Hello
I have been reading books about staying healthy and living healthy, and most of them usually focus on only plants, even if it is a disease there is a plant or part of the plant that can cure the disease.
To my shocking news, almost all diseases have a natural remedy to cure them slowly without doing any harm to the body
On the other side, The developed chemicals that cure disease fast have little effect on the body, according to the books I'm reading is that the disease is cured fast because it is not eliminated from the body but is covered up.
I really don't know much about medicine but what could you choose natural medicine or chemical?

Whoever wrote the book you've been reading is a proponent of natural remedies... which is fine if that's how you prefer to get your medication. The reason real doctors aren't proponents of natural remedies is because there's no guarantee of the amount of medication you can get from individual plants. Each plant concentrates the medication in different amounts whereas man-made medications are guaranteed to have the amount of medication that the bottle says is in each tablet/pill/dose.

@leighnyork Yes, as long as I can afford the medicine, I prefer it to home remedies.

I'm not one who would pop a pill whenever I get a headache or feel any for of pain. I'd reach out for water, rest, and essential oils.

You have probably been reading a book written by a writer who favors natural ways to cure an illness. Many many illnesses can be helped by natural remedies. But no one has been able to fix my migraines, fibromyalgia, extreme back injury, or depression with a natural cure. And I have tried everything. Not to say SOME people won’t find aid in nature, but more won’t. Nothing in nature helped my mom’s dementia, my dad’s cancer, or my dad’s neck injury.
I’m not saying chemical medications don’t often cause more harm, or are just used as band aids, because they are. Some pharmaceuticals cause more health problems that prompt another health issue! But when it comes down to it, be careful of anyone who tells you cancer, or brain trauma, or something like that can be cured by something in nature as easily as modern medicine can.
The truth probably lies in the middle. While extreme cases of anything most often need a “chemical”, as you call it, minor issues can often be solved in a very natural way. And, let’s not forget even some natural remedies also have side effects. They just aren’t usually as bad as the ones from pharmaceuticals.

@leighnyork You absolutely have the right idea! I am always just a little worried people will suffer needlessly thinking a natural cure will heal them, when it can’t. I watched a documentary the other day, and this woman’s legs were so bad, maggots had infested her wounds. The doctors had given her medicine, but instead she took natural cures, and her legs were in such poor shape she couldn’t walk.

I take two "chemical remedies" daily and am glad that I have them. Sometimes I supplement them with "natural remedies", but I would not give up the "chemical" ones completely.

I agree with DE. I will continue to take prescription meds for my ailments. Have a good day.
