Alternative!!!!?? Medicine!!!
Posted by Dilip on June 14, 2007
I always pondered on this particular term, alternative medicine. Well I think medicine is medicine alternative or not, if there are enough tests, for example like the blind test, to prove they work. In pharmaceutical industry, this I think is one of the proved method to finally put a working medicine in the market. Why?!!, would somebody come up with alternative medicine?! If they really work should they not be called medicine. Why don’t we get homeopathy in normal medical shops!? Because they all don’t work?, maybe this is a scam industry?. This is not me saying this is the research saying. Check this website. Thats why these people coin and come up with terms like alternative medicine. Acupunture, Heomeopathy, voodoo magic, whatever and various other are still alternative medicines, they are yet to be proved on medical grounds.
All I am trying to say is…it is really simple if these products/procedures work, with various research and tests and what ever..it will be included in mainstream medicine thats it. As simple as that. Alternative medicine!!!…ugh…BS..
I remember, when I was a kid one of my uncle..kind of… who is a self made homeopathist out of some book he purchased at the corner of the street, always used to get these test tube kinda bottles with tiny white balls. Imagine becoming a open heart surgeon or a pharmacist just by reading book out of the corner of the street. You will sued your ass off, back home in Hyderabad, if anything goes wrong our ass will sawed off!!!
Well anyway on this note, a pic of the day from thefirstpost.co.uk
