Nowadays, an increasing number of people with helath problems are using alternative medicine and treatment instead of visitiong their normal doctor. Do you think this is a positive or negative development.

In recent years, more people have begun to turn to

alternative

medicine

rather than seeking help from their regular doctors.

While

some see

this

trend as a positive move towards more natural and holistic healing, I believe it presents more dangers

such

as insecurity and lack of doctor's qualifications. Undoubtedly, there are a number of

alternative

treatments that do not correspond to mandatory requirements namely scientific evidence. To exemplify, Ayurveda is an Indian traditional treatment method, where as much as 80% of the population report using Ayurveda, but there was no proof from science;

conversely

,

safety

concerns have been raised about Ayurveda, with two U.S. studies finding about 20% of Ayurvedic Indian-manufactured patent medicines contained toxic levels of heavy metals

such

as lead, mercury and arsenic. There are an enormous number of

such

kinds of

alternative

medicine

that are still unchecked by doctors, who are proving the effect on practice; scientists, who are proving the effect theoretically; and the government, who gave permission to use it in ordinary

medicine

.

Therefore

, residents must rely on proven and safe treatment methods in public hospitals.

Moreover

, most of the doctors who practice

alternative

medicine

don't have a licence or permission.

For example

, reports from organizations like the WHO and legal actions by agencies like the FDA highlight the lack of regulation, leading to unlicensed individuals providing treatments without proper qualifications, which can endanger patient

safety

. Absence of the licence can lead to the lethal endings, which is really rare in regular

medicine

.

Furthermore

,

this

is

also

illegal in every single state of the world.

Hence

, it is better to use NHS rather than

alternative

PHS

due to

safety

reasons. In conclusion, the absence of scientific evidence and proper licensing among many

alternative

medicine

practitioners

further

exacerbates these dangers, posing significant threats to patient

safety

. It is crucial for individuals to prioritize proven and regulated treatments provided by licensed healthcare professionals in public hospitals to ensure their well-being.
