Between Modern Medicine And Herbal Remedies
by Pascal E. Erdmann |
|
Around
the world people are continuously relying
on the power of medicine. We all want
to make sure our loved ones are healthy,
and refuse to believe that modern medicine
could actually harm them. For years,
modern medicine has ruled Western culture.
It has become part of our customs as
we continuously acquire medicine on
a daily basis. From a simple dose of
aspirin to more intense treatments like
chemotherapy and daily medical visits,
we cannot help but feel drawn to such
assistance. After all, medicine has
the ability to heal, fix, and alleviate
problems that afflict billions of people
each year. So why not jump on the bandwagon
and hand over your life to modern medicine?
It
is a known fact that we live in a fast
paced world where immediate results
are craved. If we are sick, we want
to have a prescription within hours
and medicine to cure us in a day or
so. Due to the fact that the safety
of medicine has always been around for
us, it becomes a common theme to rely
on such safe treatments. Since we know
that there are medicines out there,
we want the situation to be alleviated
as soon as possible.
While
there are those who are against modern
medicine, it is clear that this type
of medical treatment has come a long
way. With hundreds of medicines dedicated
to incurable illnesses, it is a miracle
for some. We now finally have the opportunity
to feel better, and know that there
are things being done to help the sick.
But with opportunity, comes a bitter
battle. Due to the fact that the media
is one of the largest outlets for the
world, advertising has taken over modern
medicine and has turned it into a dangerous
spectacle.
We
all see the commercials for sleeping
pills, testimonials for cancer drugs,
the suggestions for dieting. We become
drawn into these safe treatments, because
we are in desperate need for a cure.
Unfortunately, this desperation often
turns into blindness. We immediately
run to our local pharmacy and pick up
these pills, without taking a glance
at the label or the warnings. The media
has allowed us to believe every word
they say, and in return, trust the FDA,
the doctors who prescribe such medications,
and the advertisements. After all, who
would actually want to lie to us? Why
would any loyal physician and medical
companies do such a thing?
Astonishingly,
our trust is feeding into the lies and
helping such modern medicine suppliers
become prosperous. Thousands of people
die each year, just because the medicine
they were taking was not as safe as
people claimed. There are always problems
with certain prescriptions on the markets,
but many of these companies do not want
to say anything. They write it off,
pretend to not know the truth, and ship
it out, because soon they will have
enough money to forget. Due to their
selfishness, modern medicine has become
quite faulty in some aspects. It has
forced us to question what medicines
we are taking, and what effects they
could actually have on us. Just because
they are FDA approved, does not mean
that they are 100% safe.
Although
modern medicine is one of the largest
industries in the world, it is not the
only option. Herbal remedies and traditional
medicine are also rising steadily, as
it is more focused on herbs, safe nutrients
and minerals that will not have hazardous
effects on the body. With the ability
to extract such benefits from plants,
it is surprising that the majority of
people do not want to stick to such
safe routes. Unfortunately while herbal
medicine can cure painful ailments,
it may not be as effective for serious
illnesses. Nevertheless, it is an alternative
that people should seek out, if the
illness is not life threatening. For
many, it is more affordable, nicer to
the body, and actually reduces the amount
of side effects.
Have
you ever been sick from a cold? The
majority of people rush to the doctors
office, in hopes that they will get
an anti-biotic or another type of cold
medicine. Even if this is safe, it is
unnecessary to immediately seek professional
guidance. Surprisingly, natural remedies
can cure your cold more effectively,
if not make you feel better in a shorter
amount of time. It also provides greater
benefits for your body. One of the most
popular natural products on the market
today is Noni Juice. Derived from the
Pacific Islands, this natural fruit
has been causing quite a stir. It not
only boosts the immune system, but it
also allows you to alleviate joint pain,
common cold symptoms, and dozens of
other ailments. By taking a safe and
natural product like Noni Juice, you
will see many more benefits, rather
than a plethora of side effects that
just are not worth it.
Looking
for a diet plan? Natural green tea not
only boosts the immune system, but it
speeds up metabolism and actually allows
you to lose weight. Instead of finding
a strong prescription drug that may
help shed the pounds, it is recommended
that you try something more natural.
When consumers rush to their nearest
drugstore just to pick up a fat shedding
drug, they rarely realize how dangerous
and life threatening it could be to
their health.
Regardless
of how many alternatives there are to
modern medicine, the majority of consumers
still seem to run towards modern medicine.
In many cases, it is due to the fact
that this is all they have ever known.
When we grow up with modern medicine
by our side, it is hard to see anything
else that is effective. We want immediate
results, and herbal remedies tend to
have a negative stigma. It is hard to
risk your life on an herbal supplement,
when you know that you could just go
to the hospital and get a treatment
that is more popular. It truly comes
down to the severity of the illness,
and how much modern medicine has been
drilled into your brain. Unfortunately,
advertising and physicians make it known
that modern medicine is the only way.
There
is no correct answer to this debate.
It is normal to want to feel safe, healthy,
and informed. On the other hand, it
is also important to not be blindsided
by the greedy and uninformed side of
modern medicine. In order to live a
healthy and happy live, one has to pick
what is best for them. While modern
medicine may be popular, herbal supplements
like Noni Juice may work more effectively.
Nevertheless, the debate between modern
and traditional medicine will continue
to enter our households. Perhaps one
day there will be a winner.
