When when we are sick should we let nature or medicin cure us?

Question

nature = more safe, builds up immune system, been used for centuries?

medecin(drugs) = unknown substances, can weaken immune system if used too liberally?

which do you think is more effective and why?

do you think ppl should be going to the doctor's for every little issue they have, or just use home remedies to cure themselves?

Answer 1

It us not a dichotomy. Naturally, we should not be artificially selecting our parasites, but we have eliminated some scourges from the world and ameliorated many others.

Of course, we need not overuse antibiotics.

Answer 2

If your medicine is an unknown substance, get a new doctor, now. Nature gave us big brains capable of inventing medicines, as well as the discretion to know when we need medicine and when we don't. I think you're polarizing your points to a needless degree.

Answer 3

Nature all the way...medication is no good...for every affliction in life there's a natural solution...thats the beauty of this world and life...Just look at all these medications they cure one thing then cause 2 more problems...then you got to get more medication to correct those problems and it goes so on and so on...forreal it's all about money...They have natural cures for everything, but theres to much money to be made in your sickness...

Answer 5

if nature was more safe than how to you explain all the toxins creatures produce that would kill you?

and drugs are tested vigorously to make sure that they do what they are advertised to do. "natural remedies" arn't as heavly regulated so you can advertise something that relieves pain, if you know how to side step FDA regulations.

Answer 6

You really think nature will cure all sicknesses? People used to die daily, leaving a life expectancy of 40 years max. Then comes medicine, and life expectancy goes up.

Answer 7

we need for the scientist to stop fu C king around with inventing new ways to poison us and start looking into safer natural meds . and the FDA need to stop testing on these cultured synthetic drugs and open up to a natural selection . other Country's have been for years and we are way behind .

Answer 8

I think that natural remedy would be best for whole of the species...those who are not phsysically strong enough will wither away and remove their genes from the human genepool, thereby strengthening it by not being a part of it.....

but personally I'll go with some good pharmaceuticals developed by doctors to cure a specific ailment.

Answer 9

Most medical treatment is supportive. It treats the symptoms while allowing the body to get better. Read what most cold medicines are supposed to do and you'll see this.

Today we have vaccines for many illnesses. Not taking this option means many will get sick and some will die. While such an option may be good got the race, ask yourself that when you're sick or your child is sick.

Answer 10

Modern medicine uses substances taken from nature, in most cases to affect the cures we are able to do.

Many of there substances were discovered centuries ago, probably some in pre-history.

Our system is in need of immediate repair. Our pharmaceutical companies develop new and poorly tested drugs every week. They do this, of course, not because of some altruistic interest in the betterment of mankind but, for profit.

Lawsuits have forced drug companies to divulge a few of the dangers associated with such a quest for profit.

I abhor the contempt for the consumer in adds that end with the attorney demanded caveat...

We need National Health more than ever. Several European countries have it and it works. Why not us?

I know the reason and we need to make some serious changes...soon!
