Many people worldwide are beginning to get the message that conventional medicine is no longer the only option that can remedy certain illnesses.
As more new drugs come onto the market, and the side effects that they can cause begin to proliferate, a lot of worried people are concerned about the adverse results they could have on their loved ones. Safe in the knowledge that alternative medicine uses only the restorative powers of Mother Nature, and that the herbal based remedies or natural treatments such as acupuncture and aromatherapy are 100% safe, people are now looking towards alternative medicine as the remedy of choice for themselves and their families.
The media today subjects us all to an almost ceaseless barrage of publicity about the new drugs that are being developed. They would have us believe that modern medical science has the cure for all illnesses and disease. The truth however is very far removed from the advertising, with effects of certain medications (like cancer treatments for example), being infinitely more terrible to deal with than the disease itself. This is why many people (particularly in the case of cancer) are going down the root of natural chemotherapy, and a more holistic approach to their treatments. The fact that many of today's modern drugs have the potential to inflict unpleasant side effects is drastically underplayed by the advertisers, so although this information is imparted, it is in such a fast and casual manner as to not seem likely to pose any sort of threat whatsoever.
It is the very fact of the unpleasant side effects that modern medication can subject you to that has led so many people to investigate their options, and when they do, alternative medicine, with its totally natural approach, is becoming a more and more attractive proposition. Let's just take a quick look at the potential adverse side effects that the hormone replacement medication "Premarin" is known to have:
It can cause attacks of migraine headaches.
It is known to bring about pains to the chest.
It can befuddle the mind, resulting in loss of memory.
In fact these side effects can be so unpleasant that many women actually avoid taking Premarin, preferring instead to expose themselves to the hot flushes rather than the awful effects of the drug. However, it is now being realized that alternative medicine can provide relief from these dreadful hot flushes, without any unpleasant side effects at all. A prepared dose of "Quai" and "Black Cohosh" extract will naturally relieve the passage of hut flushes safely, with no side effects, making going through "the change", a much more bearable event.
Alternative medicine works on a more holistic type approach, whereby to achieve a state of well-being, it is the entire body that is to be treated; whereas conventional medicine just targets the actual illness itself. But the conventional approach often necessitates taking several drugs to try and remedy the problem. But as news spreads of adverse side effects, which is of course compounded by the more medications that you take, people are beginning to do a lot more of their own investigations into what sort of unpleasantness they may be subjecting themselves to. This is leading greater quantities of people to the conclusion that alternative medicine is less intrusive and far safer.
It is true that many of today's more enlightened medical practitioners are beginning to embrace the concept and power of alternative medicine. It is becoming a more commonplace occurrence that many of the age-old, tried and trusted remedies are being found to contain medically proven ingredients that were not known of before; ingredients which are proven to work.
It may sound strange, and yet it is being realized day by day, that as modern medical science progresses, and more of Mother Nature's secret remedies are discovered, that alternative medicine will form a bigger and bigger part of many modern clinic's resources.
