Why has the use of alternative medicine become widespread?


The use of alternative medicine (eg: acupuncture, reflexology) is becoming very widespread. Why might this be so?

Because the cost of traditional healthcare has skyrocketed.

Partly because they have been tested by time, partly because "actual" medicine is unaffordable for a lot of people. did you know that alot of "actual" medicine is based on old home remedies?

Because they are cheaper than western medicine. Also, given the many side-effects of western medicine, people tend to choose alternative medicine.

More and more people are seeing that allopathic medicine is not a cure all!

Alternative medicine is cheaper, and that might be why people are flocking to it initially, but here's the reason they stay: It Works! Alternative medicine has few to no harmful side effects that western medicine has soo many of. Every time we turn around, another 100,000 people have died due to improper testing of harmful drugs. Also, in the case of, say, acupuncture, the Chinese have been using it for thousands of years. It is time-test proven to promote the whole well-being of the person, as well as helping and curing illness and ailments. I have seen many people, myself included come out of many health concerns through the use of alternative medicine (Just what I have personally seen includes: High blood pressure, Osteoperosis, Obesity, Depression, Hyper-active Thyroid, and Athlete's Foot.) The problem with western medicine is the fact that its entire basis is that only a drug or surgery can cure, prevent, or treat an illness. That is simply and totally not true. Many people are coming to realize this, and have chosen a healthier, longer-lasting solution.

loss of confidence with traditional western medicine.

Because people are incredibly gullible. They are willing to believe any sort of hopeful promises and cannot distinguish between pseudoscience and reality.

What we call western medicine only works for extreme illness and a lot of times they treat the symtoms and not the illness.
Take cloistral lowering drugs,what a scam.
