Shahrzad Nikkhah Professor Keafer English 200 29 november 2012 Alternative medication Growing up in a family that has been using herbal music for years became a motivation for me to further my knowledge of this ancient practice of substitute medicine . The world health organization has announced that about 65 and 80 percent of worlds population habits traditional medicine, since the growing public opinion is that to get cured of disease you need to get to the root of the problem, and reach beyond the physical body.According to all the research it seems that alternative medicine is more efficient , more economical , less invasive and harmful than conventional medicine. While It has been proven that state of see and body are linked directly , mind body medicine helps in healing the body by changing the persons attitude which effects the immune endocrine and nervous system, eon stressed mind interrupts the functioning of the immune system and causes disease. More and more people are relying on the power of prayers , meditation , and herbal medicine to nourish their body from negative effect of stress hormone and proper break down of food in body.It has been shown that alternative medicine has helped many with depression and degenerative pain, hypertension, and diabetes. Conventional medicine is a quick fix which prevents the body from stimulating the immune system to fight an infection as in antibiotics which destroys the valuable bacterium that helps with digestion. Since the production of antibodies slows down, it prevents the future healing. CAM ( another name for alternative medicine ) helps promote natural healing process while it has by far less look effects and harm to the other organs resulting in a long term benefit.Due to low cost of CAM higher low income population can brook the health care, while the conventional medicine cost has been on the rise over inflation and wage growth. With the 13 percent of 38 million adults who use CAM in conju nction with conventional medicine in the last year the poorer population with no health insurance has been benefiting from this method of treatment, since herbs is easier to obtain , naturally in stock(predicate) and do not to be researched.Although , alternative medicine is not completely reliable to be used on serious illnesses many Americans have dour to alternative practices since they have not seen any positive results from standard medical or surgical treatment or because the traditional treatments are too high-priced or dangerous. Most alternative medicine principle is to eradicate the problem from its roots. With serious dedication , discipline , and change of life style alternative medicine is personalized to suit the needs of individual.Works Cited Grodjesk,Joe.
