Nowadays, a growing number of people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor.

More people with health issues are becoming increasingly interested in trying

instead

of consulting their usual doctor. I believe

that is

a negative development because of the lack of medical credibility of

medical

practitioners

and the many unsupervised

that they use.

While

doctors are equipped with scientific medical knowledge from their degrees, a lot of

don't have any medical credentials to prove their expertise. Often times they are only learning about health and medicines through cultural

that lack scientific-proven data and methodologies.

For instance

Instead

Due to

the fact that many

are not legally recognized, many of the

that they use are not supervised.

Although

these

hence

the

medications

This

could lead to many medical side effects for the patients.

For instance
