Nowadays,especially when our love ones got into sickness, we immediatly relied on synthetic medicine, especially if it has been advised by our doctor, I have learned that synthetic medicine has a tremendous effect on our body in due time. I think we should learn to take alternative medicine or herbal and other home made remedy in treating anykind of sickness, one advantage asides from being cheap, it would make us more healthy and back to basics, since during our grandparent's generations, there no such thing as antibiotic, that's why they were able to reach a hundred years to live. what they have during that time was only home made remedy, what do you think?

I prefer natural remedies first. Then if it isn't working, I would move on to science.

I usually consult a doctor first before taking in any forms of medications (be it natural or chemical). I even ask the doctor if she could recommend any alternatives because it's much cheaper and can be easily accessible (such as herbal medicines).

there's no better way than taking natural/herbal medicines. but its a case to case basis cause some can be detrimental to your illness specially if its fatal. but for natural condition brought by changing weather condition herbal meds is good and adviceable.

Hi, i go with you in saying that synthetic medicines have got bad effect on our bodies. They were designed not actually to cure but to relieve the pain. Our body is composed of many cells, and once one cell is destroyed, it affects the whole system. For example, high blood happens when the blood can't clearly pass through the artery due to bad cholesterol. According to modern medicine, that disease can't be cured and people who have it just need to take in lifetime maintenance that could stretch the artery in order for the blood to pass through. Instead of taking in lifetime maintenance, why not try alternative medicines that have the ability to remove the bad cholesterol that blocks the passageway?
