Alternative Medicine

I am, actually, going for my Bachelor's degree, in Alternative Medicine. I will be finished next year. People should be careful when reading up on the internet, and self-medicating (or herbing). Some herbs will interact with some meds. People should consult a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) or herbalist.

I am for natural cures like proper rest, dieting and measured abstinence. As for alternative medicine, I would only consider it when I am under the advice of a Naturopathic Doctor or in my country a qualified Chinese Medicine Physician who will know how to get the concoctions and proportions correct. To avoid accidents from overdosing and unintended abuses. I can understand your extensive research and methods here but there are just some cases where "poisonous" herbs are used for cures to certain ailments and you just cannot do it without knowledge of what to use to compliment or treat it to neutralize the poison so that it can become an effective cure. Here the proportions and methods needs to be right. Then there is a need to check if yourself or anyone going into these herbal medicines have allergies with the herbs.

I am learning all the time about natural foods and food supplements - that are just food too.. :) The best would be real, organic food, but sometimes it is not available, and takes time to prepare, so I also take food supplements that are made of food. I am following some scientists with Stanford University and gnld.com - Dr Arthur Furst founded that group of scientists. He was the one who invented the toxicology and cancer treatments in the 1950s, but in his later years he worked with finding ways to prevent cancer and other health problems with foods, and he is behind Carotenoid Complex, a powerful combination of over 100 carotenoids with a lot of health benefits. At least the nature products of gnld.com have helped me a lot during the over 15 years I have used them.. I avoid synthetic vitamins of course and try to find organic foods in the store..

Hi Dorianna! My name is Felix or Felice in Italian. First of all I want to say that A Melody Of Love is so beautiful in the lyrics, the tune and the music. Well done! I try to get all that my body needs in the food that God designed for us. I take a few supplements now and then but agree with you that it's all about money and a lot of it is worthless, if not dangerous, as it is not natural, We were not designed to take specific nutrients but to take them the way God designed them. I spent a lot of money taking supplements and when I needed them the most, they proved a waste of money. Live long and prosper!

It cannot be called alternative,but natural and correct medicine.We should have good required food,medicinal food and herbal medicines.
