to be healthy than wasting time lying down in bed for weeks on end because we're sickly.

Food supplements and herbal remedies are much better then medicine. But there are some herbs that can have side effects as well. You have to study the herbs that you are going to take before use. They are in general a lot safer but sometimes they can cause allergic reactions. These can be just as bad as any medicine on the market, if your not careful.

I prefer to care my health and what i eat to prefent me from sickness. I dont like to consumn any suppliment for continuity. I eat fresh and healthy food its more cheap and safe. Buying suppliment cost of money since some of them are expensive. Vegetables and fruits always in my menu and I avoid to eat much junk food and I will not eat something if I doubt about its clean. I dont like sport or doing simple exercise, but I know that I have to do somthing to keep my body fit. I will walk wherever I go if I could reach the place in 10 minutes by walking, and doing house work evrymorning. If I can do simple thing without have to spend extra money and still in healthy performance, I can save more money for other thing.
