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

There is an increasing number of

people

who choose to treat themselves with alternative medicine and treatments rather than coming to the hospital. In my opinion,

this

is a negative development since

this

movement not only can be the culprit of many new dangerous

diseases

but is

also

harmful to a person's health in the long run.

First

and foremost, it can be clearly seen that, with the burgeoning of medicine, many hazardous

diseases

in the past can now be easily treated with the help of antibiotics.

However

, many viruses and

Therefore

, many of those who choose to treat themselves might follow the wrong path by choosing an inadequate treatment that later on could worsen the situation of their health.

Also

, a lot of symptoms might be underestimated by

people

but can only be cured under the speculation of doctors.

For instance

,

people

who got cancer only found out about it in the final stage of the disease where it is impossible to be cured. In conclusion, switching from visiting doctors to self-treatment can be the main reason behind the appearance of new dangerous

diseases

.

Also

this

development can be detrimental to a person's health.
