instead

On the one hand, one benefit regarding Change preposition

service. Consequently
, people can probably find this
type
of alternative medicine more effective for them, since it may show health
improvements and sometimes are a cheap alternative. For example
, for individuals who do not have enough money this
type
of medicine can be more affordable and convenient since it has, in some cases, health
properties which help to improve organ functions such
as the heart, lungs or brain.
On the other hand
, one drawback related to the use
of this
type
of alternatives medicines is that it can be harmful to individuals, as some types of diseases need to be closely monitored. As a consequence
, people who do not have their disease
course treated properly can be in a dangerous situation. For instance
, there are some comorbidities such
as diabetes, hypertension or cycle cell disease
, which need to be strictly controlled by a doctor
's visit, in order to have all the adverse effects well monitored, without this
measure these diseases can easily attack individual'sindividual's organism, being lethal sometimes.
To conclude
even though the beneficial financial creates by not use
of health
services are not more effective than having a disease
well controlled by a doctor
visit regularly. Ideally, this
measure should be taken individually, as each individual knows what choices are more liable for them.Submitted by Nayara on
