i really think that you should take traditional medicine… i once took alternatives for my sinus infection… i had to go to the hospital and i was in a colma for two weeks… take what the doctors proscribed.
Complementary and alternative medicine works to both prevent and treat disease in conjunction with traditional medicine.
Many, many pathologies can be prevented or treated with proper diet and lifestyle changes and there are many natural and herbal remedies that will treat disease better and with less side effects than “traditional medicine”. However, there are times and conditions when the only thing one can do is to take pharmaceutical meds to treat certain pathologies.
The two schools of medicine work together and neither is able to completely do without the other.
By the way, no one has ever gone into a coma from a sinus infection.
I go to a great natural doctor, he saved my life and I went to 20+ doctors who sat around saying there was nothing wrong with me and I was just imagining feeling sick and come to find out I had a severe vitamin deficiency that they should have found then there was another time that one prescribed a medicine that they knew I was deathly allergic to. Natural doctors go to school just as long as a regular doctor does and they can run all the same tests, they just can’t prescribe medicine. I know from my experience 9 out of 10 regular doctors don’t care about people they only care about prescribing meds. that don’t even solve a problems only mask them, but some people do need medicine. People think their doctors care and some doctors do but most are just waiting for the 15 mins to run out on the clock and they don’t even know your name. Natural doctors treat the whole body instead of just one part which Hippocrates the father of medicine strongly believed in. So unless you want to be on meds. I would recommend going to a natural doctor who will not put you into a statistic and actually sit down with you and listen and help you. Plus natural herbs really do work as well or better than perception meds. without the bad side effects. Once I was going to a regular doctor that everyone recommend was so great and come to find out he got his medical degree down in the Caribbean at a medical school that does not require a bachelors degree, so you never know what your getting with a regular doctor.
Regular doctors just aren’t trained properly any more. The $billion dollar drug company’s finance the medical schools. So they dictate what is to be taught. So they teach to take all these pills for everything instead fo finding the cause for the problem and curing it. If doctors cured all that are sick they and the $Billion dollar drug company’s would be out of business,
Example, The Drs. give Antibiotics for everything. Antibiotics do nothing for fungus infection for example it feeds the fungus.
The Holistic medicine finds out just what is wrong or caused the problem then treats it accordingly. They cure allot that drs. don’t even know there is a cure for.
Drs. do have their place like Broken bones, cancer etc.
Do your home work and learn.
Alt med doesn’t work. It fails clinical trials continuously, and is based on magical thinking rather than science. This is why it’s not mainstream.
(To actually answer your question)
1. Chiropractic
2. Homeopathic
3. Naturopathic
4. Acupuncture,
5. Massage therapist
6. Chinese medicine
7. Many other varied techniques.
Many accepted medical therapies were considered “alternate” until quite recently (including exercise and diet control until quite recently – imagine that!)
Health will never come in a bottle of pills, and standard medicine has many shortcomings and hundreds of thousands die every year in the US due to medical mistakes and to drug interactions, so any blanket dismissal of alternate medicine by MD supporters is definitely the pot calling the kettle black.
Read up yourself and learn what’s right for you. Try it and decide what you think, but I never put all my eggs in one basket. Best luck.
