Natural Health Supplements
It is believed by some strong supporters of natural medicine that taking natural supplements can reduce or eliminate the need of prescription drugs. Did you know that the first drugs ever used were actually processed herbs? Before sophisticated medical science came along, ailments and illnesses were treated with herbal remedies. Even early medicines discovered by scientists and manufactured by pharmaceutical companies were made with natural ingredients. Aspirin originally was made using the bark of willow trees and penicillin came from mold.
So why is natural medicine called alternative, and why are pharmaceuticals considered to be the most respectable solutions? Some argue that the answer to this is all about money. Pharmaceutical companies discovered that some plant based medicines could easily be replicated in synthetic forms in mass quantities by chemists in the lab. This allowed them to make a lot of money, and much of these funds were donated to medical schools across the world. Stipulations of what should be taught as appropriate medicine is believed to have been passed along with the large donations of money.
This is not at all meant to discount the miraculous discoveries and innovations of modern medical science. It is simply meant to point out one possibility of why natural health practices are sometimes considered to be controversial or not as readily approved by the FDA. Still, there is a lot of time and effort spent on researching the benefits of natural medicines and health supplements. Prescription drugs often treat only the symptoms. Natural health supplements treat the body as a whole and make it stronger. This can perhaps stop the symptoms from coming back.
