Alternative Medicine

Alternative Medicine is the practice of natural remedies, joined together to create a state of optimum health. Alternative medicines focus on the body as a whole, mind, body and spirit. The thoughts are that the body and the body's emotional state create a state of illness or health. Many people are skeptical of alternative therapies. However, Alternative Medicine has been practiced for centuries. NIH and the NCCAM suggest 4000 years, that alternative medicine has been used for several aliments. Including everything from upset stomach to Cancer. Alternative Medicine is the traditional medicine. What we look at today as traditional medicine has only been in existence for a little more than 100 years. Alternative therapies were widely used by our ancestors.

Modern Medicine

Modern Medicine is the field of applied science related to the art of healing by diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. It encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness in human beings. Modern Medicine has shown great progress in the treatment of many symptoms if a wide variety of Illnesses. There are several side effects that are possible with today's medicine. The practice of todays Doctors has limited to no training in nutrition and disease. Very seldom does a prescription create a cure. Prescriptions are synthetic versions of natural plants, herbs and remedies. The vast majority of prescription medications are created in a laboratory. There are several advances in addressing trauma care. Also, heart attacks and strokes. According to the FDA there is a process to developing a new drug.These processes include animal testing and clinical trials with human subjects. A good example of how natural products are recreated in a laboratory is as follows, Enter the salmon, which, like humans, produces a hormone called calcitonin that helps regulate calcium and decreases bone loss. For osteoporosis patients, taking salmon calcitonin, which is 30 times more potent than that secreted by the human thyroid gland, inhibits the activity of specialized bone cells called osteoclasts that absorb bone tissue. This enables bone to retain more bone mass. So in Salmon there is a hormone. It is derived from the fish and made into a synthetic version in pill form and then sold at a high rate, from drug companies. Medicine does have great benefits for some and is offered through a prescription from a doctor and the purchased from a drug store or pharmacy.

Alternative Medicine and Modern Medicine

As stated that the hormone is derived from the salmon and created into a new drug, wouldn't one be better off eating the salmon and not taking a pill, with side effects? Alternative Medicine is offered through the continents and forest of the world. Our very gardens could grow natural wholesome medicines for disease and illnesses. The drug companies are a multi-billion dollar industry. To focus on what is readily available in nature would be a loss to the drug companies. However, one with the conveniences of the internet can research a variety of herbs and natural remedies through clinical trials. There are several topics in which one can research to see if the plant derivative is beneficial to the aliments you are facing. Whichever your preference is what you should do. However, before starting any new natural remedy you need to talk to your doctor prior to beginning and new treatment.
