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

These days, the number of patients who prefer alternative medicines and treatments rather than visiting

doctors

are increased. I think it has negative effects on human health, and

this

essay will mention some of its disadvantages.

To begin

with, some people have a strong tendency toward trying alternative methods

instead

of visiting

doctors

for their diseases.

In other words

, the

first

reason is they probably do not get positive results in terms of their disease after visiting

doctors

.

Therefore

, it encourages them to use other ways for treatment,

such

as eating some special local drugs or vegetables.

As a result

, it could be very dangerous because

this

method does not have a scientific basis.

For example

, one of my cousins got the coronavirus, so

instead

of going to a hospital, he preferred eating some traditional drugs.

Consequently

, not only it did not help him but

also

made his disease worse.

Furthermore

, the

second

reason is going to a hospital and visiting

doctors

usually are very costly.

This

led to reducing the amount of willingness regarding going to a hospital and motivates them to use a cheaper way of treatment. In fact,

this

could be hazardous, and even in some cases lead to death.

For instance

, in Iran, the cost of surgery is very high, and

last

year one of my colleagues had a heart problem, and because of the cost of surgery he preferred to do some exercises which led to death, and it was so tragic. In conclusion, in my view, using any type of treatment

instead

of visiting usual

doctors

could be very dangerous and have a lot of drawbacks.

As a result

, to prevent

this

, the government should educate people about disadvantages, and

also

decline the cost of visiting

doctors

or going to a hospital for treatments.
