Conventional
Cures VS Natural Herbal Cure
According
to the American Medical Association Journal, over 100,000 Americans die
in hospitals every year due to side effects from regularly prescribed
medications. Throughout America, a huge amount of medication is
prescribed on a daily basis.
The medical community
openly acknowledges that fact that it does not have any cure for
several common diseases that affect people. Most allopathic medicines
have side effects that can range from mild to severe. The reason for
this is that most of these chemicals have certain toxic properties.
This is why there have been so many prescription drugs that got pulled
from the market after enjoying several years of FDA approval.
The
sad thing is that very few doctors nowadays bother to inform patients
about possible side effects due to close and cozy relationships with
the pharmaceutical industries.
Half of the truth is
that pharmaceutical companies will only tell doctors as much as they
want to and not reveal the complete picture. Therefore, the doctors are
not completely to blame because they cannot warn patients against side
effects of chemicals they are not aware of.
The
trouble is that the business is so profitable is that these medicine
manufacturers are more concerned with profits and FDA approval rather
than the overall effect on the patients.
This is one
reason why several doctors are now beginning to recommend complementary
alternative treatments, like herbal therapies and medicines.
Here
are some interesting facts:
• The totally
amount of annual profits made by pharmaceutical companies through sale
of drugs in the United States alone is over $100 billion
•
More than 25% of all prescription drugs available contain plant
derivatives
• More than 80,000 types of plants are
used all over the world for medicinal purposes
• Over
75% of the global population depends on herbal remedies for regular
treatment
There are several choices available for
people who are looking for alternative remedies, including Acupuncture,
Yoga, Qigong, Tai chi, Ayurveda, hydrotherapy, massage therapy,
homeopathy, energy medicines, holistic approaches, and aromatherapy. In
fact, the number of herbal remedies available for different ailments
equals (if not exceeds) the number of regular drug treatments provided
by pharmaceutical companies.
The point is that
prevention always was and always will be better than any cure,
mainstream or alternative. The advantage of herbal remedies is that
they move an individual towards a lifestyle more geared toward
prevention and cure in the early stages of any affliction.
Pharmaceutical
drugs work only after the problem has development, they do not try to
prevent problems because then the manufacturing companies would go into
a loss.
This is where herbal remedies leave the
mainstream drugs behind. This is also the reason why so many people are
daily turning to herbal therapies.
Herbal remedies
treat the cause of the disease and not the symptoms (like conventional
drugs). Herbal remedies also have almost no side effects. |
