Currently there is a trend towards the use of alternative forms of medicine. However, at best these method are ineffective, and at worst that may be dangerous. To what extent did you agree with this statement.

There has been a discussion around the new

medicine

and whether to use it in hospitals or totally forbid doctors from putting it into work. I strongly believe we should not trust the alternative

forms

when it comes to the lives of human beings.

Although

science is proven to be inconsistent and not permanent, it is sufficient to save lives and

that is

enough for me to defend it against the superstition that we call alternative

medicine

.

Firstly

, what is not science we cannot know for a fact that they work. The physicians who have not studied

in a university, often are salesmen who want their products to replace the usual drugs.

Moreover

, their desire for money costs a lot of people their money.

For example

, there was a traditional doctor working near my house who got arrested after 20 years of practice. Not surprisingly, he was condemned for fraud

Thus

, the number of people who take advantage of our superstitions is rising

industry.

Secondly

, they will most likely cause harm to our health. The moment you start to take approved medication and act based on non-ordinary medical instructions, you are delaying the real medication you really need and

therefore

, your disease might advance and become more dangerous.

Furthermore

, the social effects of believing in non-science practices are devastating as fewer folk will actually believe their doctors and choose secondary

forms

of healing.

For instance

, in a house where the parents are superstitious, the youth won't understand the essence of

medicine

and

then

, they are more likely to avoid seeing an actual physician.

To conclude
