i prefer natural or alternative medicine. conventional medicine has a high probability of reactions, complications and side effects. maybe if, i pray not, i had an accident, then i will have no choice but take conventional medicines, the last recourse for me.

i would prefer natural medicine coz its safe on chemical preservatives. we know very well that side effects occur due to those chemical preservatives being mixed with regular medicine most especially high dosage antibiotics. :-)

I believe on the use of both natural and artificial medicine. The problem set out is that artificial or so called regular medicine actually relies on the mind effect (If i take this pill, i will feel better) - there have been numerous studies regarding this that proved that most of the action is done by the brain believing the pill will work instead of the pill that actually worked; also the regular medicines is treating the effects of the disease (so this is a rather short term solution), while the natural and alternative tend to treat the cause of the disease (so this would be the long term solution).
To sum it up, i also believe that it depends on the purpose.

Both! The natural is so good for prevention and I wish I'd use it more.. but if I or my family needs manmade medicines we'll use those too.. I know the natural is more subtle and takes longer, but there isn't the side effects!

Like you, I use both. I tend toward natural remedies first, and seldom need a doctor. When I do need one, I am glad there is one available, though.

Yeah, I use both of them, depending on the nature of need. If for treatment of infectious diseases I will surely use the regular medicine which could act more effectively. Other than that I prefer to use those natural medicine likes herbs which are believed to have less side effects.

Well, I prefer natural medecine as I'm always scared of what the side effects might be from chemicals, both immediate ones (like allergies or vomiting) and the long-term ones that we don't know about.
