Alternative Medicine

[mazdamazda]

Pansin ko lang... ang dami na ngayong mga alternative medicine / cures na nag aadvertise sa mga local stations... like Osaka Iridology. Or yung kung Herbal Tea na may 6 weeks after na result.

Hindi ba medyo misleading ang mga ganito since baka jan ka na lang mag rely instead on traditional medicine / cures?

ewan ko lng kng effective mga yan pero ako nagtatake ako ng supplements like fish oils n beta carotene 10,000 IU hehe

[chieffy]

tatanungin ko rin sana iyang tungkol sa Osaka Iridology...naunahan mo ako he he

Nung bata ako, we usually drink Chinese herbal medicines pag may sakit, ang maganda kasi dito walang side effect... and it works. Yun lang nga ang sama ng lasa, kaya pagkatapos uminom kumakain kami ng champoy para mawala yung after taste.

osaka iridology...sabi ng opthalmologist tese are not that essential in determining sickness, anyway respect sa mga osaka iridoligist believer, when they are healed or cured e di ok=) some herbal doest haev side effects, sabi nila basta herbal nio side effects, contrary to that merinb sin side effects first sa liver, second, parang traditional med din yun, more preparation lang yun

OK lang if effective pero sana hindi misleading as in they do away with traditional medicine tapos lumala tuloy. Options are always good as long as assessed properly.

Herbal concoctions may also be very potent so it does not mean they are harmless if used indiscriminately.

2 cent's worth lang po...

For those willing to try, there is a clinic in Pasig which advocates the use of food to cure the various illness that afflicts us. Its called Wellness Institute, it calls for the use of natural foods, like vegetables and fruits to cleanse our body of toxins in our eating of processed food, they aim to train you to refrain from processed foods and eat natural foods instead. They have a program for people to lose weight, thru the use of natural fruit and vegetable juice in your diet to lose as much as 1 pound a day for 7 days. Have tried their gallstone flush, to use olive oil and fruit juices to remove gallstones in your system without surgery, you can realy feel the stones disintegrate and in 3-4 hrs flush out of your system thru your bowel, all for a cost of only 1.5k instead of surgery costing 60k to 80k. This could give hospitals and traditional doctors a run for their money. They have this theory, that doctors here have been trained to use commercial medications in all their treatments, because drug companies trained them to do so, neglecting the use of cheaper and readily available natural cures. Just a thought.

Sa totoo lang, nung nasa medicine pa ko, ang dami kong mga pasyente na lalong nagkanda-loko-loko dahil sa mga alternative at doctor quack quack medicine.

Nung malala na saka na lang nagpunta ng ospital. And financial reasons are not entirely to blame. Kahit ibang pay patients medyo matigas ang ulo. Though we respect their beliefs, it also pays to see a doctor before starting alternative medicine regimens/practices.
