My Health Thoughts

Modern medicine vs alternative medicine. Which is better you may ask?

My answer is neither and both.

Depending on the health situation it could simply come down to the specific condition. For example, if you have an infection, you should seek immediate medical attention. Most important don’t self diagnose. The delay in treatment could be deadly.

However, if you have a health situation that can be helped by alternative medicine, then go for it. Sometimes both may be appropriate. I am very impressed with doctors who are open minded about alternative medicine. However, I am also disturbed when I hear about doctors who indulge in alternative medicine for themselves but don’t share it with patients. Worse yet, I am also disturbed when I hear about doctors who don’t ask patients how they were able to use an alternative approach to turnaround their medical situation.

I like a doctor who recommends that you eat yogurt to counter react the tiring effects of antibiotics. It is a good sign that he or she is open minded. Perhaps we need to question the doctor about their thoughts about alternative medicine to make sure they are in sync with our needs or believes.

Just my thoughts,

Lawrence
