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 negative development? It is true that many

people

cure themselves

instead

of interviewing a usual doctor clinic.

Although

some medicines can be used for some minor health problems, in my opinion,

this

is a totally negative trend and all

treatment

must be done by a specialist person. I agree that, nowadays, a vast majority of individuals use medicine advised by friends and family or treat themselves by using traditional

ways

. Using unprescribed medicine could have devastating consequences that

people

are not aware of these

effects

.

For example

, by using a simple headache pill, they may reveal the pain but the cause of

that is

not revealed and perhaps because of tumours and some major diseases.

Furthermore

, each medicine has its side

effects

such

as sleeping in some allergic drugs that would be a big issue if

people

eat while driving.

Finally

, some traditional

ways

such

as using ice or heat pads for muscle pain

treatment

if did not use properly would aggravate the pain.

Therefore

, these remedies are not effective and they can have counterproductive

effects

.

On the other hand

, there are abundant doctors in our nearby that can be reached easily and

people

examine in effective

ways

with having low-risk factors.

Firstly

, specialists have academic qualifications in case of many kinds of diseases so they have the knowledge to select the best way for the

treatment

procedure.

Secondly

, they are aware of all medicines and side

effects

and could choose a decent remedy for each person in spite of age, gender and records.

Finally

, they have useful experience in the

treatment

cycle and

therefore

, they can choose the best practical way based on a number of years of experience. In conclusion, in my opinion, the best way for

treatment

is to visit physicians and accept their

treatment

because using prescriptions can have devastating

effects

.

People

should choose the low-risk

ways

of

treatment

that can be found in hospitals and clinics

instead

of drugstores.
