As the title says..When you are sick, do you prefer to go to the doctor or someone who specializes in all-natural herbs and stuff.
I prefer the doctor simply because I don’t want to play with my body (lol) and wait too long for a cure on the off-chance some weird jungle herb will cure me.
I believe natural medication is good for minor things like nutritional supplements, deodorant, curing a cold…but when you have an ear infection or strep throat or the flu, I prefer to go to the doctor. When my life is at stake, I prefer to go to the doctor.
I don’t use pills for anything, really. I don’t use Advil or vitamins (Too many vitamins? – health effects of taking megadoses of vitamins | Harvard Health Letter | Find Articles at BNET) or any other type of drug unless administered by the doctor, since I don’t believe in pumping my body full of pills that may do me more harm than good (weaker immune system, more dependency when I feel pain, problems later, etc)
Right now I can’t talk and my head is a mess and my mom has me on this weird natural liquid drop thing three times a day and vitamin C and so far it isn’t working. And I feel that by the time it does “work”, the sickness will already be gone.
Your views on Doctor/all-natural?
I am not putting a middle-ground option in here so you have to think about your choice, weigh the good and the bad of each, and ultimately choose between the two.
There is a third option for those who use alternative methods to Doctor and All Natural.
