Why Consider Natural Alternatives To Prescription Drugs

By Ronald Wilson


For several decades now, our society has been over-possessed with the prescription drugs; it has been seen as the best alternative available. This is however changing quickly, in the last few years, the health professionals through their research and publications have been able to convince the society that there are natural alternatives to prescription drugs that offer patients far much better results.

Today, the debate continues through several medical articles published every month. In these publications, the nutritionists as well as other health professionals argue that in the long run, the body, tends to achieve better recovery with the natural solutions as opposed to the use of laboratory inspired medicines.

Whenever one is diagnosed with any serious condition, including lifestyle conditions like diabetes or even heart disease, it is normal to be very scared, and the need to do anything that will keep you alive, and if possible healthy kicks in. At this moment, when one is desperate for a solution, you will not think twice of the solution you are given by your health professional.

However, a number of people have tried the other solution, and they never regret this decision, in fact, they are happier lot at the end of the ordeal. Generally, the medications that the doctors prescribe are associated with a number of side effects; in fact, in some cases they are even ineffective. The side effects in most cases tend to subside soon after the system has adjusted to the new drugs, however, the big question is whether it's worth trying when there are alternatives that may work better with no side effects.

The other concern is the tendency of the body to resist drugs in the long run. When any drug is used over a long period of time, it eventually becomes ineffective given that the pathogens in the body become resistant to them. At this time, there is a likelihood to over-use drugs, which could be detrimental to essential organs like the lever and the kidney, leading to regrettable results in the long run.

Better yet, the body organs are much safer. Using some drugs over a long period of time has been known to lead to malfunction of important organs like the liver, the kidney and other similar organs. More deaths are caused by overdose, over reliance, and advance reaction to the medicines, thereby calling for the need to seek better solutions for treatment.

Back pain, for instance, can be treated with just four chiropractic treatment sessions, and there is overwhelming scientific evidence to support this. The best and least costly method to lower the bad cholesterol in the body for instance is to focus on a diet rich in elements that suppress inflammations. Garlic, oats, olive oil and even red wine for instance, are just a few examples.

Whichever the alternative is better is not a simple question to answer, however, it is best to consider natural alternatives as long as your health condition allows. The prescribed medicines should only come as a last resort. Doctors are in a position to offer better advice by having a closer look at your health condition.
