Beware of alternative medicine .........

P1030293

But just why do most people opt for alternative treatment knowing well they still have to fork out considerable sum of money and the outcome is uncertain?

P1030299

ALTERNATIVE treatment, including Traditional and Complementary Medicine, is a popular option among Malaysians and other part of the region in treating various ailments.

I stumble upon this street medicine vendor and ask permission to read the medicine ingredient just to make sure the product did not contain any known ingredient that may be harmful if taken without strict supervision.As far as I'm concern such products, should not be sold unless there is proof of its efficacy and registered with the authorities.Hence, in dealing with health, seeking professional help should be the primary concern and not simply finding remedies from unreliable sources including the street medicine peddlers.

There are still people who trust the traditional medicine man more than a qualified practioner. Perhaps they are hoping for a miracle cure what mainstream medicine can't do?
