Modern Medicine and Your Health

There is stress crisis all over the world. It leads to increase in researches to proffer solutions and better still prevent its lethal result.

Modern medicine is an industry that wants more, not less, disease to treat.  Yet, use some type of complementary and alternative medicine

Complementary and alternative medicine refers to a wide-ranging collection of medical and health care systems, practices and products that aren't generally considered conventional medicine.  They include vitamin and herbal supplements, meditation, chiropractic treatment and acupuncture.

In a U.S. government survey more than 23,300 adults were interviewed about their use of complementary and alternative medicine.  More than 9,400 were also asked about their children's use of complementary and alternative medicine.

It was found that the use of techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, massage therapy, and yoga increased significantly.  The most common supplements used by adults are omega 3 fats, glucosamine, and ginseng.

Other findings from the survey showed that more women than men use complementary and alternative medicine (42.8 percent versus 33.5 percent).  Older, more educated and wealthier adults also used complementary and alternative medicine in greater numbers.
People with adequate knowledge of food supplements prefer them to the use drugs and western medicine because of "frightening" side effects.

It is becoming increasingly clear that conventional medicine is working against the public welfare.  Let us embrace alternative medicine for its importance on health versus illness, prevention versus cure.  People are hungry for a holistic alternative in which they feel treated like people, rather than diseases.

As the public demand for complementary and alternative medicine grows, a new and different type of provider will emerge.  It is your job as a proactive individual to evaluate what is moving you toward better health, and what isn't -- and that includes your relationship with your doctor.
