Natural or Synthetic? Prescriptions or Herbal Remedies?? Holistic or Scientific? Alternative or Main Stream? Confused yet?
If you are, don’t feel bad. There are millions of others who are also reading this article, and they too are confused about all the choices out there these days. Natural or man maid, organic or cheap. They aren’t always easy decisions. What’s good for you is usually out of the budget, and what’s in your budget isn’t making you feel any better. When it comes to medicine, it is really hard to think about getting out of the main stream and into more natural cures and remedies.
However, the benefits of Holistic and completely holistic remedies are much better than that of anything synthetic or made from a machine. Not only that, but the side effects are dramatically reduced, and most natural products are none addictive. Yet, prescription medications are prescribed by doctors who have been in medicine much long than many patients. So who do you trust? Which direction do you turn?
To help you decide, lets go over some pro’s and con’s of Holistic Vs. Scientific
Pro’s of Holistic or Alternative Medicine
*Holistic medicine has been around since before time, and nothing beats tradition.
*Hardly any side effects, if any at all.
*Often Cheaper than many prescriptions, and much safer
*Most are none addictive, and offer a much better longterm effectiveness
*When combined with other alternative methods, holistic approaches to life can extend your life ten fold
(Think Yoga, Acupuncture, Massage, etc..)
Con’s to Holistic or Alternative Approaches
*It is harder to find concrete evidence of which methods will work for which issues. Holistic doctors are also highly sought after, and might charge a bit more for their quality services than your family doctor does.
*There are many who believe that Alternative or Holistic methods don’t work.
*You can’t always by the holistic medicines or remedies that you need from stores. Many of them have to be hunted down from specialty shops, or grown and prepared at home from your garden.
*Most holistic or Alternative methods don’t always offer Immediate relief, and even though they do offer longer lasting relief, many still prefer the "right now" method.
Pro’s of Scientific Medicine
*The whole idea of Science is to Discover and Explore. Although you might not find relief from the 6 medications you have already tried, you are in a way, helping the rest of the community out by helping doctors discover which medications help treat your type of disorder or disease. All be it, it might be a painful trip, at least it can be considered a righteous one.
*There are many medications that are needed from the scientific stand point, and the herbal alternative just hasn’t been discovered yet. Heart medication, epilepsy medication, insulin, thyroid medication, blood pressure meds and others are still very important for those who take them. Many patients attempt to relieve themselves of these medications through the supervisions of trained professionals, and they do find the way out, but for many it is important to keep taking their medications when needed.
*Although your doctor isn’t perfect, they did spend a lengthy amount of time at school, and it is at least worth getting their opinion and trying what they have to offer you. Scientific medicine and remedies advance every day, and you never know what you may find.
Con’s of Scientific Medicines
*Many of the side effects to scientific remedies or medicines include, "Heart Attack", "Stroke" or "Death"
*Scientific Medicine and medical practices have never been considered a perfect application. Many doctors are not necessarily trained to prevent things from happening, but to manage them and to understand how to handle emergencies.
*You may end up being a lab rat for your local pharmaceutical, whether your doctor means to do it or not. It happens to the best of us, and however noble, it is completely understandable not to want to risk your health in that way. Holistic and natural methods offer a chance to experiment without risking your body or mind for the rest of your life.
*It is way to easy to over does on a prescription of over the counter medicine. This is not a highly desirable quality in many needed home remedies, as it is easy to poison one’s self, or to unknowing children or pets to poison themselves. Which isn’t a pretty thought.
As much as I do feel that scientific medicine has brought about the cures and remedies for so many ailments, I would rather urge you towards natural methods. Taking prescriptions and seeing doctors is expensive and there is no guarantee you will get relief for your pain.
If it doesn’t require surgery, there is almost always a natural method you can seek out to cure or manage your pain and symptoms.
The advances of Holistic and Natural health are coming along just as quickly as modern medicine, and the only thing you have to do is look for it.
