Nowadays, a growing number of people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

Recently, the number of

people

with sicknesses who are using unusual

medicines

and

treatments

has been growing, and they replaced

this

method with visiting doctors. In my opinion, it is a negative development that will be discussed in

this

essay.

Firstly

, all

medicines

and

treatments

have side

effects

, and they can hurt other parts of the human body.

Therefore

, before selecting

treatments

it is crucial to analyse the side

effects

, and the only person who can do

this

is a

doctor

. If

people

start treating themselves without visiting a

doctor

, small health problems could become critical ones and hurt their lives.

For example

,if a man has pain in his back

instead

of going to the

doctor

try to use some

medicines

or massage. After a while, his pain gets worse and other parts of his body have pain.

Secondly

, some

treatments

have bad

effects

which

people

do not realise , but when they get older those

effects

will appear.

Furthermore

, those

effects

can cause death or if there is any way to treat them it takes a lot of time.

For instance

, nowadays fat

people

are trying unusual ways to lose weight but in a long term, those ways cause a lot of problems for them. In conclusion, if

people

use

medicines

and

treatments

without visiting a

doctor

, they put themselves in a critical situation.
