No comment other than please seek a legitimate medical professional if you are ever experiencing a serious medical situation.
LOL! Hey now, I never said that wasn't a good step to take. But some complimentary healing certainly isn't going to hurt anything. AND further research and experiments are definitely in order!
The only thing alternative medicine "cures" is your wallet from being obese.
And mainstream medicine doesn't do the same? Apparently we have two very different insurance companies!
Yes but you actually might get better with modern medicine.
Only if you're lucky!
Prescription Drugs Now Kill More People than Illegal Drugs
- For the first time, deaths from properly prescribed drugs now outnumber traffic fatalities in the United States
- Drug-induced fatalities are being fueled by overdoses on prescription pain and anxiety medications
- Those most at risk from dying from this new drug crisis are people in their 40s, but teenagers and the elderly are also at risk
- Between 2001 and 2008, there was a 36 percent increase in hospital admissions, and a 28 percent increase in emergency room visits, among children age 5 and younger who had accidentally ingested medication
But I suppose as I am in the minority and not actually here to change anyones mind, it is time for me to collect my essential oils, marijuana, and tibetan singing bowls, and bow out. ;-)
1) Arguing that modern medication kills more people than something else by linking to a reference which states that its overdoses/accidental/addictions/ or other missuse of medication is childish at best. It does nothing for your argument what so ever.
2) Marijuana is being used for modern medication; its illegal status in many countries hampers its use, but it is being used as a form of pain relief.
3) Modern Medicine makes extensive use of herbal/folk/traditional medication. Indeed the foundations of many medications can be traced back to those roots. Modern medicine simply studies those properties and components to find which produce the most reliable recovery and then, from that, produce chemical compositions of those components, suitable for mass market delivery.
4) Medicine is not an exact science nor is it simplistic. Many conditions can show the same symptoms; furthermore some conditions can combine and produce symptoms which mask what each of the individual underlaying causes are. As a result there is an element of trial and error in all medicine. Doctors us studies and make educated theories and take the best course of action possible.
5) Sound has got some interesting properties; however the difference between someone simply shouting at you and actual audio healing/methods is vast. Again most of these "sound curse - homoeopathic cures - crystals cure - holy water etc..." have no scientific studies that support them. What science which does support them tends to only be in-house to companies which profit directly off the sale/marketing/use of those methods.
As said if crystals could cure modern drug companies would be falling over themselves to use them - crystals being a LOT cheaper than many of those other chemical compositions that they produce. And homoeopathy is so cheap its insane - drugs companies would be leaping to use it if it really worked (as would bottled water companies).
6) Most of those "homoeopathic" and similar "cures" work by three elements
a) Placebo effect. Which is a documented scientific fact that if you think you'll recover you get an increased chance to do so. This is often augmented by the fact that many treatment centres offer long consultations and almost act as a form of psychological support. This is a big thing and its not as if modern doctors avoid it; but more that their workload denies them the opportunity to offer that as part of the treatment for many ailments.
b) Many common ailments often resolve themselves. The body isn't without its own ways of recovery and not all sickness is long lasting. As a result many ailments can resolve themselves. Some won't and never will - cancer is one of those that won't.
c) Lack of proper education/mistrust of "big companies" "doctors" "the man" etc... Sadly many people lack a proper scientific education at even a basic level. This leaves them very vulnerable to companies eager to make big profits through the sale of false medical cures. This is exacerbated by the fact that people with serious medical conditions are often in a vulnerable state of mind and very scared. As a result something that sounds really safe; sounds really easy; hasn't got any downsides; et c.. sounds far more attractive than the scary operations that could kill as much as cure you that modern medicine offers.
