alternative medicines and treatment instead of visiting their usual doctor.


Do you think this is a positive or negative development ?

More and more people with health issues are now choosing alternative remedies and
therapies rather than conventional treatment recommended by their physicians. This essay
will point out the overwhelmingly negative development of this phenomenon.
On the one hand, non-mainstream medicines and treatments also bring certain positive
advances. Admittedly, People can save money and time from medical institutions. For
instance, herbal medicines would be much more affordable, compared with the costly
therapies in the government hospitals. Moreover, patients have to take turns queuing to get
diagnosed in the hospitals which is satisfied by alternative treatment such as acupuncture
and aromatherapy.
On the other hand, non-mainstream medicines and treatments pose negative
development. Firstly, it leads to health-related dangers which are unsafe for people. Certain
vitamins and minerals, according to several medical experts, are reported to raise the risk of
cancer or other illnesses, especially if huge medicines are taken. Secondly, alternative
therapies would have late diagnosis of serious diseases. To illustrate, people with symptoms
such as cancer or tumor that need to be relieved immediately, might not be cured fast and
scientifically by alternative medicines and treatment. Last but not least, if people opt for non-
mainstream remedies, graduating in the medical field would be unemployment.
In conclusion, despite the fact that alternative medicines offer several benefits in limited
ways, i generally believe that the tendency towards such non-standard ways way of
treatment has been changed for the worse.
