Do Alternative Medicines work?

Question

I dont' know ... i might switch to it. Using Medicines that came straight from herbs and such , sound comforting..... but does it work?

Answer 1

As far as my Homeopathic experience goes they work 100%, and totally without any side effects or complications.

Take Care and God Bless !

Answer 2

Sometimes yes, I think a person needs to keep an open mind and use whatever works. If you have a problem that many have had use the standard treatment such as strep throat take the antibiotic but some things just don't respond to normal treatment so there is plenty of room for alternative meds. Good Luck -k-

Answer 3

Sometimes yes and some times no. But that is the case for western medicine as well. Alternative medicines also tend to focus on general health more than specific issues. The thought being that - if your in good health then you are less likely to need to deal with a specific illness. One of the many alternative medicine categories is Aromatherapy.

Answer 4

oh yes! My wife went to a naturopath after seeing both doctors and specialists, and he did a 2 hour Q and A with her, said her liver was damaged from having mono as a kid, and told her how to take vineger to help. And it did!

I had a bad elbow, and motrin for months did not help, so I started on a juice called Xango, which has anti-inflamatories, and within 10 days, I am good to go. And, as a bonus, I did not have hay fever for the first time in twenty years, and I think it was cause of the juice.

Pharmasuedical (sp? ) companies make huge money, and they get their biggest sales from doctors writing out prescriptions. The pharm companies encourage MDs to sell their stuff. But more and more MDs are looking to natural stuff. My wife's doc is actually getting deeply into eastern medicne as a study, and accupuncture.

Answer 5

Yes they most definitely do, But because of peoples lack of knowledge on what herbs and oils to use for what part of the body that needs repairing they need guidance. And another thing is that most people are use to man made meds. and the quick effect they get, where alternative healing takes time and the benefits are a long term reward..

Answer 6

Yes Absolutely I am 57 and living testimony. Healthy, happy and active! Ask around for a good Naturopathic Doctor. Presciption drugs are toxic to the human body, and should only be used in an extreme emergency .

Answer 7

Yes it works ,that's why these are getting popular day by day,especially homoeopathy.
It is not psuedo science If it is the placebo effect that cures most of the terminal disorders then ,why the followers of modern medicines were giving a lot of dangerous drugs for these conditions instead of any placebo?

Answer 8

Yes, For the past 3 years I have suffered with asthma. Every night and morning I wake up needing my inhaler. I started taking VIDACELL when a friend suggested I give it a try. The very first night I used VIDACELL, I slept straight through the night and awoke without trying to catch my breath. I have now been taking VIDACELL for 10 days, and I haven't used my inhaler once.

Without a doubt!!!!!!!!

Herbs, Reiki, Pranic healing, qigong, TCM, huna, and many more work.

Reiki, Huna, Qigong, crystal healing, accupuncture, are some of the modalities I have learned over the years.

Answer 10
