According to the American Medical Association Journal, over 100,000 Americans die in
hospitals every year due to side effects from regularly prescribed medications. Throughout
America, a huge amount of medication is prescribed on a daily basis. The medical
community openly acknowledges that fact that it does not have any cure for several
common diseases that affect people.
Most allopathic medicines have side effects that can range from mild to severe. The reason
for this is that most of these chemicals have certain toxic properties. This is why there have
been so many prescription drugs that got pulled from the market after enjoying several
years of FDA approval.
The sad thing is that very few doctors nowadays bother to inform patients about possible
side effects due to close and cozy relationships with the pharmaceutical industries.
Half of the truth is that pharmaceutical companies will only tell doctors as much as they
want to and not reveal the complete picture. Therefore, the doctors are not completely to
blame because they cannot warn patients against side effects of chemicals they are not
aware of.

The trouble is that the business is so profitable is that these medicine manufacturers are
more concerned with profits and FDA approval rather than the overall effect on the
patients.
This is one reason why several doctors are now beginning to recommend complementary
alternative treatments, like herbal therapies and medicines.
Here are some interesting facts:
● The totally amount of annual profits made by pharmaceutical companies through
sale of drugs in the United States alone is over $100 billion
● More than 25% of all prescription drugs available contain plant derivatives
● More than 80,000 types of plants are used all over the world for medicinal purposes
● Over 75% of the global population depends on herbal remedies for regular treatment
There are several choices available for people who are looking for alternative remedies,
including Acupuncture, Yoga, Qigong, Tai chi, Ayurveda, hydrotherapy, massage therapy,
homeopathy, energy medicines, holistic approaches, and aromatherapy. In fact, the
number of herbal remedies available for different ailments equals (if not exceeds) the
number of regular drug treatments provided by pharmaceutical companies.
The point is that prevention always was and always will be better than any cure,
mainstream or alternative. The advantage of herbal remedies is that they move an
individual towards a lifestyle more geared toward prevention and cure in the early stages of
any affliction.
Pharmaceutical drugs work only after the problem has development, they do not try to
prevent problems because then the manufacturing companies would go into a loss.
This is where herbal remedies leave the mainstream drugs behind.
