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?

In

this

era, more and more patients prefer to take folk medicines which are prescribed by someone else rather than having a consultation with their

doctors

. I totally claim that

this

can have negative impacts on the lives of human beings. First of all, taking

medicine

is not a joke. If someone takes

medicine

not instructed by

doctors

, it can cause death if he takes the wrong dose or dangerous

medicine

and treatment. That sort of thing usually happens in deprived areas of developing countries since they do not have enough medical knowledge and money to go and visit clinics.

Therefore

, they just predict their disease by themselves and take alternative

medicine

and treatment by asking people from their surroundings. In some deprived areas, some proportion of the population

unnecessarily by taking an inappropriate alternative medication. Even though some people argue that they are made with herbs and are not harmful, it is produced unconventionally without practicality and

not certified by any organization like the FDA, Ministry of Health, WHO and many more. If someone takes

medicine

which is not instructed by

doctors

and has a drug allergy,

then

, it can cause serious consequences and even lead to death. Some drugs can lead to serious health problems even though they do not lead

death

immediately.

For example

, taking an overdose of antibiotics can cause stomach diseases and some drugs are harmful to the kidneys.

Moreover

, some remedies are prohibited for some people who have some diseases,

for instance

, a patient who is suffering from kidney disease is not allowed to take very strong medicines. That’s why no one should take

medicine

without the instruction of

doctors

. In conclusion, it is really dangerous to take

medicine

by our own decision if we are not a doctor since we do not know about the remedies, our disease and our body conditions. It takes around 10 years to become a doctor.

Thus

, the medical field is complicated and we cannot decide to take alternative medicines and treatment without the help of

doctors

.
