More and more people are suffering from health problems caused by a modern lifestyle which cannot be treated with modern medicines. Some people think that a return to traditional medicine should be encouraged. To what extent do you agree?

Nowadays, people's way of life is the major cause of different illnesses which can only be cured by local drugs

instead

of orthodox medicine. I do not concur with

this

, and it would be proven beyond reasonable doubt in

this

essay.

To begin

with, presently youth's way of life is nothing to write home about, most of them lead a sedentary lifestyle,

this

is because the outbreak of global economic crisis has generated a delicate situation to plenty of families,

hence

most of them have lost their jobs.

Consequently

,

this

has made them idle and engage in different terrible habits like smoking, drinking and philandering. " An idle hand is the devil's workshop" Medical report are well established that alcohol and smoking causes health problems

such

as diabetes and lung cancer.

For instance

, these diseases cannot be diagnosed by local medicines let alone cured by it.

Moreover

, traditional pill cannot treat these illnesses perfectly like modern drug,

for instance

, cancer require chemotherapy which cannot be treated locally. Local drugs are not being evaluated by the National Agency for Food and Drug administration and Control. Whereas, the orthodox drug goes through researches, and laboratory test before it is recommended.

Furthermore

, traditional herbs are detrimental to the health because it has no dosage and apparently people tend to abuse it. In conclusion, modern pills are the best for all illnesses because facts are being proven and facilities required are available in hospitals, whereas traditional drugs had no basis and could affect the overall functioning of the body,

for example

the digestive system.
