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?

Nowadays, more

people

are choosing

alternative

treatments

and medicines

instead

of visiting their regular doctors.

While

these options may seem less stressful and cheaper, I believe they

also

bring several disadvantages.

Firstly

,

people

seek

alternative

treatments

because they want a quick and affordable way to get better.

However

, many of these

treatments

are provided by unqualified practitioners who do not have the same training as doctors.

As a result

, they often rely on personal experiences and assumptions

instead

of scientific knowledge.

For example

, in Indonesia, some

people

are advised to drink frozen drinks to cure tonsillitis, which is not supported by medical evidence and may even make the problem worse. Another reason why

people

choose

alternative

treatments

is to save money. Many individuals, especially in rural areas, cannot afford hospital care, so they turn to traditional healers or midwives.

However

, these

treatments

are often carried out without the necessary equipment or expertise, leading to dangerous situations.

For instance

, there has been an increase in miscarriages because many pregnant women in rural areas choose to give birth

midwives who lack the right tools. In conclusion,

while

alternative

treatments

may be cheaper and more accessible, they come with many risks. The lack of proper diagnosis and professional treatment can make a person’s condition worse, and in my opinion,

this

is a negative development.
